Phone Calls vs Emails – They Are Both Important, But For Different Reasons

By Nicole Mangina | May 6, 2022

Did anyone else have a listing go past the offer review date lately? I know that there are some agents out there wondering, what do I do on day 7 when their listing hasn’t sold yet. If you are going through that right now, this post is for you. Communication is key. It’s fun when…

What If You Are Right Where You Need To Be?

By Nicole Mangina | April 29, 2022

We spend so much time worrying and beating ourselves up for not being further on the path. We think we should have sold more, saved more, or grown more. The list is endless Everyone has something that they feel behind on. The tricky part is – that’s life. No matter where you are, there is…

What If There Was An Easy Button? Would You Use It?

By Nicole Mangina | April 22, 2022

How are you doing? I mean REALLY doing? These last 2 years have been a doozy. After all the health scares, isolation – do we / don’t we, crazy real estate market, rising inflation and interest rates, it’s time for some honesty. I’ve talked to a lot of people that are worn out and feeling…

Miracles Happen When…

By Nicole Mangina | April 14, 2022

Miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears. Mic drop. I saw this on instagram this week, and it was exactly what I needed to see. It’s so easy to get caught up in worry, fear and concern (at least for me) that we…

Everyone Has A Brand, What’s Yours?

By Nicole Mangina | April 7, 2022

Branding is the shinny penny of business ownership. It’s beautiful, it makes us feel legitimate, and like we have arrived. It’s also one of the biggest obstacles to getting your business up and running. I’ve had so many conversations about this lately that I couldn’t resist a blog post. Your brand is: How you CONSISTENTLY…

Sometimes Gratitude IS The Answer

By Nicole Mangina | March 31, 2022

It’s been such an odd first quarter. I’ve been busy having lots of meetings, but not so busy with closings. My listings keep pushing out their dates, my buyers are trying to decide do we stay in the market or opt out? Have you ever had a time where it feels like you have a…

It’s Okay To Want The Business

By Nicole Mangina | March 24, 2022

I’m all for not getting attached to the outcome, but let’s face it – sometimes we really want the business. And that’s okay. I was in a mastermind last week and one of the agents was struggling with a listing appointment. The seller was blowing her off with “we need time to think things over…

Hug The Ones You Love, And Even The Ones You Don’t

By Nicole Mangina | March 17, 2022

Life tends to go in waves. For whatever reason loss seems to be the current wave. Friends passing away, relationships ending. It’s sad for sure, and a reminder that you never truly know where another person is at. Always, but now more than ever – it’s worth remembering that there is always more to the…

How Do You Cultivate Joy and Trust Long Term?

By Nicole Mangina | March 11, 2022

Thank you for the response to last weeks post about trust and things not being as expected. The entire trip was like that – I would sign up for a class or treatment thinking it was going to be one thing, and it ended up being something different, but better. It created a wonderful habit…

When Things Aren’t What You Expect – Sometimes They’re Better

By Nicole Mangina | March 3, 2022

I’m at Miraval spa in Tucson this week. If you’ve never been, it’s worth adding to your list. This is my happy place. Especially in March when it’s cold and rainy at home and a sunny 83 degrees here today. When we got here my friend asked what my intention was for the trip. I…
