It’s offer review day and you just submitted an offer for your buyers. Que Jeapordy music. The moment you hit send on the email and confirm receipt with the listing agent time seems to slow down as you wait for a response. At first the hope is that your clients get the house, but as…
Last week we talked about adding activities that make a positive difference. This week will help to make room for them. Adding good things is great, but it’s just as important to let go of what’s not working. It might be an action or activity that isn’t serving you right now, or a mindset. Notice…
We talk a lot about motivation – the inner drive to succeed. In theory, if you are motivated enough, motivation is all you need to achieve a goal. It sounds petty simple, but somewhere along the way motivation stops being enough. And that’s where things get sticky. My guess is that you set some sort…
I hope that you are crazy busy right now selling more homes than you ever have before. But on the off chance you’re not, this one’s for you. If you are like me, you track the market every day and are connected with lots of agents on social media. Some because you are friends, and…
Work – Life balance always feels like a topic worth revisiting this time of year. If you are buyer heavy right now, chances are things are a little nutty in your world. Sellers take a lot of prep time, but it’s time that can be pre scheduled and somewhat controlled. With buyers you are at…
It’s busy out there. One of the benefits of being busy is the ability to “stress test” your systems. It’s a perfect opportunity to recognize what’s working and fine tune what’s not.

You know that even though it’s a Seller’s market, properly prepared houses will get better offers and sell for more. So why are your clients terrified to work with you? Okay, that might be a little…
Every now and then something turns out to be so much more than you could have ever imagined. I felt that a few weeks ago when I interviewed Anastasia Allison, the founder of Kula Cloth on The 425 Show. Not only does she have a great product, pee cloths for when you are hiking in…
I heard this the other day and it was one of those “Now I get it” moments of awareness. A slight shift in perspective that felt obvious and new all at the same time. We see people who are great at what they do and forget that we are seeing the end result. The houses…
Valentines Day is Sunday so this weeks post is all about “loving on your clients” as the great Terri Johnson would say. All good relationships start with communication. It’s free, it makes a huge impact, and it’s often the one thing we forget to do. Or don’t do enough of. We get so busy working…
