It’s easy to confuse “being the expert” with “having all of the answers”. Yesterday I taught a class on working with Buyers to mostly new agents. Something that always comes up is: What is your value proposition when you are new? It’s a fair question, but one that we give far too much weight to.…
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, months really. With everything that is going on, I took some time off from blogging to process it all. I don’t know about you, but it seems like each time I wrap my head around one series of events, something new happens. It’s nuts out there. Thank goodness…
This has come up twice in the last few weeks so it feels like it’s worth revisiting. We all have those moments: Maybe you’ve been super slow and are feeling like you would take any client that comes your way, just so that you can have something to do, and hopefully make some money. Or…
One of the blessings from all of this is space. As our schedules lightened up, it provided the space to be present in daily life, and the option to do things differently. We are often busy going through the motions of life to “just get it done”. There isn’t an opportunity for the awareness of…
When they closed gyms back in March I panicked and ordered a Peloton. I’ve wanted one for a while, and this was the nudge I needed. There are lots of things I love about the bike – the classes, how easy it is to get in a great workout, and the tracking. If there was…

I’ve been thinking about this lot lately. I mentioned it in last week’s post too, but this is feeling a lot like 2008. Meaning sales are still happening, but not as many. My personal thought is that we need to be prepared for 4-6 months of minimal income. Even if the stay in place order…
With the stay in place order extended to May 4th and a shift in how we are supposed to conduct real estate, things are definitely different. Your typical market strategy for April and May may not work right now. How do you shift gears with our new (hopefully temporary) normal? Here’s some puzzle wisdom that…
With the shelter in place order that came out this week, chances are you’ve got some extra time in your schedule. It’s a perfect time to work on your business, since we can’t really work in it right now. The “Disney experience” is legendary and serves as a model for many businesses. When we were…
This has been our first full week of everyone at home and it’s been an interesting one. 2 factors seem to be in play. The first is feeling disconnected to the rest of the world. The second is that all of our structure evaporated overnight. The being at home part is actually going great. Yes,…
