With all of the talk about goal setting, upping your game, being your best self, etc it’s important to remember to be kind to yourself. Nothing good comes out of beating yourself up for what you should or could have done, or blaming others for things. Know that we all have wins and loses. Things…
Wow! How about those Seahawks? Football fan or not, Monday’s game against the 49’ers was one for the record books. Talk about excitement – to win in the last second of overtime is amazing. There were some great takeaways from that game. The biggest one of which is – sometimes you need ALL of the…
This post goes against pretty much every business plan ever written. You know the ones – the first 5 pages are spent disecting the current year, and from there you are supposed to spend the next 5-10 pages mapping out the next year? Have you ever actually filled out those first 5 pages? I mean…
Welcome to November – it’s officially the holiday season. Events start popping up on the calendar, and the window of opportunity for selling homes in 2019 starts closing.

I’ve been guilty of this lately. My normal MO is to decide I want something, and then take action. In many cases, the creating is half the fun. It’s always interesting to see the magical way things come together. But lately I’ve been putting off taking action while I wait to see what the market…
Let’s be honest, if we wanted to answer to someone on a regular basis and constantly be told what to do, we wouldn’t be in real estate. Regular accountability – someone telling us what to do and consequences for when we don’t. Who wants that? It’s the blessing and the curse of running your own…
Even with a referral based business, potential clients interview multiple agents about 50% of the time. I recently competed for a listing and then for a buyer. In both cases it was interesting to notice my thoughts and emotions as I went through the process. Usually competing doesn’t phase me, but I found doubt starting…
