Meet Grace

By Nicole Mangina | November 23, 2018

It’s the day after Thanksgiving, and whether you’re deep into Black Friday shopping, or at the gym working off that extra slice of pie, there’s no denying that this is a busy time of year. This year, I invite you to give yourself the gift of Grace. Perhaps in the GlassyBaby form, like the one…

It’s Okay To Take Time Off

By Nicole Mangina | November 15, 2018

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week? I love Thanksgiving weekend. It feels like the calm before the storm of a busy December. A weekend that is all about relaxing, connecting and eating. The perfect combo. It’s a great time to put your phone away, shut down the computer and take some time off.…

What Mastering Your Thoughts Really Looks Like

By Nicole Mangina | November 8, 2018

It’s empowering to know that we can change our lives with our thoughts. I believe this whole heartedly, yet living it can be something else entirely. The catch is that most of our thoughts are pre conditioned reactions that go unchecked and unfiltered. We can’t even really be sure if they are positive or negative.…

Setting Sellers Up For Success – In Any Market

By Nicole Mangina | November 1, 2018

Your success as a listing agent depends on your ability to keep your clients informed and engaged. How do you create a positive experience for your clients no matter what the sales price and market time are? It’s all about setting the right expectations in the beginning and having a follow through system to let…

Be Yourself Sounds Great For Others, But Will It Work For You?

By Nicole Mangina | October 25, 2018

It’s business planning season. October is the new January. The Fall and Holiday seasons offer lots of great opportunities to connect. Doing so with a little intention can help you eek out a few more sales in 2018, and set you up for a busy first half of 2019. With business planning comes working on…

Client Conversations in a Changing Market

By Nicole Mangina | October 19, 2018

There’s no denying it, the market is different right now. There is more inventory, homes are taking longer to sell, and we are seeing more price reductions. There is a feeling of everyone holding their breath, waiting to see how it all shakes out. My guess is that we won’t really know what is going…

Tap Tap – Is This Thing Still On?

By Nicole Mangina | October 12, 2018

That every other week blog post thing turned into a little longer than I thought. Sorry about that! This year’s real estate market has been one for the record books. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Back in April, things got super busy, and I did exactly what I tell everyone else not to…

Yep – I Started A Podcast

By Nicole Mangina | May 4, 2018

True confession time. I’m lame when it comes to my real estate marketing. Yes, I have a blog dedicated to helping you be a better agent, and I just admitted that I suck at one of the key elements of being an agent. Marketing. It hasn’t always been like that. I used to be amazing…

How You Say It Matters

By Nicole Mangina | April 19, 2018

I was teaching a class this week, and the topic off affirmations / self talk came up. Affirmations involve speaking about a goal as if it’s already happened. ie. “I have earned $250,000 in 2018“. Or better yet, “I am grateful to have earned $250,000 in 2018“. It’s the process of reprogramming your sub conscious…

The Magic of Showing Up

By Nicole Mangina | April 6, 2018

“80 percent of life is showing up” Woody Allen I had to remind myself of that this morning when the alarm went off, and I headed to the gym. Friday’s are my swim day, which is my favorite workout, but that doesn’t mean it’s any easier to get out of bed at 5am. True to…
