I just sent out a postcard to my clients this last week and was literally amazed at the results. Not only did I get some great new business calls out of it, but some of the feedback showed me just how mis informed much of the public is regarding today’s market. My last 3 listings…
“Whatever you’re thinking about is literally like planning a future event. When you’re worrying, you are planning. When you’re appreciating you are planning…What are you planning?” ~Abraham, www.abraham-hicks.com
I gave up watching TV a while ago for myself and I must admit that I love it. I’ll watch a movie every now and then, but sitting down and watching a show with all of the commercials just makes me cranky. Not to mention the fact that I can totally get sucked into some…
And then you remember how some of your clients feel when they are buying and selling real estate. A girlfriend of mine talked me into taking a Zumba class this summer.

Do you view them as friends or just the competition? I am starting to think that we don’t spend nearly enough time building relationships with other agents…
