About Washington County, UT

Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to playing cards a few times a week.

One day when playing cards, one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me. I know we've been friends a long time, but I just can't think of your name. I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me your name."

Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared.

Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"

A good friendship is based on TRUST and a willingness to SHARE yourself with others. Here are some traits of being a good friend:

• Honesty
• Reliability
• Availability
• A Good Listener
• Positivity
• Being Yourself
• Caring

A true friendship is reciprocal and has the ability to last over decades and into our older years. These are friends you know are there for celebrations of life and to back you up during times of grief and trust that you will do the same.

A good working relationship is based on TRUST and a willingness to SHARE yourself with others. Here are some qualities of being a good real estate agent:

• Honesty
• Reliability
• Availability
• A Good Listener
• Positivity
• Being Yourself
• Caring

If you look at the list, you will see these are the same qualities that homebuyers / sellers look for when they search out a REALTOR® to be of service to them. Interesting, isn't it how the lists are the same but could apply to both friendship and working relationships? Some of your buyers / sellers will become clients for life because of your abilities and qualities and because they TRUST you.

(This picture was taken yesterday when Hiway, our cat, decided she wanted to meet Bronco, our black lab/golden retreiver mix and 'make friends!') yikes!

Are there days or weeks when you feel your life is similar to a busy bee?

Always on the move, flitting from place to place in a frenzy to get as much done as possible so that all your efforts seem to fade into the blur of day-to-day, week-to-week monotony?!

Working long hours without rest or relaxation results in exhaustion and opens the door to costly mistakes professionally while negatively impacting your personal life.

Remember to stop and smell the flowers... bees do it...and don't you deserve it?!
