Do I use a friend/family as an agent?

I was on on the phone the other day with a friend and he said he was thinking of buying a house, but I am not sure which agent to use. I have a close friend that is an agent, but I do not think I want to use them.

I asked Why?

He then raised several concerns:

• It could cause a strain in our relationship
• Afraid to raise concerns
• They may not work as hard
• Insult intelligence?
• If not happy with performance, still obligated to stay based on friendship

Game on!

Have you noticed it? the vibe! The Feeling of excitement, I have! It is awesome... In my personal opinion there is a feeling in our local marketplace that we have not seen over 4-5 years.

Agents in most of my market centers are back doing the basic tasks that helped them attain success before the market took a dive in 2007.

Most Importantly, the real estate industry is a full contact sport! Many today are using technology as a tool to hide behind, instead of leveraing its value to make every contact a better one.

How are you Gauging a Successful day?

Do you find that you hide behind technology or use it to bolster your efforts?

And if you think people are still search for you in a phone book, you are wrong...

GOOGLE YOURSELF!

Know your numbers, set your goals, and attain them..

More importantly, surround yourself with people who will help make sure you get there. ACCOUNTABILITY IS EVERYTHING!

Yesterday my daughter was admitted to have surgery for a broken arm she had gotten while practicing for a Cheerleading Competition. She has been a trooper and in some ways stronger than I thought possible.

There is no greater hurt than a parent seeing their child hurt, BUT, THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE, than a parent and child..

The doctors took her in and reset her arm, and placed 2 pins in her elbow. The picture below was taken just before surgery, and after some of the meds kicked in. It was an emotional and scary day for her, and for her mom and I.

I must say that I feel blessed to have not only my family, but my Real Estate Family's overwhelming support and prayers for my daughter... I cannot say thank you enough for the outpouring of love that my family received..

After Surgery.. Recovering in her room..

IE Real Estate Community...

Thank You! This is why I love the industry I work in... WE ARE FAMILY!

God Bless,
