HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Happy Friday to all!
This picture is another one from our recent snow, ice and wind storm. It really was something to see. And since then we've had more winds, rain, and I am happy to say some SUNNY and unseasonably warm days. In a two week period we went from winter to spring. However, today... it is feeling like we are back to winter.
I hope you are having a beautiful day. Enjoy this weeks selection of quotes and I'll be back next Friday with some new ones.

Happy Friday to all!
What a difference two weeks can make. This picture was taken at my house just two weeks ago... I had trees raining down upon my head, we were bathed in ice and snow and we had no power. Now, just two weeks later, it is suppose to be sunny and in the 50's. From winter to spring, almost over night!
I hope you are having a good day, I hope you enjoy this picture from our winter weather, and I hope you enjoy the quotes. See ya next Friday!!

MY FRIDAY STORY
Keep On, Keeping On
Author Unknown
Colonel Sanders went to more than 1,000 places trying to sell his chicken recipe before he found an interested buyer. The fact that we can buy Kentucky Fried Chicken today attests to his perseverance. Thomas Edison tried almost 10,000 times before he succeeded in creating the electric light. If he had given up, you would be reading this in the dark!
The original business plan for what was to become Federal Express was given a failing grade on Fred Smith¹s college exam. And, in the early days, their employees would cash their paychecks at retail stores, rather than banks. This meant it would take longer for the money to clear, thereby giving Fed Ex more time to cover their payroll.
Sylvester Stallone had been turned down a thousand times by agents and was down to his last $600 before he found a company that would produce Rocky. The rest is history! To truly succeed requires a total commitment to your goal. Too many people make the mistake of quitting just short of success. Keep going no matter what. If you really believe in what you are doing, give it all you've got and don't give up.
You will succeed. There is no such thing as failure. Every action produces an outcome. It may not always be the outcome you are looking for, but it is an outcome nonetheless. If you monitor the results of your actions and keep correcting what is not working, you will eventually produce the outcome you are looking for.
Be Persistent . As was said aboutPresidentCalvin Coolidge: “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with great talent. Genius will not. Un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
Don’t quit before the miracle happens!

My Business Style
Being a Real Estate Professional is my full time career, it is my passion. I dedicate myself to listening to my clients, understanding their needs, and providing them with the personal service that they expect and deserve. I am high-energy yet patient, conscientious, detail-oriented and genuinely concerned about my clients; always striving to earn their trust and loyalty. I believe in honesty and hard work, setting high standards and always striving for excellence. My goal is to be my clients trusted advisor, providing them with service that is above and beyond their expectations and in the end build a lasting relationship that will result in being their life-long Real Estate Agent.
Referrals
When I became a realtor, I knew of the traditional ways to acquire clients: cold calling, door knocking, holding open houses, manning the phones at the office, etc., but I wanted something more. I didn't want my job to be searching for people I could "talk" into buying a house. So I have built and continue to build my business off referrals. I dedicate my time and energy to my current clients and I find that by working off referrals from present and past clients my time can be used working with and for those clients instead of being out of the office soliciting business. The biggest compliment comes when my clients or other agents trust me enough to refer their family and friends.
Why me?
There are many Realtors, so why work with me? One, I value my clients trust and I promise to work for them as if I was working for myself. I am reliable, personable, easy to talk to and genuinely love to help others. Secondly, because owning my own home has been one of the greatest joys of my life and I want to share that with others. And lastly, beyond my expertise as a realtor, my own life experiences help me to understand what my clients are feeling. I have been that nervous, anxious, scared first time home buyer, have had a house built, and have purchased that "fixer-upper". I have had the excitement of having our house sell the first day the sign went up in the yard, as well as the stress of having a home on the market for over a year. I have bought and sold in the same area, and have relocated across the country. Whatever my clients need - my personal commitment to them is that I will be aware of their emotions and desires and will do everything I can to make sure they have a successful real estate experience. I want to be not just their realtor, but their guide and mentor as they implement their lifetime plan for real estate ownership.
