I've heard the rumors.... I know the brokers of many brands are saying "she won't be here for long." Let me be the one to tell you, they're WRONG... I'm here and I'm STAYING! My office is growing at TWICE the pace expected in a good market, and while I feel the market is turning, I don't think anyone would dispute the fact that we are not in a good market yet, but nevertheless, my office is still growing at TWICE the pace expected in a GOOD market. While MANY offices in the area are CONSOLIDATING locations, LAYING OFF bookkeepers, CUTTING services, FIRING secretaries, and CLOSING locations, my office is GROWING. I have 23 phone lines waiting for you to use, 3,000 square feet of beautifully furnished prime office space for you to work at, a fabulous website that is getting 1,500 hits a month and climbing, a highly visible location with good walk-in traffic, internet ads to generate leads for you, full-time support staff to handle your needs and schedule your showings, state of the art equipment for you to use, T1 super fast internet, and all of the tools, training, leads, and brand recognition that RE/MAX offers. My budget is significantly lower than that of many other offices in the area, as I do not have the extra staff and other costs added during the boom, but I am providing ALL the tools and services my agents need... and then some. My budget has PLENTY of room to add even more tools and services as we grow and need them. That is the model that businesses that last are built on. I plan to be one of those businesses.

Let me tell you what I DON'T have, that many of your brokers DO.... I DON'T have an office manager's salary to pay because I am managing the office. That's good for you because I am here for you as a broker, manager, and owner. I DON'T have an office full real estate dabblers who haven't sold anything in years because I am only adding dedicated full-time agents to my team. That's good for you because you are surrounded by positive, professional, successful people who are encouraging, not depressing. I DON'T have a bookkeeper's salary to pay because I do the books and cut the checks myself. That is good for you because you get your check faster with less paperwork. I DON'T have multiple offices to distract me. That is good for you because all of my time, energy, and attention is focused on the location at which you work. I DON'T have set ways that are inflexible because my agents and I are building the office as we go. That is good for you because your input matters. I DON'T have rigid ideas because I am new and fresh. That is good for you because I am trying new things everyday, keeping what works and eliminating what does't instead of just sticking with the way things have always been done. I DON'T have an IT department to pay for and wait for because I handle the phone system, computers, and web site myself. That is good for you because if you need something changed or explained, I can do it right now instead of waiting for the IT guy to come by. I DON'T have expensive leases on computers, copiers, or furnishings because I own everything in the office out right. That's good for you because if it isn't right I don't have to wait for the lease to end to replace it. There are many other things I DON'T have that your broker does, but what I DON'T have benefits you in the end.

Let me tell you about what I DO have... I have an unstoppable drive. I joined RE/MAX when I first got my real estate license. I immediately told my broker that I only wanted to work sellers. He thought I was CRAZY and wouldn't be around for long. He was WRONG, just like your broker is! In my FIRST full calendar year in the business, I made OVER $100,000, and most of it was from representing sellers. I do not cut corner nor break the rules. Instead, I look better and more effective ways to do things and combine that with lots of hard work.

One of my agents came into the office the other day and said, "Jen, you know how you have all those motivational sayings?  Well, I've got a new one for you...When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."  Now, I love that one!  That can be applied to so many areas of life and that is what I am always trying to communicate to people.  It is a combination of the glass half full vs. half empty and "If you can see it, you can achieve it."  The people who know me know that I live and speak all of these sayings daily.  In my new position as a Broker/Owner of a RE/MAX office in a highly competitive market, I try to lead by example.  It is not what happens to you during the course of a day that matters, it is how you deal with and react to what happens that matters.  Life is about choices.  I chose to divert the money that would pay for a cleaning service at the office into providing realtor.com enhanced listing packages for all of my agents for free, so when it's time for me to clean the toilets I don't mope about.  It's all in the way you look at things.  I could look at the cleaning as something I won't do, or I can look at it as something I will gladly do to free up funds for something else I value more.  It's all in your attitude.  When a prospect says "no,"  you can mope about it, or you can realize it means you are 1 prospect closer to the one that says "yes."  It is always your choice which way to go.  If you stop and think about all of the happy people you know and all of the successful people you know, what do they have in common?  They all see the glass as half full.  They accept, adapt, improvise, and overcome.

I am very blessed to be surrounded by optimistic, inspiring, and encouraging people, so I think it is easier for me to be that way.  I try to fill my surroundings with these positive influences.  There are motivational prints and sayings throughout my office.  Everyone who has joined my office is of the same philosophy.  We feel good when others feel good.  It's silly and simple, but it makes it a pleasure to come to the office.  It bothers me when my agents tell me stories about interactions with depressed or nasty agents in other offices because I know those are just un-nurtured people.  I want to go and drag those agents into our office so we can heal them with positivity... if that's a word, but you get my gist.  If you are not lucky enough to be surrounded by positive, encouraging surroundings to nurture your spirit, please take the time to nurture yourself.  Get a copy of Charles Swindoll's "Attitude" and read it to yourself.  Remember the "Serenity Prayer."  Find your own motivational sayings or borrow one of ours.  My favorite is, "If it is to be, it is up to me!"  Whatever it takes to get a handle on the world around you, do it.  Life is too short to live miserable.  There is always something positive out there if you just learn to look for it.  Ironically, when your attitude changes, so do the things in your life...."When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
