*There is always someone in a weaker market making less money than us. There is someone in a stronger market making more than us. Stay in the business and make your business market proof!
*Realtors in Michigan opened escrow for $700, $600 homes. The average sales price in Michigan is $2,000. Yet the market center there is profitable. Average home price in Las Vegas $125,000. Are we as Agents profitable in our businesses?
*Are we reaching out and changing what people think about real estate? Opportunity is never lost it's just passed onto someone else.
*Massive success comes from those who are uncomfortable in doing what we do. Massive success comes from massive action.
*Our goal is simple - be a better Realtor today than yesterday.
*Do we always make our listing/buying appointments? Why we do think it's alright to break our lead gen appointments with ourselves?
*90 days of consistent lead generation and focus on 3 areas of business.
*300 Mets in our database and earn $1,000,000 GCI. Goal is to net 120 names each year!

Fall Maintenance Reminders:
As Fall approaches you can take a few key steps to ensure your home serves you well through the coming months. Please take to check these items in and around your home and attend to any that need maintenance.
Clean and test smoke alarms. Test and reset ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) breakers. Change and clean the air filters every 30 to 90 days. Caulk and paint minor drywall cracks. Operate the heating system. Adjust registers and confirm that cold air returns are clear of furniture or draperies. Adjust or replace weather stripping on exterior doors; as needed. Check the fit of exterior doors; thresholds are adjustable. Check caulking, inside (sink, tub & shower) and out, and touch up. Review safe fireplace operation. Check garage overhead door, tighten bolts as needed, and lubricate springs with motor oil. Have other repairs done by professionals. Winterize PBV valve in case of below freezing weather. Remove and clean the screens in all faucets. Clean gutters, check downspouts; confirm that splash blocks drain away from house. Check foundation, concrete and yard for settling; fill in as needed for positive drainage. On pleasant days, open windows to allow house to breathe. Decorate safely for the holidays. Do not overload circuits or use worn extension cords.
Other Maintenance Reminders:
Every month run water in unused bathroom sinks so the P-traps do not dry out. Every six months check under all sinks for possible leaks. Pay special attention to hand sprayers; they can potentially loosen as a result of use. They should be hand tightened. Reminder, assure Atrium brand windows are always completely closed before attempting to lock. Always maintain interior temperatures at 75/winter and 85 summer/ whether the home is occupied or not, this will help to avoid excessive drywall cracking.
Today is Friday but to many Realtors in Las Vegas valley it's just another day. I have a huge appreciation of the Real Estate profession and anyone who is successful in the business. It is not what most people think an easy job to earn a commission check. After spending 30 to 40 hours with a client which is a month worth of someone's time in a different profession we receive a commission check averaging $3,000. This is before paying out taxes, social security, expenses, training, medical insurance, dental, vision, etc. After I spent 10 years in Corporate America working for large companys such as Citibank, AT&T, Deutsche Bank, Prudential Financial, I realized Real Estate Professionals work more hours each week than the hours I put in every week. 50 hours is the average work week of a Corporate Professional. 60-70 hours is the average work week of a Real Estate Professional with more expenses to pay out before earning a commission. I love what I do in Las Vegas Real Estate market. I enjoy working with clients who respect our profession and not waste our time. We are not like used car salesprson. We are not available to show houses anytime 24/7. We are not uneducated...many of us have a Masters Degree.
Real Estate Professional with MBA in Business Management, BS in Industrial Engineering. I work with first time home buyers and first time investors to begin building wealth for you and your family.
