My first post for 2010. December 2009 was a great month to plan 2010. One of the areas I focused on was getting my web presence up to snuff. Active rain as you know is a great resource to obtain the al desired google juice. Today I would like to share how you can use Google calendar and google contacts and have it all sync with your mobile device. Here is a cool little video on how all that works, I hope you enjoy it.

Ok, I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy new year. 2010 will be the best year yet and we all deserve to make lots of money and help tons of people buy or sell their home. Keep a positive attitude and make a plan to be successful.

If I can ever help any of you out with anything, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am always available and I am never too busy for any of your referrals.

Stay safe, have fun and enjoy the last day of 2009!!

We only have three more days in 2009. What a year it has been. I hope all you had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you did not get everything you wanted. This way you can look forward to next Christmas.

My real estate business was slow the week prior to Christmas, but this week it has picked up a bit. I think people are starting to realize that the holidays are over and now they really need to start thinking about buying a new home or selling their existing home.

During the slow week, it gave me a chance to think ahead to 2010. How am I going to do business and what are my goals going to be. I took the opportunity to write my down my goals and really think how I am going to accomplish them. 2009 has been a year of learning, started and completed 100 days of greatness by Brian Buffini, became a CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) and tool lots of CE courses.

2010 is going to be focused more on increasing my business with everything I have learned in 2009. Are you ready for 2010? Do you have a plan? What are your business goals?

I was just thinking how fast 2009 has gone by. I can't believe 2010 is just around the corner. Let's see, what did I do in 2009. I joined the best REMAX office in the State of Utah, REMAX Integrity. REMAX Integrity opened its doors 1^st quarter of 2009. I was the 4^th agent to join, and have never looked back.

We are still fairly small, with only 15 agents we are committed to be the highest producing per agent office in the State of Utah. It's a big goal, however very attainable. We have a great broker who is always available and always willing to help us with anything we throw his way.

We all share our ideas, we all help and support each other when times get tough. Best of all, we are willing and committed to be the best office. All of our agents have gone through 100 days of greatness, over 50% of our agents are CDPE's and we have a good mix of seasoned agents and new agents.

See a few of our listings in the Salt Lake area here. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a very happy new Year!

Just a little planning goes a long way. Two weeks ago my brothers and sisters decided to have a sibling dinner at the Olive Garden here in Lehi, Utah. The Olive Garden is one of my Dad's favorite restaurants. I love eating at the place; they have some really good food.

Being the youngest one of the family, my assignment was to be there 30 minutes early and put our name on the waiting list. Prior to me going, I decide to write a personal note for our waiter to let him know how much I appreciated his service. I put a business card with the note and told him that if he ever needed help buying or selling a house to give me a call. I sealed the envelope and put it in my coat pocket ready to be delivered after we paid for our meal.

I arrived at the restaurant, put our name on the list and waited for everyone to arrive. We ate, chatted and had great service and just enjoyed everyone's company. Our waiter Ryan was great; he was quick and made our dinning evening very enjoyable.

Just before we asked for our check I took out my personal note and wrote Ryan's name on the envelope. I paid with my credit card and left Ryan my personal note along with my check.

I don't know if I will see Ryan again, but I do know that I planted a seed that may or may not become something in the future. It's better than doing nothing. Opportunities are all around us, we just need to open our eyes and take a chance every time we see one.
