Beyond a Mentor: My Own Personal Yoda

Lynn Minnick

By Lynn Minnick

When I was first starting out in real estate, I was lucky enough to have an experienced agent take me under her wing. We were from entirely different generations, and had very different business styles, but regardless of our differences, the education I learned from her was invaluable and continues to shape the way I practice real estate today. Our relationship didn’t ...

Building Relationships: There Isn’t An App for That

Brooke Wolford

By Brooke Wolford

We have all gotten sucked into this world of technology. We do everything we can to stay on top of what’s new and hot and purchase the latest iAnything. Even I can’t help but admit that that I do like the “shiny” things in life. However, the other evening, I looked over at my 10-year-old son. My son has his own ...

Prescreening for Business: How to Handle a Customer Who Grills You

Jason O'Neil

By Jason O’Neil

Last week, I received an unusual call from a seller. As a REALTOR®, getting a call from a seller is not out of the ordinary. However, when this particular seller explains that he has developed a list of questions to use for a “prescreening” of potential REALTORS®, I really perk up. Despite what some may think, the approach did not come across ...

To That One Person, You’re Pineapple

Melissa Krchnak

By Melissa Krchnak

For everyone who laughs at a joke a comedian makes, there’s that one person that doesn’t get it. And yet the comedian doesn’t change his joke. For every person who appreciates you being on top of it with your follow-up, there’ll be that one person who thinks you’re too aggressive. Don’t stop your pursuit of success.

I heard someone on Oprah talking about ...

Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Dave Robison

By Dave Robison

Have you ever received a letter after a closing from the other brokerage thanking you for the successful closing?   Have you been bombarded by e-mails stating that XYZ Brokerage has the best broker and systems to help you be successful?  There are literally hundreds of brokerages to choose from, and yet I feel they  say the same thing: higher splits, best ...

‘Tis the Season…

‘Tis the Season…

To…Prep for Next Year. While I love to evaluate what I’ve done, I’m also ambitiously looking at 2013! I started planning for next year months ago and am putting the finishing touches on it these last few days of the year. I feel waiting until January to do business planning is missing the boat a bit. Am I the only one?

To…Be Grateful. ...

What You Give is What You Get

Anand Patel

Anand Patel

By Anand Patel

The word “role model” gets a lot of lip service. We live in a society that loves to point fingers at our teachers, musicians, athletes, and actors when our kids behave badly. Personally, I never deeply considered the importance of being a role model until recently.

As you may know, I reference my 3 1/2-year-old daughter every now and then in ...

It’s Time to Focus on Your B.U.T.

Jared James

By Jared James

We have come to that time of the year again, when you need to focus on your B.U.T. Not your butt – I am talking about your B.U.T., or Best Use of Time. It is amazing to me how many people will track their marketing dollars from the previous 12 months to see what actually worked and what didn’t, but won’t ...

A Crisis of Confidence

Jason O'Neil

By Jason O’Neil

I believe that we as a country, a world, and a species are suffering a crisis of confidence. I know, that’s a bold statement. But the magnitude in which our world has changed over the past 25 years is nothing short of overwhelming.

Confidence used to be something that was a part of our fiber, woven into everything we did. People not only ...

‘I Don’t Pay You to Think.’

Jason O'Neil

By Jason O’Neil

I blame FedEx, but there are many culprits contributing to the new mentality of instant access. Instant access has become normal. Companies and individuals provide instant access for a few simple reasons: 1.) They can; 2.) If they don’t, someone else will; 3.) Customers demand it.

So where does that leave us?

There’s an old cartoon of a man sitting at his desk and ...
