I’m reminded daily that real estate is not for the faint of heart.
Every year, every sales season (even the “easy” ones, whatever that means) brings its own set of challenges.

Not only is the grass greener where you water it,
It’s greenest where you fertilize it, w**d it, and mow it.
Meaning:
To stay relevant, you must stay educated.
You must stay networked.
You must stay focused.
You must have structure.
You must know how to “hunt” and “fish” on your own, and not rely on 3rd party referral services that slice away 30% or more of your income and are “one & done” customers.

If you’re in real estate, ask yourself every week and every month:
1. Who did I intentionally talk to?
2. Who am I accountable to?
3. Did I daydream or did I perform?
4. Did I spend time on busywork or concrete results?
5. Did I consistently take action?
6. Did I make an investment in my growth?
7. Did I network?
8. Am I coachable?
9. Did I contribute to the culture in my workplace?

I’m sure I missed some key elements-
What would you add (or subtract)?
And if you’re a Realtor looking for a supportive brokerage, give me a call.

What Most Veterans Don't Know About Their VA Home Loan Benefit

VA home loans can put homeownership within reach, and a trusted lender can help make sure you understand the details before you move forward. If you’re active duty, you’ve served, or know someone who has, connect with a trusted lender who can walk you through whether you’d qualify and what the VA benefit offers. You may be able to buy a home sooner than you thought.

Nearly half of Veterans (49%) feel homeownership is currently out of reach, according to a recent survey from NewDay USA.
