Confucius Must Have Been a REALTOR®!
The Chinese thinker and social philosopher Confucius once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
Confucius must have been a REALTOR®, because that’s exactly how I feel, especially on a day like today. I’m in Chicago (starting last night thru Noon today) meeting with a group of top producing Realtors from across the country in town for a networking event.
I’ll tell you, as much as I live to help my customers buy and sell homes, I also enjoy connecting with other successful Realtors. There’s so much to learn and share with one another that I could literally spend all day every day doing exactly this… talking about the benefits of Blogging; discussing the rules of engagement for dealing with real estate and mortgage fraud; learning about other people’s successes when it comes to branding, marketing, and salesmanship, especially in a downwardly trending market; and covering strategy for helping ‘flippers’ (the good kind, not the four-letter kind).
Already I’ve had a chance to interact with:
- Jean Shine of The Shine Team (Harker Heights, Texas)
- Chip Neumann of Neumann Real Estate (Ridgefield, Connecticut)
- AJ Fischer of Aadvisor Realty (Naples, Florida) www.ajfischerteam.com
- Ivan Sher of The Shapiro/Sher Group (Las Vegas, Nevada)
- Bill Ryan of The Ryan Team (Chandler, Arizona)
- Char MacCallum of Char MacCallum Real Estate (Olathe, Kansas)
- Anita Padilla-Fitzgerald of MegaStar Financial Corp. (Denver, Colorado)
The eight of us had a great dinner last night at Gibson’s Steakhouse, and I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with everyone later this morning.
