My life as a Realtor

I just sent out a massive mail and email campaign. I have 1200 leads to follow up on. I will have my first buyers agent tomorrow. She will help A LOT! She will be following up for me on most of my leads. I will have her door knocking and calling. She will be a huge benefit to my team.

We have 2 closings today. They will happen at 4:30 today. This one has been a learning experience. It should be done today.

For those who have been keeping count the total will be $617,500.00 for the year. We should have another closing before the 10th. I will keep you posted.

Here is a story I came across for your enjoyment!

More Later!
What Will You Be Doing 7 Years From Now?

I graduated from Brazosport High School in Freeport, Texas in May 1972. Not dressed
in white (honors), but I graduated.

That summer like the previous summer, I worked as a longshoreman loading corn, flour
and corn sacks weighing 50 to 140 lbs. and 900 lbs. caustic soda drums on freight
ships bound to other countries at nearby Brazos Harbor and Dow Chemical A2 Dock.

This was one of the better paying jobs in the area. It was grueling, hard, heavy
work, but I loved it at the time. My father had been doing this job most of his life
since it paid well.

Fall came around and I had already decided that I did not want to make my living as
a longshoreman. Work was inconsistent and when it was there it only went to the ones
with the most seniority, unless there was too much. There was very little
opportunity for a better job when you got older.

I had always heard that a college education would get you a better job and decided
to find out. So I went to nearby Brazosport College and set up an appointment with a
counselor.

I got to his office at the appointed time and he asked me what work or profession
interested me the most. I had taken Auto Mechanics I & II during my junior and
senior years in high school and asked him if Brazosport College had an auto
mechanics program.

He said "no." I asked him if they had anything similar to it. He said that the
Machine Tools Technology program was very similar and described the program to me.

I was very interested and asked him how long it would take if I went full time. He
said "4 years." I said I couldn't go full time since I am working (whenever work was
available).

I asked how long would it take if I go part time? He said "7 years." I was shocked.
I said, "Man, I'll be old then, I'll be 25 years old. I don't thing so."

He asked me, "what did you say you did for a living right now?"

I told him again that I worked as a longshoreman throwing bags and manhandling
drums. Then he bent over his desk and looked me square in the eye and asked me the
most significant words I will never forget in my life:

"IF YOU DON'T TAKE ANY CLASSES. WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING 7 YEARS FROM NOW?"

These words hit me like a ton of bricks! I sheepishly told him that I would be doing
the same thing. I signed up for the classes right then and there.

These prophetic words have inspired many of my relatives and friends. The sun will
rise and fall 365 days a year. What you choose to do in between will determine many
things in your life.

This story alone has inspired relatives and friends to realize an age-old truth:
Time will go on regardless and it waits on nobody.

Years later, I told a co-worker this story. He got inspired enough that he went on
and got 3 different degrees in computers in less than 7 years! He said afterwards,
"7 years ago I would've been saying to myself, 'If only I had the opportunity.'"

TIME WILL PASS REGARDLESS!

Here is something I received from Keller Williams International

It’s time to get potential home-owners to go ahead and buy in this so-called “buyers' market”. While today’s market plays to their advantage, buyers, who should be swooping in to make the most of reduced housing costs and favorable interest rates, are sitting by, waiting. When the market turns, today’s bargains will be yesterday’s missed opportunities.

This is Real! Let me know If I can help anyone you know out!
