Monday Wake Up Call

Monday Wake Up Call: Your Motivation, Inspiration, & Direction for the Week Ahead

Happy Labor Day! I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. It’s fun to have that last summer fling! Of course, we also want to be observant of why we have this holiday. Labor Day celebrates the creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the achievements of American workers. It’s a tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country. That means we were celebrating your achievements this weekend too! Home ownership is a BIG part of the American dream, and you make that possible. Did you know that buying and selling a home is considered to be one of the top three stressful events in a person’s life? However, great agents make buying/selling a home less stressful and more joyful. A recent NAR Home Buyer/Home Seller Survey indicated that more than 80% of home buyers and sellers had a positive transaction and would recommend their agent and use him/her again when buying or selling another home. Congratulations, and keep up the great work! This week we celebrate YOU!   Something to Think About Not everyone has a great real estate transaction, but 78% of consumers indicated that they would use an agent recommended by a friend or family member. That’s terrific news for agents who are doing a great job and staying in touch with their clients. Statistics also show that 10% of the people in your database will do business with you or refer business to you each year if you stay in touch! If you have 400 people in your database, that’s 40 transactions per year!   Weekly Activity We are at the start of the fall market. It’s predicted to be a great season, so touch base with 10 of your clients each day to see who wants to buy or sell a home – or who knows someone who wants to buy or sell a home. Your efforts will definitely pay off!   Words of Wisdom “May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” – Nelson Mandela “We need to find the courage to say no to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.” – Barbara De Angelis “I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.” – Stephen Covey “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor Frankl
