Being a good guy

I believe being a good person is the most important thing you can do. A good person means to be honest, humble , helpful, strong, tough, and to never forget where you came from . I have met alot of great guys and women throughout my life and I have learned from them and tried to keep them close to me as I continue through my journey. I believe if your a good person good things will happen to you and if good things happen to you you can make a difference!!!!! People will definitely notice you and can get a feeling from you to tell what your about and what you stand for. In the real estate business I feel I already have a bad image just because of other agents. Agents that try to make a quick sale and dont really act in the best interests of their client. I am working with a man right now who is living in a place that looks like a scene from a movie where the world is ending.  He has a house on a lot where three oil companies ( I  dont want to get started on oil companies )  are buying all the properties and basically taking over the land. He told me about how there is crack heads that stay out in this area and how fires start in the field by his house from the oil company and its really hard for me to hear this. I have been fortunate my whole life and never dealt with any situation like this. The worst part is that this man has a 9 year old daughter. I have a new goal as of now and its to get this man out of this area as fast as I can !!!!!I will not try to make a quick sale for commission and I will try to change to view of a real estate agent one client at a time and most importantly ill try to be a good person.

geting started in Real Estate

I have learned alot already in real estate. I have made mistakes and I thought I would share them with you so that if you are getting started in real estate you could learn from my mistakes. First thing I learned is you got to watch out for people that are trying to use you. People that will get, get, get, and never give back . Be carefully when agreeing to do an open house for another agent in your office because its mainly done to satisfy the seller. You can get a sale from a buyer coming in, but those chances are small, I recommend just doing your own open house.  I would say dont  take an open house because your not busy thats not a good excuse. GO TO THE BEACH !! lol sorry to all thoses who dont live by the beach, I dont mean to rub it in.  I have also learned if you dont know something dont try and act like you do . Example a agent at my office asked me what how to spell cumma laude and I acted like I knew and wrote kuma late lol. The agent didnt know I was wrong but after I learned this I felt like an idiot. The last thing as of right now is that if you want to list a FSBO call the owner and ask them if you can take a look at their house. Then set up a meeting and afterwards leave them you card. Then a week later write them a letter and  theres a good possibility  they will decide to list their house with you. If not its still a good way to give someone your card and get your name out there. Thanks again for your time I hope this can help

The Life

The life we live is so amazing, yes theres alot to complain about but youve got to get past that and smile while you try to make your difference along the way. I think people take many things for granite and live life to fast. I do it myself but I try my best to catch myself and learn from my mistakes. I realize conditions are horrible in other places of the world and it truly depresses me. I want to make a difference hopefully I will be able to travel along my path of real estate and college for now and make a difference along the way. I will definitely try my best along the way. My real estate style as an agent is not to make a quick sale but to be a master of my profession and learn as much as I can. I am currently working at Papa Johns pizza also because its a steady pay check and also I like the people I work with. I hope in my blog I will be able to make people smile and feel better about life. This is my first blog and im going to try and do my best to make a difference thanks alot for taking time out of your day.
