Words from Rita: It’s Summer in Texas and Sales are High

Champions

Hello Champion Super Stars! If you are busy right now with business, sit down, buckle up as our Texas summer is going to be extremely robust! Sales are at all time record highs for days on market. Keep in mind when discussing with clients the short time on market is only if the seller listens to what you explain per the CMA. Buyers need to be pre-approved prior to looking at homes so their offer is ahead of other offers. Be sure to have buyers use the mandatory State form through their preferred NMLS professional. This great market is scheduled to continue for quite awhile so take a CNE or ABR or ALHS course and gain additional knowledge about your clients needs and expectations. Take our Champions MCE course and…

Words from Rita: He who holds the listings, rules!

Career, Champions, Real Estate

The summer is now arriving and along with the warmer weather there will be hotter sales! Historically, the late spring and early summer are robust months for agents. Right now the best time spent during your work day is to prospect for listings. Years back there was a saying, “he who holds the listings, rules” and in this new market, that saying is certainly true.

When filling out a listing or sales contract, be sure the spelling is accurate and all blanks are filled in.

Use Education to Boost Your Career

Career, Motivation

Your career is defined by you and your vision of success. When you think about your success and your future successes, first list your current “aha moments”. What are the specifics you are most proud of? Always keep in mind you have successes in your personal world as well as your public or business world. Often our personal successes with family, children, and friends help us overcome a disappointing business situation. Without question, when baby starts walking, talking and mom and dad gets to bask in the joy of that moment all other negativities are gone. When your teen wins a sports tournament, or your child makes cheerleading, or college entrance, all other daily woes from business are temporarily taken away from your brain. These daily personal successes should get…

Plus One

Business, Champions, Motivation

If you work just for money, you’ll never get rich but if you love what you are doing and you are consistently looking for new business, while remembering the customer is always first, success and personal satisfaction will be yours.

How you and I handle stress is the key to success and personal satisfaction. Culture tells us about our success. The more you do the more you are worth. People who are more productive are worth more. Perhaps this is why teachers, maintenance persons are not paid more as they are perceived to be not as…
