In the last 3 days, I've done enough business to exceed my TOTAL goal for the year (assuming all goes well - I know, don't count my eggs before they hatch). That being said, I was in the office today and heard the "big guys" talking about an article they read in the paper quoting a new real esta

This year I've had the good fortune of my business picking up speed rather quickly. I don't feel that I've worked overly hard (I'm not working 80 hours a week - I'm making a concerted effort to work smarter, not longer). I'm happy about it, but I'm also having a hard time being happy about it.

Maybe I'm anal. (Ok, I know I am.) Maybe I'm obsessive. (Yep, I am that .) But it constantly amazes me at how little some agents do, yet seem to consistently get listings (which of course sit on the market forever because they aren't actively being marketed). Am I jealous? A little. But I k
