I have friends who have been awarded for their contribution in our community. I sincerely praised them and added a clipping of the article on the newspaper. I have received tremendous response from them and felt closer to them than before. I don't use the situation to promote my profession. I feel that doing so will take away the sincere appreciation of what they did.

 Good morning. People will do more for recognition than they will for pay.

Holleay - I try to praise others all the time, and give other people all the credit I can. I never go around telling people what I did, or how great I am. That is just not me.

I  make it a habit to post one or more re-blogs each day. I hope every one of them is accepted as a small measure of praise for the member.

my team members deserve praise every day....they each go above and beyond in whatever the task may be....some other agents, not so much!!! they could be praised for 'showing up" I suppose!!

Good point Holleay Parcker, I praise you for bringing this up!  After each successful transaction, if I feel the other agent did a "Good Job" (the bar is very low on this topic) I send them a thank you letter, even take the time to have my broker sign it and we send it in recognition of their service.   Praise needs to be earned and for those that do, I give.

The first one that I praise, each day is my wife for making a difference in my life and my children on a regular basis.

Make it a great weekend!

You're absolutely right. I just thanked and praised a buyer's agent of a listing. My side has been very difficult and the buyer's side did everything possible to make life easier.

My broker is a pretty amazing real estate professional. He's highly respected for the way he does business and his good business head. I do praise him, and I have recently. He's helping me through a an extremely difficult transaction right now. Sometimes I also tease the heck out him, too.

Hi Holleay - I try to recognize people each day for a job well-done and I did it yesterday too.   I thanked someone for returning my phone call.  While some might say that's a part of our job -- it's amazing that it doesn't happen each time.
