I am so with Nancy Robinson Ranked #111 by Real Trends/Wall Street Journal on this one!  I do love the competition but, then the focus becomes nurturing and protecting, systems and results, details and the ultimate, dream-come-true grand finale.  

I love having someone to oversee the systems, allowing me to maintain the personal touch and to simultaneously continue with step one - the 'hunt' for more!

I like the search for the right property, that hunt, and learning what the client wants and narrowing it down.  It's really exciting to pull the rabbit out of the hat and present them with a listing they might otherwise not have considered, only to find it's the perfect one!
