Online Newsletter For The Week Ending August 13

QUOTE: "If you're stupid and know you're stupid . . . you're not stupid. If you're stupid and don't know you're stupid . . . you're really STUPID!!"  Bill Manion - Gentilly Philosopher via a Mickles Pickles Facebook page.

YOUR REAL ESTATE COMMISSION ASSIGNED EMAIL ADDRESS. The Louisiana Real Estate Commission has established an email address that you can use but more importantly the Commission when it sends out any critical information they will send it to your Real Estate Commission Email address. Your license is sent to this address. Everyone in the Market Center, if you have not already done this, should access the Commission web site at: http://www.lrec.state.la.us/. Look at the choices on the upper right corner of the home page and select LOCATE USER ID/PASSWORD. Under INDIVIDUALS, use the down arrow in the first box and select either BROK or SALE for Broker or Salesperson license. In the second box enter ONLY the digits on your license, DO NOT ENTER .A which stands for ACTIVE. In the third box use the drop down arrow and select ACT for ACTIVE. This is important, enter your Zip Code which will most probably be your home mailing address zip code. If it is different you will be advised when you then select SUBMIT. If all your info is correct, you will be directed to a page that includes your Commission generated email address AND your Password. Return to the Commission home page and this time select MY LREC EMAIL. Enter the first part of your Commission Email address and then enter your password and you will be taken to your email program. Check your INBOX for any emails on file. If you do not want to check this program forward your Commission Email address to your commonly used email address. To do this look on the left side of the screen and select OPTIONS. Then select AUTO FORWARD. Enter the email address(s) you want the Commission’s emails to be forwarded to and then select SAVE. Bingo, you are in business.

EVERY SMALL ACT: Question for you: How can you NOT make a difference in the Market Center? Sales are always good but that is not what this is about. Another company can copy all the great attributes of Keller Williams Realty International and more specifically Keller Williams Realty Professionals. What they cannot reproduce or copy is the company culture, it’s Mission, it’s Vision, it’s Values and these all start with each small act we do within the Market Center. It also starts with making every person, no exception, every person who comes through our doors to FEEL IMPORTANT. That includes customers, vendors, competitors and especially our own team of agents and employees. Imagine that everyone has a MMFI tattooed on their forehead, MAKE-ME-FEEL-IMPORTANT! It starts with knowing what the Mission, Vision and Value Statements are and living those statements. It starts with helping each other. It starts with picking up a piece of trash that didn’t make it to the trash can. It starts both within the heart and within the mind. Ask the DDQ question, “Is what I am about to do consistent with the Market Center’s Mission, Vision and Values statements?” If YES, say or do it; if NO, don’t!

TRAVELING? Here is one more reason to set up a web based email such as http://www.gmail.com./ Besides being FREE, and free is good, you can set up folders where you can save your most important emails and remove them from your inbox. More importantly you can easily check your emails from any computer in the world that has access to the Internet. But this is where it gets really important. Let’s say you have some documents that would benefit you IF you had need of them when on the road. You can send an email to yourself with the document as an attachment. Then when you check your emails you can save that email and attached document to the appropriate folder. When you travel and you find that you need the information on the document or the document itself, you have it in a folder on your Internet Email account. During evacuations this is extremely important for things like insurance documents (you can scan them and then save them), rosters, etc.
