QUOTE: “Do you want to feel bad (or good), think about this – your best thinking has gotten you to where you are.” Andy Andrews. If you are unhappy about your place in live; if you don’t have the kind of money you would like; if you don’t have the kind of relationships you desire – it is a result of your “best thinking”; how scary is that? If you want to change your life, change the way you think about your life. Or as Dr. John Maxwell says, “Think – for a change!”

BEST ADVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED by Paul Pastore; very good article: http://www.brokeragentsocial.com/article/1192/the-best-advice-i-ever-got
BROKER BIT:
BUYER/SELLER RESPONSE: Still receiving transactions in paperless where there is NO Buyer response supposedly because the buyer is accepting the property “as is”. Please, there is a section on the Buyer/Seller Response where the buyer can check the box that the property is being purchased as is with no discrepancies. The buyer checks this section of the form and you still get the seller to acknowledge it. This confirms what is being “said” and provides YOU and your SELLER with proof that is the fact of the sale.
GREENSHEET: COOP Agent/Broker information IS needed yet most often is left incomplete on the Greensheet. PLEASE, Complete ALL sections of the Greensheet.
MLS SHEETS ON SALES: It is a rare occasion but it has happened, the ACTIVE MLS sheet you use to show a property gets changed AFTER submission of the Agreement to Purchase has been submitted. You MUST upload the ACTIVE version of the MLS on any Agreement to Purchase you submit if you want to protect yourself and your Customers.
MARKET CENTER TRAINING PROGRAM: The training calendar has been set for the months of May, June and July. During May and June, classes will be taught beginning at 9:00 am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The Keller Williams Story and Profit Sharing will be taught EVERY MONDAY AT 9:00. This is your chance to fully understand Keller Williams and the absolutely importance to your future that Profit Sharing may mean to you and your family. During the month of July, the same classes will be taught but at night beginning at 6:30 pm and will be taught on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The calendar is posted on the bulletin board in the hallway at the Market Center and has been posted on www.SlidellCalendar.com (or will be by Wednesday afternoon). On any scheduled class day that there is a conflict with another class being given in the Market Center or immediate area such as a CE course, the Market Center Class will NOT be taught.

A MAN WITH A PURPOSE by Jon Gordon. This is simply a great story. http://www.jongordon.com/newsletter-050211-man-with-a-purpose.htmlTHE SHIFTING LANDSCAPE OF REAL ESTATE: HOW TO POSITION YOURSELF TO SUCCEED: This is an article online at RISMEDIA. It is right on target but surprisingly as you read it, think about Keller Williams and the new eedge program available to you as it addresses a lot of what the article says you need to be doing. You can do it at Keller Williams for pennies as compared to the competition. http://rismedia.com/2011-04-27/the-shifting-landscape-of-real-estate-how-to-position-yourself-to-succeed/
