THIS WEEK’S THOUGHT: You should work as hard on your profit tree as you do on your listings and sales. Listing and selling are “today” issues, your profit sharing is a “tomorrow” issue where you reap the benefits long past your listing and selling days. “You know I like the way you handled that sale. Would you mind if I have my Team Leader give you a call?” Or, “I like the way you handle yourself, have you ever thought about a real estate career?” It really is that simple!
MARKET NAVIGATOR BOOK ORDER. I am disappointed that not many people signed up to purchase their own copy of Keller Williams Market Navigator for 2011. If Real Estate is your business, the “numbers” of real estate is the fuel for that business. The information contained in the latest version of Market Navigator should significantly enhance your business if used. If you want to stand out from the competition, you need to know what the real estate business is doing, its trends, its averages and how your business stacks up to the business as a whole. I have delayed purchasing the books until Friday 13 in case you want to sign up, at least let’s hope so. Sign up sheet is in the Resource Room.
CE JUST GOT A LITTLE EASIER. Keller Williams Realty International is now offering CE for all 50 states. There is a cost but the cost is very reasonable. Check it out for yourself at: http://kwu.theceshop.com/

ARE YOU THE LEADER OR JUST THE BOSS? Another GREAT article by Jeffrey Gitomer. Remember, being a leader is not about having a title. We each are leaders in our own ways. So, are you a leader or just the boss? http://www.gitomer.com/articles/ViewPublicArticle.html?key=ajcdMibak3PMNEaUN%2F0foA%3D%3D

ALC MEETING MOVED TO THURSDAY MAY 19TH to avoid conflicting with CE class scheduled for this Thursday.
NEW OR REVISED FORMS: I have uploaded several forms to www.SlidellCalendar.com and placed them in the binders in the resource room. Here is a summary of the changes:
RENTAL LISTING AGREEMENT: Created a new form to be very similar to the Listing Agreement for Residential For Sale Properties. Please dispose of all previous editions.
BUYER RESPONSE FORM: Three is a RE Commission form and a NOMAR Standard Form that is available on Formulator. The Formulator format has been uploaded to www.SlidellCalendar.com and also inserted in the binders. The difference is that the Formulator format is one legal size page instead of two and more importantly, it contains the ability for the buyer to accept the property “as is” and then for the seller to acknowledge it.
LICENSED AGENTS SELLING PERSONAL PROPERTY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. This form is important on two fronts. First if a licensed agent LISTS a personally owned property where the agent owns 25% or more, their E&O Insurance will NOT cover them. Secondly, it is impossible to be a Dual Agent on property owned by the agent or the immediate family. This form is a an acknowledgement of those principles.
