Interesting question?  Many people find themselves in situations where they really don’t feel comfortable.  If you find yourself in that type of environment, it is time to examine your goals and see what direction you need to take.  Do you….

  • feel stifled in your current position;
  • feel unappreciated;
  • feel like you have lost control of your destiny;
  • feel that you aren’t reaching your potential;
  • need to be re-energized?

If you find yourself answering “yes” to one or more of these, then maybe a career in real estate is for you.  As a real estate agent, you have the potential to go anywhere you desire, and I’m not talking about which real estate company but rather the “sky’s the limit” for your personal potential.  A career in real estate gives you the opportunity to develop your business to the level that gives you the financial freedom you need to support yourself, your family, your philanthropic efforts, etc. 

The most important step to take is to look at what your selected real estate firm offers.  Keller Williams Realty at Hilltop Virginia Beach offers agents an excellent educational foundation that provides you with the tools your need to build your business.  Education is the key to your success and Keller Williams is actually a real estate education and consulting company disguised as a real estate firm.  Our education is tops…bar none!  And it’s because of these high-caliber educational offerings that our agents have the ability to provide exceptional service and results for their clients.

If you have any curiosity whatsoever about what it takes to embark on a real estate career, please call me.  For experienced agents who might even been thinking about changing companies, I welcome an opportunity to chat with you confidentially.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

After eight weeks of intensive coaching, practicing, and implementing, the BOLD participants will be graduating from the exclusive Keller Williams Realty BOLD Coaching Program.  These agents mastered the dialogues needed to better assist their buyers and sellers.  Additionally, they have built a strong lead generation foundation that will be the source of future new and referral business. 

Why were these agents successful?  The agents who participated in BOLD varied from brand new as a real estate agents to over thirty year’s experience and they succeeded because they committed to doing the necessary tasks to be successful.  Anybody can be a real estate agent but only those who are diligent in their lead generation and maintain consistent contact with their family, friends, acquaintenances and sphere of influence will they remain the real estate expert in their eyes.  The highest compliment an agent can receive is a referral from a satisfied client.  BOLD participates were honored tremendously because they received so, so many referrals from their clients and sphere.

Take your business to the next level and commit to training programs that come your way.  In our BOLD classes, we were thrilled to have agents from Coldwell Banker, Wainwright, Prudential, and Keller Williams Realty at Town Center.  It is very satisfying when agents from other companies participate in the amazing training that Keller Williams Realty at Hilltop offers.  We always welcome all real estate agents, regardless of affiliation, to our training events.

To learn more about the training we offer, please give me a call.  It will be my pleasure to share  our training  calendar with you.

Are You an All-Star?

Posted by Jo Cross | Posted in Ask a Realtor, Career Training, For Buyers, For Realty Professionals, For Sellers, General Information | Posted on 13-07-2010

Tonight, America had the opportunity to watch the All-Star Baseball game.  This game featured the best of the best when it came to baseball players.  Chesapeake’s own David Wright represented the New York Mets with his recurring appearance at this mid-summer baseball event.  These highly talented men became so skilled in their positions because of one basic principle…they practiced.  Consistent practice and a desire to reach their goal were vital to their success and today, they reveled in the cheers of the crowd as they played the All American Game of baseball.

Are you an all-star?  You may be one in your family, your chosen career, your church.  All it takes is your dedication to be the best.  Consistent practice will give you the confidence and strength to reach the goals that you have set for yourself.  It could be a far-reaching goal or one that is relatively attainable so that you can reach that one and then move onto bigger and better goals. 

  • You have the power to determine what your all-star ability will be. 
  • You have the power to act on that desire. 
  • You have the power to put into motion those steps necessary to make you an all-star.
  • You have the power to make a difference and live an all-star life.

Take some time and look at your all-star game plan.  With perservance, tenacity and strong belief in yourself, you will succeed!
