I am a retired educator and a realtor of about two years. When I first began on this journey I was told to wear shirts "I am a Realtor" talk to people in the grocery line, etc. This is what the experienced realtors told me to do and they said, "It is so easy!" WRONG!!!!Later I found out: there cousin recommended them, they listed for a friend, family member, etc. I wish they would have been honest with me and other beginning realtors.I have learned to be MYSELF and I have a positive mindset focused on assisting clients to the very best of my ability. Since, I had never been in any types of sales, I would love to hear about how you received your first listing. 11/18/2024

Football season and college and NFL is a weekend must, Lou Ludwig has great information in his blog. Motivational Power Quote   Life and Football is a Team Sport “One man can’t do it alone. Football is a team sport. A running back is only as good as his offensive line.” Greg Pruitt, football player   As I see it . . . . . . . Life and football is a team sport   Just like a running back in football needs a good offensive line to block for them.   A business needs a team around them to support their efforts.   A great football player without a team around them will find it very challenging to win the game. A good football team playing together with enthusiasm becomes a winning team.   A business with common goals where the team is on the same page will create a harmony of effort and will ... 11/15/2024

What Is a Cul-De-Sac?A cul-de-sac is a street or road that ends in a rounded, closed-off area, often with a circular turnaround space. This type of street has only one entrance and exit, which means it doesn’t connect to other streets. The difference between this and a dead-end street, is that it has a circular formation. Because of the limited through-traffic, living in a cul-de-sac are thought to be quieter and safer, often preferred by families for the safer play areas and the sense of privacy they provide, and homebuyers may be willing to pay a premium for this convenience and safety feature.This past weekend Larry & I were showing houses to a family on The North Shore of Long Island, and as we approached the house in a cul-de-sac, the family were in agreement that this was the plac... 11/22/2024
