Satellite Beach Office is Open!

Hi Everyone!

You would think after taking two weeks off, I would be ready to go. Well I am! I got back to the office on Monday after spending a weekend in Los Angeles for a Sturge Weber conference. This is the disease my beautiful granddaughter was diagnosed with 6 months after she was born. She is now over 3 1/2 and doing great. It's a long road ahead and with such a rare disease, we just don't know her future. We will keep our fingers crossed. Each year we do our golf tournament and my wonderful Agents put their heart and soul into helping us raise money for Sturge Weber research. Once I got back from my weekend in LA, I spent the last week playing golf with my brother from Boston. We played 12 rounds in 7 days. It was a ton of golf and a ton of fun. Unfortunately he beat me and I now have to look at his name on the trophy for the next year!

So, we are finally starting to expand. I've held off until I felt like we should be listing properties and the fact is, if a property is priced correctly, they will sell. Our new Satellite Beach office is located next to The Dove restaurant at 1790 Hwy A1A. If you have never eaten there, it's a great restaurant!

Some people have asked me why I'm opening another office, especially in this real estate market. There are a few reasons. Firstly, we are doing fine. As mentioned in a previous blog, I had made the decision to concentrate on buyers over the past 5 years. We took very few listings as it didn't make much sense to me. Because of that decision, we have been able to become the number Real Estate office in the county in working with buyers (out of 500 offices). Of course I couldn't have done that without all of you! Secondly, there are a lot of consumers who believe that if your office isn't located beachside, then you don't know beachside. As much as this isn't true, I still felt we should have an office there to quell those concerns.

On December 1, from 5pm - 7:30pm we will be holding a customer appreciation/grand opening/ ribbon cutting party. If you are local, please mark it on your calendar to come help us celebrate our new opening! I hope to see some of you there.

As always, if there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. We are always here for you!

Just got back from a Tony Robbins Seminar!

Hi Everyone!

So yes, when I decided to take the plunge and go to a Tony Robbins Seminar, I couldn't believe I was wasting $500 to go to a rah rah session. However, when I left the Seminar on Monday, I couldn't believe it was ONLY $500!

Not only did I learn a lot about myself and learn certain things that were holding me back, but I walked on Fire on Friday night. It was quite amazing. Here I am, along with 3,500 of my new friends, steering down a 10 foot path of 2,000 degree embers. And then, without hesitation, you just walk through it as if you were walking through the shoreline of the beach. The only damage to my feet was the black soot that I had to wash when I got home on Friday night.

So now my thoughts are, if I can walk on fire, what can't I do! I did not go alone, 5 of my Agents also went with me and had the same awesome experience. In just the last few days since we have all returned to our daily lives of work and family, the energy these Agents, and myself have, is amazing. Basically you learn to put yourself into a "Peak State" which allows you to do anything. I did have someone tell me that 2,000 degree embers are not really hot...that's why they use them they said. However, I can tell you that when you see someone in front of you throw down fresh toasty flaming embers, it's hot has heck!

It will be interesting over the next few months to see how my agents and myself utilize and gain momentum with these new tools...or will they just disipate? I'm very confident in myself but can't speak for my Agents. If you have Sammi, Julie Cambe, Melissa, Charlies or Nick as your Agent, you might just see them float on air when you are with them. They are all excited as I am too!

One thing that Tony Robbins did say though is very important for our business and just as important for you, the consumer, is that this is the time to make money in Real Estate. Any good investor will tell you that you make your money on a home when you buy it. If you have been on the fence of whether or not you should buy, then it's time to drop those fears and jump in. Let us help you find some of the best deals that we haven't seen in years!
