Psst….it's going to be a good year!

Not to underplay what is happening in markets all across North America – many of the 90 odd realtors I personally work with have exceeded their income goals for the year already and are exploding through their glass ceilings for this final quarter.    I am not sure who is more surprised.  Many of us began the year wondering -what the year would

25 years of commitment and courage

I want to applaud Larry.  He’s a client I’ve had the honor of working with for the past three years or so.  He’s  your every day story.  Started in the real estate business from another kind of industry.  Liked the idea of independence and freedom and liked the thought he could work in a business

Giving Back

Turning tragedy into a helping hand.  Taking what you learned from this situation, that circumstance, that doctor’s bad news – and allowing it to be a leap off point.  It happens sometimes.   I think of the Terry Fox Run, the assortment of Cancer Runs for the Cure that occur, tv-athons to raise funds for kids

Explodes her Glass Ceiling!

Congrats to Julie Morris in the Toronto marketplace.  Julie has been in real estate a while – and is at the place where she could comfortably predict from year to year – with only a tinge of uncertainty- what she might earn in any given year.   There were a couple of years recently that things didn’t

Rafael Galiano-Eating Fear!

Another client that has been my privilege to work with is Rafael Galiano out of San Francisco.  He’s another younger realtor in both years and years  in the business.  He’s been engaging, aspiring and inspiring from the beginning when he first came on board with me – with a desire to achieve his big audacious goal of a million dollars GCI.
