Retired - Gaithersburg, MD

My real estate career has ended with retirement so I have a special suggestion for you. Set aside a large contribution to your retirement funds in 2015 and every year to assure a comfortable retirement.

Expand your business by staying on the phone until your appointment schedule is full.

I'm going to double up on my efforts to stay in touch with former clients.  As the years go on and the list gets longer, it becomes more challenging.

Hmm Instagram that sounds like an idea I should try too. It seems there is always something new to try.  I would love to get a part time admin this year, that is a goal of mine.

I'm hiring an office manager! It should free up more time for myself and my assistant/buyer's agent. She started Instagram this year, but for the most part it is for a younger crowd. Freeing up your/my time for prospecting is Number 1.

Experience is not expensive. It is Priceless!

I am going to continue to work hard to exceed my clients expectations! I am going to spend time not only on the phone but reconnecting with past clients for coffee or lunch or something. I am also going to try to balance work and family time better.   I finally have health insurance starting FEB 2, 2014 hurray!!!  I will also start to put away at least 10% of my earnings for retirement.  Life is GOOD!!!
