Can't say that was true for me or, at the end of the day, with any broker. What influenced me was:
- Two decades as a financial officer/executive in Fortune 500 companies, where I learned to negotiate, manage people, run a business, etc.
- The very poor example set by agents I'd had personal experience with... that's what drove me to the business and I knew to be successful I just needed to do the opposite.

Real Talk, and the Real Town Network. So many smart people. I paid attention to everything that they said. My broker was good locally,, but these others were and are great at real estate in the big wide world.

My first broker who, instead of answering my questions, always said, "What does the contract say?" and forced me to look for the answer myself and understand that the answers truly ARE in the contract! We would then discuss but not until I found it and read it. Yes, in front of him. LOL

Yes and even more so in a family business when it was my mother. It was not easy or fun, she was harder on me than any of out 30 plus agents as i was an example. She had me complete every task there is in real estate. Back them it was driving to a town hall to get a tax map. It was driving to a client to get a signature. It was pre qualifying by hand and in person. It made me aware of and experienced in every part from building to inspection, to appraisals to writing a mortgage. It was beat into me that service is everything. That clients are for life and take care of them at all cost. Treat others like you want to be treated and remember who step on climbing the ladder to success as you will see them again on the way down

It is not true for me ... and it is why I left the brokerage after 6 months.
Most influencial ... my inner guidance to not follow the sheaple. Like Nina Hollander I brought a wealth of education and experience to the table. Most of the so-called influenciers were a joke to me.

my first big builder was the most influential.... I paid attention and made myself visible everyday to communicate and watch the process of building a home.... I was inspired to get my builder's license and had is vor 20 years.... that allowed me to close as many builders as I could handle and capture the marketplace during my time in real estate....
now I just hit the keyboard!
