New Year’s Resolutions
10. I will always work with a buyer/broker agreement.
9. I will maintain my local blog as local and not stray into unacceptable territory just for the sake of my buddies.
8. I will prospect daily no matter how sick of it I get.
7. I will consistently call leads no matter how mean, nasty and rude they are.
6. I will listen to the advice of others.
5. I will wait until I hang up before I call people names.
4. I will not take offense to offensive blog comments.
3. I will say no nicely.
2. I will not sleep on the couch with my laptop.
And my number 1 real estate new year’s resolution…I will install a taximeter in my vehicle for those who buyers who just want to look.
Start spreading the news...

Instead of waiting to call people names, I just smile and flip off the phone.
In lieu of the taximeter, go green and ride a scooter.
I’ve had a few “ooops” where I accidentally didn’t wait until the phone was hung up.
A scooter. Now that’s an idea. I could get a trailer to haul my clients in. I’d need extra helmets, but I’d save money on gas. Hmmm.
I seldom call people names before hanging up the phone. But I think they can tell by the sound of the receiver slamming up against my desk or wall.
Vicki – The scooter idea is a great one, but forego the trailer. Running alongside the scootering real estate agent to look at homes is a better idea for looky loos.
The go-green-scooter comes with a no-option pre-qualification package of 3 rusty skateboards and used water-skiing ropes. Towed behind the go-green-scooter, the “i love you and will work with you pre-qualification rating” starts adding up with each home viewed on the fly-by. If the lookies make it to the fifth home bring out the bic pen, the contract and starbucks. Corners, downhill roads or a combo, gives the lookies added bonus points and lets them sign without further coaching. These folks are keepers.
Chris – Too funny. I told a telemarketer the other day that I was going to break his eardrum by slamming the phone on the desk he didn’t hang up first.
Larry – I don’t know what to say to you. Your humor is far beyond what I can come up with. You’re a creative nut.
Mariana – Any time I can encourage you, I count that as a day done well.
BTW
“I’d need extra helmets”
Not so, I forgot to point out that NO HELMUTS means an extra 10 pre-qualification points for the lookies.
Here, here! Vicki – you have hit on some #1 resolutions for many – love the taximeter!:)
