I’m a huge fan of New Years Day. It’s a fresh start, a day I reflect on I how well I did with achieving my goals and setting new ones for the coming year. I do this every year both professionally and personally. I’m a huge believer in having something to work towards because I get the satisfaction of saying “I did it!,” which motivates me to strive for more. A favorite quote from Earl Nightingale says, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going…it’s as simple as that.” Most years I include in my personal goals something to do with weight loss and health and this year is no different. I’d like to think I get smarter about how to achieve this goal. This year involves more of eating the right foods, less of them and of course adding daily exercise into my life. I am just not one of those people that likes to exercise. Maybe this year will change and I’ll find a way to incorporate it into my weekly schedule without feeling like it’s such an inconvenience.
As for my professional goals…2014 marked my 14th year in real estate. It was once again a wonderful year for me. 2015 brings a big change…I’m officially starting a Team! My assistant, Katie Barry, is beginning her fifth year with me. She keeps me sane by handling all the paperwork that comes with this job, allowing me more time to spend with my clients and helping them with their needs. Sadly, Katie is moving to California for her husband to pursue a fabulous job. I’m on the hunt to find her replacement, which will not be easy as they are some big shoes to fill! In addition to an administrative assistant, I have added Kyle Gebhart, a new agent with a ton of energy, enthusiasm and overall determination to succeed in this industry. Working as a team will help bring success to all our clients. I have many other goals but this one is by far the biggest. I’m excited to improve my business by offering a higher level of service, which should be a win-win for us all.
With that said, if you or anyone you know is thinking of buying or selling in 2015, I’d love to talk to you about how I can help.
Happy New Year and I hope to see you soon!
