The Buyers are coming, the buyers are coming!!

     On Friday I met with an agent who contacted me about possibly switching companies.  We had coffee and I talked about all the things that I really like about Keller Williams.  It's so funny to hear the outrageous myths that people are told about our company.  GOD, FAMILY, then BUSINESS.  That should tell you something about us right there.  It's like a good friend of mine told me, "you can listen to the rumors, or you can profit from the truth".  I'm pretty sure that agent made her decision as soon as I started talking about our belief system and values.  It's easy to grow your profit share tree when you share from the heart.  
     The rest of the day was spent making phone calls and prospecting for new buyers.  I also met with two agents who pay me to coach them on Craigslist advertising and maximizing their websites.   This helps me to generate a little extra income and my two clients are constantly praising my services.  Who knows, maybe this could turn into something bigger someday.  
     Later Friday afternoon I pounced on the opportunity to have a date night with my wife.  We stayed out late, for us that means 9:00pm.  So I'm doing a double duty today, blogging for Friday and Saturday.  My 2.5 hours of playing the "floor time lottery" today was uneventful.  In fact, I didn't receive one call.  Although I did still make $70 helping another agent finish a few reports. 
     I also met with a new buyer for a consultation and to sign a buyer agency agreement.  She and her husband are interested in properties that offer owner financing.  If I'm successful in helping them, it will be my first transaction of this type.  They seemed anxious to buy, and they have some money for a down payment.  Hopefully I can find something that works for them!
