Sunday and I"m off and running

good morning. I think.

I am awake at 6am and starting my day. It will be action packed.
At 8 am a leadership seminar with Mo, Mark, & Mary and a few others
This will be followed up by Gary's Vision speech and 2 more break out sessions this afternoon. The breakout sessions will both be on REO's.

Lots more to blog about later.

Have a great day

Day 1 is over and I am pooped!

Well Registration is complete! I got my snazzy name tag. I spent 2 hours be pumped up my Gary Keller. Did you know that down is the new up? Yupe. Gary's message was without failure, we cannot truly achieve success. Without struggle, how can we know triumph? Think about that for a few minutes. This applies so much to Real Estate. We also learned that our perseverance through this tough economic time will only enlighten us for the future which of course is will be brighter. The evening concluded with a private concert from "The Guess Who" Remember American Woman????

And for a treat, here is a video of today!

Registration day

Good Morning KW Family!

The fun begins offically at 11:30 this morning. That is when registration begins. It is a sort of controlled chaos. It's also the beginning of the networking. (of course I already started this!)

I know Chris, Debbie, Paul, Chuck and Arlene are out there somewhere. Maybe I can find them with my Family Reunion cam???

Well, I am off to return e-mails and wait for the shuttle bus to take me over the convention center.

More later

REO Boot camp

Well, I have completed today's boot camp on REO's. Okay, I confess to leaving a bit early. My body just couldn't sit still any longer. What I did learn and would like to share is for all of you buyer agents who have clients that want to put in a offer.

#1 Make it a real offer. The bank knows what the property is worth and no they won't take any offer just to get rid of the property.

#2 Banks require a good faith deposit. Usually 1-3% of the offer price. Call the listing agent and find out the amount. If they don't know, or say it doesn't matter. It does. Take at least 1%. Fax the listing agent a copy of the check with the P.O.

#3. Your commission cannot be negotiated. It is what it is.

good Morning Orlando

Well after a good nights sleep (that is a bold faced lie, I don't like strange beds) I am off to my first seminar. It's a all day boot camp on REO's and BPO's. I hope my brain can absorb it all!

I have arrived!

Hi All,

Well after a 20 minute delay, I was able to fly out of LaGuardia and arrive in sunny Orlando. The trip from the airport to the hotel took about 20 minutes. The hotel is awesome. I have a couch, a large flat screen TV, a fridge and king size bed to myself. A mother dream.

I am off to forage for food. More blogging tomorrow.
