I Can’t Believe it’s September Already
As we move from Summer into Fall, it’s time we start looking ahead to next year. That’s right; we’re almost in the 4th Quarter! Every year, during the 4th Quarter, I like to lock myself in a room (with drinks & snacks, of course) and my laptop. I sit down, free myself of distractions, and […]
My WomanUP!® Recap
As we jump back into the office after Labor Day, we can sometimes forget in our day to day busy schedules, just how important it is to take a break! So I hope you spent the long weekend out of your office, in the sun and surrounded by friends and family! I know I did! […]
Are YOU Showing Up Authentically?
This week was a long one… And not just for me, but for everyone in my life it seems. And even though it was the week of all weeks and I wanted to run away, and hide – I knew I couldn’t. I had to keep showing up, keep connecting and communicating. And keep being […]
What is Your Unique Value?
I’ve had a lot on my mind this week, but at the top of it is numbers! Yes, numbers 🤓 The number is constantly in fluctuation, but according to recent reports there are over 1.5 Million Members of the National Association or REALTORS®. Which means there is likely A LOT in your surrounding area. That’s a lot […]
The Jet Lag is REAL!
If you know me then you know my motto is “I’m not BUSY, I’m PRODUCTIVE”… but wow, this month has been busy (and very productive!) 😂 From Inman Connect in Las Vegas at the beginning of the month and C.A.R WomanUp! scheduled at the end… to now settling my girl into her dorm for her last […]
Deposits vs. Withdrawals
As I’m setting down from ALL of my travelings (Nashville, Inman, New York, to C.A.R to NAR… WHEW), I’m thinking about getting back into the swing of things and focusing on my favorite part of being a REALTOR®… The RELATIONSHIPS. This past week in my ongoing Real Estate by Relationship® Academy – we talked about […]
It’s Time to Get Involved
One of the top questions I get asked from my fellow REALTORS® is, “Barb, why do you volunteer so much?”. And I LOVE when people ask me this because I get to share something so important to me and hopefully open my colleague’s eyes to what’s happening in our Real Estate community. First and foremost, […]
A Gift to the Real Estate Industry
You all know that Social Media is one of my favorite topics! Why? Because I believe it’s one of the most significant gifts given to the real estate industry, yet so few use it intentionally, you know to take advantage of all it offers. Now, you also know I’m the “relationship” girl. I care about […]
Onwards & Upwards
These past few weeks have been some of the hardest in my career. I was asked to end a 17-year relationship that was extremely important to me ❤️ Pursuing my dreams was seen as a threat. It’s been hard to process, it’s come with many emotions, and it’s made me reflect a ton. What did […]
How to Not Be “Salesy”
Throughout my 20-year Real Estate journey, the number one resounding question I hear without fail while I’m training other agents is, “How do I ask for business without sounding Salesy?” So many agents have struggled in the past, or are currently struggling with, asking friends and family for business! So if this sounds like a […]
