From the desk of Leigh Brown, CRS, ABR, CIPS, SRES, 2017 president
Every year, spring hits us in real estate like we weren’t really expecting it! The curse of the commission life is the questioning and doubts that winter causes, followed by the 180-degree change when the first warm weekend arrives!
This is the time when some REALTORS® stop prospecting and branding, as they struggle to keep up with client demands. But not you; you are a CRS. You know that the cycle never stops! If you’re thinking of adding to your team (or starting a team), perhaps you need to carve out a day for the classroom course on teams (check the schedule for CRS 122–Building a Team to Grow Your Business at crs.com), or if you are too stretched for time, you can download a webinar recording and watch it at night in your PJs (maybe the March 21 webinar—Leverage and Delegate to Double Your Production).
And while you’re up late working, you’re probably on social media checking in. It’s a great time to make sure you’re connected to your local, state and national CRS communities so you can be alert to referral opportunities and find the partners who can help you through those real estate moments that only fellow REALTORS® understand.
Remember to use our hashtags of #MoreThanHouses when you’re out doing amazing things in your communities and associations, and #OneHour when you’re doing education and networking within the CRS community. I’m watching and hoping that every single one of us is committed to improving this CRS community and real estate as a whole!
I appreciate each of you—now, back to it!
