- What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
- Today it is selling current homes so they can purchase their next home.
- Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
- There have been so many, like Easter 30 years ago when I sold 3 houses, but the one that comes to mind is a client where I have represented many members of their family. I had sold their home and was trying to find heir new home. I was with my wife (my wife owns a pet boarding business) when we were picking up a cat. This owner's home was for sale... I said ... I have a friend that may be interested .. the owner gave me a tour.. and the rest as they say is history. My clients purchased their home. There is nothing like being at the right place at the right time!
- What is your best characteristic?
- From a sales perspective their is no substitute for being a good listener. I have had the uncanny ability to empathize i.e. put myself in my clients "shoes". I feel what they feel.
- Who or what inspires you the most?
- My wife is my inspiration.. she never let's me get down .. she is the hardest worker I know and is the best people person I know!
- What is the best advice you ever received?
- Never dwell on the negative.. focus on the positive... in baseball, if you played for 20 years in the Majors and Only got a hit 30% of the time, you would be in the Hall of Fame! Everyone thinks you have to success 100% of the time.. when in actuality you "strike-out" more times than you get a hit. 30% success ratio and your in the hall of fame.. I'll take that any day!
- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
- There are many places that I could live and be very content but there is only one home and that is in Minnesota.
