    Today's Real Estate Agent Job Description: Do You Have the Skill Set?
    Every year many people think about starting a career in real estate sales. It looks enticing, the freedom to create your own schedule, to be in control of how much you earn, and to have your own business.

      Do you believe in coincidences? Well, as I was writing this article, I got an email from past colleague.

      The last time we "talked" was by email 2 years ago. And yet, when I got her email today, I was delighted to hear from her (even though she was writing to ask me for something).

      We lose touch with people all the time -- in our professional lives and personal lives -- for various reasons.

      For example, this year, with the birth of our second baby, followed by our relocation across the country, along with my involvement in completing my book I haven't been able to stay in touch with many people. After all, there's only so much time in the day!

      Then, when it comes time to reconnect, many people feel awkward about it. And many people don't reconnect just because of that sense of awkwardness.

      However, reconnecting can be delightful -- just like I was delighted to hear from my colleague earlier today.

      And just like my past contacts are happy to hear from me, as I reach out to reconnect with them, now that things are beginning to get back to "normal".

              Stop Your Employee From Becoming Your Competitor
              You know the routine. You've hired an eager individual willing to come onboard and learn the business. You've taught them, trained them, worked hand in hand and side by side for 2 solid years. Then all of a sudden your employee quits for no apparent reason.To your disbelief and utter amazement, you realize that you have just wasted the last 2 years of your life. A week or so
              get back to "normal".

              So what allows people to reconnect with each other comfortably, even after long periods of silence?

              • First, keeping in touch is a two-way street. If I've lost touch with someone, it means that *neither* of us have initiated contact with the other. In other words, it's not just *one* person's responsibility to keep in touch. So chances are, when I do initiate contact, the other person will be happy to hear from me -- especially, if we had a good relationship in the past.

                Of course, if we didn't have a relationship in the past, it's a different story -- and a topic for a future article.

              • Second, whenever an opportunity arises, use it to reconnect. For instance, I'll use occasions like someone's birthday, or some event in my life (e.g. my farewell party) to reconnect. And when I do get in touch, I'll usually bring the person up to date with what's been going on with me (if they don't know already), so they have a sense of why I haven't kept in touch.

                Since most people are busy themselves, they usually understand and forgive the lapse.

                Again, the important thing to notice is that these are people with whom I had already built a relationship in the past. So I know their birthdays, and have an interest in their lives,
