Deal Makers are first Play Makers


I was at my son's B.B. game yesterday, probably more into the game than all the kids combined! "Box him out!", "Back him up to the Basket!", "Shoot and draw the foul!". While working with my son during the off season, the one thing I am teaching him is to learn the basics! At age 12, he is still learning to dribble, work under the basket, etc.


What does this have to do with Real Estate you may ask? Quite a bit! In my mind it is more than work ethic, integrity, honesty, my time and devotion to my customers and clients. It is learning the skills and techniques necessary to make a deal happen! Deal Makers....Play Makers..one in the same.


These are the thoughts I consistently instill in my team (and myself). When we walk, we don't need to talk, have a flashy vehicle, we just make the play...for our clients, customers and ourselves! http://www.MarylandsHomeTeam.com/
