A Piece Of The Pie

When I first started in the real estate business, a very wise man who had been in the business for decades told me, "It's better to have a piece of the pie rather than no pie at all!"

This is so true. I don't know how rich he was, but I think he was happy.

Sharing our information on listings and resources can only help us all. Sell my listings! Sell them all! I really, REALLY don't care if I have to split my commission with you. And I've got some expensive listings. And some very inexpensive ones, too.

My experience has been that with every transaction I learn so much. I do believe this learning will never stop. And it gives me so much more confidence for the next one.

I always wonder why some of those very successful real estate agents out there are so bitchy! Why are they so nasty?! What's the story?! You're not happy making all that money? I think I'd never stop smiling, if I had the experience, confidence, and not to mention the capital that you have!

I am guessing it's that "greed poison." They want ALL of the pie. "No, you can't have any - it's all mine! It's my listing and I'm gonna make all the money and I'm not calling you back with the info, so there!"

It's a riot, really! I get such a kick out of that. O.k., then, sit on your listing, then. I'll sell someone else's - someone who's willing to share their pie with me.

And speaking of sharing, here's a great, free Internet site to post your commercial real estate listings: http://www.CIMLS.com
