April 20, 2009. Chevy Chase, Md. Pleasure.

It gives me great pleasure to see the success of the agents. I love to watch them gain expertise and competence, followed by confidence, then watch as their life expands as their income grows. It is one of the great pleasures of my life to watch their evolution. Tonight we had dinner in the new home of one of our agents and her husband. They moved in just one week ago, so boxes are still unpacked, but the furniture is in place and the kitchen and master bedroom are set up, and for the next few months they will shape that lovely older home into top shape. They both have great taste in decorating, so it will be fun to watch it take shape. This is the third home they have purchased since she became an agent. In each instance, they have purchased a home that had very little charm and character, and turned those homes into a show case. The last time we were at their party just before Christmas, Ken commented to our hosts that it was a great party, but perhaps it was time to buy a bigger house, because all the projects are completed!! So that is what they did. It took a strong stomach in this day and age, to buy their new home and then sell their old one, but they did it. Now they are thrilled, and I am thrilled for them. It is a great pleasure for me in my life as a Manager to watch the success of the agents.
