I think most people have the best intentions when it comes to their life. To their future. We determine January 1st that this is the year we are going to get fit. To lose weight. To take that dream vacation. But somehow life gets in the way and by mid-February, we’ve lost sight of those goals. It’s been said, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. And I think that’s at the heart of the problem. We have goals in mind. But we have no clear path on how to get there. And without a systematic plan, we make little progress.

Our agents are outstanding salespeople. We know that. Working with clients. Finding the treasure property. Negotiating the deal. Simply the best. And when it comes to support personnel nobody comes close to the talent and dedication of our crew. What you may not know, however, is that in addition to their obvious talents, lurks in many cases superb cooking skills.

Tradition. It’s defined as ‘a long-established practice that is followed or observed by a group.” There are a lot of traditions observed in our society. And most of them associate with special events. Halloween for example, it’s a tradition that children dress up, originally in scary costumes and go from door to door collecting treats.

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. Enchanting! The season brings visions of golden-brown turkeys with all the trimmings. Carolers singing as the snow falls gently down. Gifts under the Christmas tree. Stockings hung by the fireplace. Family times. It’s just a special time unlike any other in the year. And a time when memories are forged that will last a lifetime.

It seems every time we have a party at RE/MAX Garden City it never is an isolated event. It always becomes an annual tradition. And that’s certainly the way it has been with Halloween. Costumes, contests, pot luck, lots of fun.

RE/MAX entered the real estate scene in 1973. Over 5 decades ago! At the time, it was a radical new approach to the typical real estate company model. Up until then there were basically two company structures. There was the conventional real estate office, where the Broker of Record was pretty much in control. He/she charted the course of the company. He/she controlled all the marketing and advertising. And he/she paid the costs. But in return, he/she retained half the commission. It was what we called a full service conventional real estate model.

August 29th was a wonderful day! A mix of sun and cloud with no rain in sight. Temperatures in the mid 70’s for those of you, who like me, still think in Fahrenheit. Warm enough to be outside in shirtsleeves even on into the evening. You just never know when you get into the last week of August. Can be unseasonably warm and sunny, but it can also, on occasion, have a real chill in the air. Especially into the evening. We lucked out!

It’s been a long-standing tradition here at RE/MAX Garden City Realty Inc. spanning several decades. Our annual ‘Hackers’ golf tournament. And as the name suggests it’s not really a serious golf tournament. It’s meant to embrace all kinds of talent and experience, incorporating golfers who are ‘scratch’ caliber all the way to people who have never held a club in their hands. And believe me, we get people from both ends of the spectrum and everything in between. But it’s designed to be a social event where our agents and friends can just go out and have some fun. And it very much accomplishes that.
