thomas j nelson realtor la jolla: Looking for CA Love - The Needle in The Haystack of Needles
- 09/14/23 09:15 AM
California has 39.24 million citizens and my city of San Diego
has 1.39 million citizens.
How do I and/or how do you stand out?
In any state or providence; how do YOU stand out?
I'm not just an agent, I'm a REALTOR®! Nope, 202,970 other CA agents are REALTORS® too! And the public thinks all 434,000 licensed real estate agents in CA are REALTORS®.
I have designations from extensive training! The alphabet soup after your name means nothing other than you and the instructor that sold you the designation.
Less than 50% of agents can even identify most acronyms and the general public 100% has no … (4 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor la jolla: Whiskey's Wisdom: Going The Extra Mile
- 09/01/23 08:11 AM
"Look for every opportunity
to go the extra mile.
That's how you become extra special
and extra successful."
~Writer, Steve Ventura
My Mentor Brian Buffini grew up house painting
in Dublin, Ireland
and his Dad taught him about
going the extra mile.
They would paint a room,
then clean it and put all new light bulbs
in all the fixtures. Why?
Because the paint always looked better
in a clean room with bright, consistent lighting.
Boom! The Extra Mile.
Your action for today
is to do something that is
over and above the call of duty.
I do this often in real estate and for friends
when they are in a tough spot.

- 08/06/23 07:33 AM

There's plenty of movement,
but you never know if it's going

a project or goal you have been
procrastinating on.

I'm doing this with someone I lost touch with

Today's his birthday, great excuse to pour
some love and appreciation on him.

Newer agents often ask me:
How do I get a database as big as yours?
How do I earn over $100,000 / year

Meant To Be
When you represent buyers in a sellers market, I truly believe your #1 priority is preserving their joy for the process, because it's going to be a tough journey that will test their resolve and patience.
We need to give them the following:
Realistic Expectations: This is a highly competitive market, expect to take 2-4 months to get an accepted offer and expect to on average have written 4-6 well written offers that just don't get chosen. Realistic Numbers: The market says this house is worth between $800,000 and $850,000 but, if you want to buy it in this … (7 comments)

The BBB Torch Awards and What They Taught Me (Part 3 of 3)
Part 1
Part 2
When a local bank nominated me as a REALTOR® who employs 1-4 employees for a Better Business Bureau Torch Award I went through a very surreal reaction:
It's quite humbling. I didn't know they were watching. It's an honor that they took notice. I was blown away to learn that out of over 30,000 San Diego real estate licensees I was one of only three REALTORS® nominated. There's an intense interview process I had to go through in phases: 1. Video introduction submission
2. Written Q&A submission
