http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/RSSCOMMENTS en-US http://backend.userland.com/rss092 <p>Darin, thanks for your comments. Many things are changing in our world, brands and what they mean to people is certainly one of the. The transition has been great. I think a lot of the folks at Windermere but I feel Sea Coast Exclusive Properties is the place for me right now.</p> http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/all-good-things-must-come-to-an-end#c81934 Thanks Todd, I appreciate your response. I agree we must do what is best for those we serve. http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/all-good-things-must-come-to-an-end#c81933 <p>Loren,</p><br /> <p>I am happy to hear you are back at a firm that resonates with your commitment to your clients. &#160;I and, more importantly, your clients applaud you sir.</p><br /> <p>With more dedicated real estate professionals like yourself, the level of professionalism can only be pushed higher. &#160;Can you imagine a time where a real estate brand is able to hold itself out as <strong>the</strong>&#160;place to find an agent who will address the consumer's needs instead of their own pocketbook? &#160;Can you also imagine a time when the real estate brand <strong>enhances</strong> the agent's own stellar name?</p><br /> <p>Sounds to me like the best is yet to come...</p><br /> <p>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmf1AYgYj6I Thank you Frank!]</p> http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/all-good-things-must-come-to-an-end#c81789 <p>Whoa!!! Loren I have enjoyed having our conversations about Windermere so this comes as a shock to me. You have shared why you are changing in a respectful, professional manner.</p><br /> <p>I wonder if real estate brokerages will "listen" aka read what you are saying here or will that react until it is being so loud that can't help but listen.</p><br /> <p>The challenge for any real estate brokerage or a real estate agent, is they can't look at "branding", "advertising" the same as Coke, Pepsi, Chevy or even Colgate toothpaste. Most people will only a buy 2-3 homes in their lifetime. </p><br /> <p>I hope the transition goes smootly for you!!!</p> http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/all-good-things-must-come-to-an-end#c81781 <p>Loren,</p><br /> <p>Thank you for the kind words!</p><br /> <p>As Mike and I stated at Connect and have repeated back in the office, we were so pleased to finally meet you in person. &#160;Meeting a like minded agent via social media is one thing, but to be able to solidify the working relationship with an in-person meeting is the icing on the cake.</p><br /> <p>Keep the faith, Loren!</p> http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/the-gift#c78671 Thanks for commenting I appreciate it! Hope you had a great weekend. http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/the-enemy-within#c78112 <p>Hi&#160; Loren,</p><br /> <p>I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts! </p><br /> <p>I love "Begin Within"</p> http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/the-enemy-within#c78077 <p>thanks</p> http://www.coastalhomefinder.com/interest-rates-on-the-move-up#c74761
