A Humble Heart!

Yesterday I listened to a very humble man. His name is Kerry Jackson. 
 
Kerry is an Associate Real Estate Broker with United Brokers Group in Arizona.
 
Kerry was a wealth of information about how he has managed through the tough valley real estate market and all the shifts we’ve had this past 10 years. 
 
Realtors attending the meeting asked, “What’s your marketing strategy? How do you structure your day? When should I hire a transaction manager? What’s your system? Do you use EDDM? Who partners with you in marketing?”
 
I loved his reply. 
 
He simply said, “You know my background is engineering. Daily I get up and prepare for my day, just like I was going into an office. My day starts at 8am and I work till 6pm.  Every day is full of activity. I probably should have better systems, however I spend a good part of my day simply talking to people. I listen to needs and try my best to help meet the other person’s need. I do have a transaction coordinator, she handles paperwork and my closings. She’d probably say I need to be better with paperwork. I simply make phone calls, talk to people and try to help.”
 
Pretty simple - pick up the phone and talk to people. 
 
In doing so, Kerry meets the needs of his clients, customers, his family and others. As a result he closed 40 transactions in the last 12 months. 

Call it what you want, Kerry has the heart of a servant. 

 

I hope to get to know Kerry better - to learn and listen to other insights he’s willing to share.

As I was listening to Kerry speak, a Proverb I read that morning came to mind. Proverbs 18:21 says, “The tongue brings death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences”.

Wow! Talking, speaking, reaching out beyond oneself, connecting with people “brings life”.

Our actions and speech are very important. We have the ability to build each other up, help meet a need, add to someone’s success - it’s really up to us and how we approach life.

 
Thank you Kerry for taking time out of your day yesterday to remind me just how important talking is.
