So much change in a short period of Time

A few month ago, Mickie and I joined Keller Williams Realty NWRE LLC in Marysville Washington. Joining the KW team brought many changes and consolidation to our way of conducting real estate. With that said, the change has been a real plus to both of us along with an improved level of service to our clients.. As much as I would love to share the business perspective, I am compelled to touch on a personal journey my real estate career has taken.

Joining in February, I thought business would be a strictly real estate agent role but to my surprise that too changed. At the end of May, I caught wind of the Market Center Administrator position opening up in the office. Stemming from a business background and holding a similar role with Barnett Associates Real Estate, LLC it was a good fit to apply. To my amazement I was awarded the position and by doing so manage all the internal office operations and the market center’s financial reporting process. Having such responsibility is an eye opening experience.

Being the MCA for just over 3 months there has been much to learn. Besides the day-to-day operations, developing as a leader has been challenging to say the least. Leadership is something studied at UW but implementing the strategy is much harder than what is portrayed in the movies and digesting the most recent leadership training has the mind reeling.

Today, in Bothell, I was surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the Keller Williams Northwest Region and it gave me the opportunity to absorb focused leadership information. After this training I’ll fly to Austin for Mega Camp (Mega Camp is a high intensity KW training program – I’ll be attending MCA Leadership). With all this trainging I come back to thinking how to continue development of this website, I am missing Pubcon this year *sad face*.

Leadership to me is putting the right people in the right place so everyone builds success and long term goal achievement. In that idea sits an opportunity. I am currently building a blog team to bring new relative content regarding the Snohomish County real estate market and where it is going because being the MCA of a office of 80+ agents makes it challenging to stay active, relevant, and information a huge undertaking. The result of the idea is to bring on top quality agent bloggers from Keller Williams Marysville to deliver quality content in a timely manner – with me filling in from time-to-time.

I am excited to see the blog team develop and read their works because I am a firm believer that everyone can learn from others. Be it perspective or insight, the limit to learning in bound only by our own limitations.
