I guess I kind of expected it.  When I decided to sell the assets of my RE/MAX Realty Group office and stay on as an agent at the new RE/MAX Realty Group, I knew to anticipate the rumors.  Fortunately, blogging gives me the opportunity to clear up a few things so here goes....

To my competition: 

1.  I am not selling the office because business sucks.  I'm doing quite fine, but thank you for your obvious concern.

2.  No, I'm not interested in multi-level marketing no matter how much better you think my life will be.  My real estte career keeps me plenty busy.

3.  I am not "retiring" and you know it so knock it off, ok?

4.  I am not "going on the speaking circuit." (that's my favorite so far.)  Yes, I do speak at conventions and conferences and will continue to share what I've learned over 31 years.  I learn as much as I share at the events I attend.

To my valued clients:

After 31 years, I've decided I love listing and selling real estate more than unjammng copy machines and taking out the garbage.  I plan to sell a lot of real estate over the next few years.  For me, it doesn't get any better than that!
