Hi Julie,

I have been looking back at this past year and wanted to share with you some more “WOW HREU” realizations!

This is crazy, this is fun, this exciting, this is inspiring, this happened fast, and this only the beginning.

It’s been just about a year since I joined HREU.  This time last year I was planning how I wanted the coming year to be and setting goals for life, family, business, financial, vacation and specifically what I wanted to achieve.

Here I am right at the 12 month mark of joining HREU and here are some exciting GOALS that have come to fruition!

So far, by the end of this month I will be well over the 6 figure mark in real estate earnings, listing inventory at 32 (when I set the goal 12 months ago I wanted to be at 30 listings), I work with hand-picked buyer clients, I have a new associate on my team who is doing excellent work, I’m working normal hours-normally 9am-3pm, don’t normally work weekends (I’ve worked 3 weekends this past year and that was by choice to work with close referrals from my sphere who were buyers), got fun little gifts for ourselves when certain deals have closed (iPhone for example), and here is one of the really cool parts for me because I really visualized this….the trips.

The “power vacations” you talked about. This year so far I have taken trips with my wife and kids to:  Lake Tahoe, Montana, San Francisco, Payette Lake McCall, and my wife and I took a couples trip to Mexico with close friends.  We have also been camping and boating here locally in southwestern Idaho about a half dozen times this summer as well in addition to the above mentioned destinations.

The reason I mention all of the trips is because I visualized that so strongly as part of the new lifestyle I wanted 12 months ago.  I had such a strong bead on every aspect of what’s going on in my life and my business right now that it’s mind boggling!  My wife and I were laughing the other day saying, “Can you believe how much fun we’ve had this year?!!…and it’s only August!”  And  we also acknowledged that this is precisely what I visualized and set in motion just 1 year ago!

Holy smokes!

Tim and Julie, this journey, this experience, this success would not be if you and I had not crossed paths and I had not jumped into the HREU short sale program.

Remember, this time last summer I was transitioning out of selling office equipment and photocopiers and getting back into full-time real estate!  Success was my destination and you were there with the map!  (Let me tell you, the map was really easy to follow and it led right to where you said it would!)

Thank you for the challenges (especially the 20 listings in 45 day challenge..life and career changing) and guidance and constant energy and focus with your morning motivational message, your blog and website and constant up-to-the-minute info on this constantly changing and evolving industry.  It has proved to be priceless.

What can I say?  A lot apparently   It’s been 1 year and this is only the beginning.  I am so excited and so grateful.  I am grateful for you, Tim and Julie and HREU.  This has been my best year ever in real estate…and it’s far from over!

Sincerely,
