Yesterday's radio show was one of the best! We had the most calls, maybe in the history of the show. Dave Meurer hosted "All About Real Estate" and asked me to join him as a guest.
We started the show talking about Midori Miller's post, Are You An Extraordinary Real Estate Professional? She describes agents as:
- Mediocre - they say things like: "I've already done that." "It's too much work."
- Ordinary – they do just what is expected, and simply go with the flow
- Extraordinary – they believe in doing what benefits others first, they continue to train and take classes, and they are flexible enough to take action as times change.
Dave and I both believe in being in that Extraordinary group. How? First, we were doing the radio show on a beautiful Sunday at the end of summer. And Dave took time away from his family and very busy schedule to attend the Piggy TRAC Bar B Que Open House last Tuesday afternoon. He gives extraordinary service, takes the time to really listen, and to help buyers and sellers whether they use him for their mortgage or not.
I had lots more to say but the phone was hot. The board was lit up almost the entire time. We could not get to them all!
We had agents, buyers, sellers, some one with questions on refinancing, a daughter asking about the best way for her mom to purchase a home, an older caller wanting to sell his home "as is", another person talking about the people responsible for the Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac collapse, an agent calling about her open house (well actually it was about her "open" lot for sale which was near the water.) That led me to talk about a new listing that is coming soon in Sparrows Point: a 3 bedroom, 3 bath rancher with a 2 car garage and you can walk to the water; I will be posting that one soon.
And then Brandon Michael from TRAC Auctions called in to tell us about an auction property this coming Tuesday at 39 N. Eden Street that has been rehabbed. You can see the property www.TracAuctions.com. I had to put him on hold to get to the other callers. Thanks for holding Brandon. We then talked about our new online bidding option. www.eTRACauctions.com. Whew!
Before we knew it the hour was up, the music was playing, and we were signing off. But before we left, Dave and I extended our condolences to The Overby family on the loss of Terry Stafford's dad. and a big wish for Billie Tutas' speedy recovery. Please pray for TLW. Because caring about our community – even one that stretches across the country like Active Rain – that's another thing that sets extraordinary agents apart.

Hi Margaret, I wanted to listen to the show yesterday but it was over before I made it home from church. Are these shows recorded and archived somewhere that we can log on and listen?
Also, thanks for the kind thoughts for TLW. I owe you a phone call. Is tomorrow mid morning a good time to reach you?
BB, Thanks for taking time to check in. I have all these shows recorded but have not done anything with them....that's on the LIST. You owe me no call, but I will answer you at any timel.
I look forward to listening to your next broadcast. They are really good.
Margaret, How can one listen to the show? Can you point to a site or give a link, or you have the schedule?
Thanks
Margaret: It would be great if there was a link to click on to listen to a re-broadcast of your wonderful programs. Does that exist ?
Hi Margaret,
Great show yesterday. Maybe one day we can do a show on Commercial Real Estate together.
How can I listen to your show??
Wish I could hear the broadcast. I will pray for TLW. Love being extraodinary!
Margaret -
Congrats on the show, Sue and I would like to listen to a re-broadcast as well. Available on the web?
Hi to Lee!
DEAN & DEAN'S TEAM CHICAGO
Margaret-I am a huge fan of yours...you always seem to display grace and a great mind! :) I would love to hear the show as well. Also, thank you for the mention..
p.s. I think about the TLW everyday and I hope she is getting better!
Margaret,
Of course since I was once your guest on the show long long ago ...I'm sure it was another successful broadcast...I'll have to call in again some time and you are always looking out for others.
I received the email but wasn't able to tune in. Sorry I missed the event---sounds like a great idea.
We do a show here every thursday it is about 30 minutes . Like you I find this very interesting and important
It is amazing that some of the "old technology" is becoming the "new technology"! Margaret, you certainly exemplify an extraordinary agent. I am glad to hear about the success of this radio show. Sometimes, we think life begin and ends on the internet!
Radio has always been the best way of communicating with others as you're forced to listen to the dialogue without any distractions. Great Idea Rome. I look forward to seeing more of your posts.
Margaret ... thanks for this article about your Radio Days and Are You An Extraordinary Real Estate Professional? That still works. Best wishes to you in Maryland. Harrison
Margaret,
What a wonderful idea. Keep up the great work. Great idea for vacation/second home real estate markets as well such as ours at Deep Creek Lake. Best of luck,
Betsy
Margaret...I too would like to tune into the show, it sounds very interesting and energetic. Can you post the link? An open lot...what a great time to have a neighborhood picnic!
Sorry I missed the it but it sounds like a wonderful idea.
Hi Margaret! Your radio show sounds exciting! I will be going back to tape my 5th radio show tomorrow. I'm following in your footsteps as a re-occuring guest! Have a great week!
