I am sitting and reading my favorite paper, in my favorite Orange Park FL coffee house.  On the Week in Review page there is a wonderful headline:  "Quality Today-Success Tomorrow".  This is from the New York Times, and once a week I sit and relish the news from all over.

However, this struck me as very interesting.  It is an article about the Toyota situation, which I am happy to say our local Jacksonville FL Toyota dealerships have taken grasp of and forged ahead on.  Back to the article.  It states the following:

"Life, goes the cliche, is just high school writ large, and in the senior class of automakers, Toyota was the straight-A student who wrecked the curve for everyone......The performance didn't just make Toyota look great; it made rivals look daft......"  

and goes on to say that Detroit looked at their auto-makers and asked the proverbial 'why can't you be more like that!'

I want to be the Toyota of the Realtor world, without the faulty brake pedal of course.  I want to wreck the curve and give such exceptional customer service that they come back for more year after year!  I want to ensure that in the search for a home sweet home-my headline screams 'Quality Today-Success Tomorrow'!  I want my career to be a testimony to YOU, the buyer and seller, who needs my education, skill, care, and diligence to have a smooth transaction.

At the end of my career I want the epitaph to read:  served well.  enjoyed the ride.  had no rivals, only co-compatriots!  And yes, all lower case! 

And, as a buyer, isn't that what you want?  An agent that wants to be so amazing that your goals and wants come first?

It's getting late here in Jacksonville, and it is time to relax and stop for the day!  But before I do----a special thank you to my new 'future home owner' with whom I viewed homes with tonight!  Had a blast, and enjoyed spending time laughing and chatting wih you.  Good stuff----
