I have been working very hard on developing my real estate business - and that of the entire firm - this last year. Recently I added video to my marketing mix and launched
GreenSpaces TV on YouTube.
In the process of growing my own business I also have birthed a new company that will focus on managing social media presence for real estate agents and other small businesses or nonprofits. I have many sleepless nights (or wakeful mornings) churning out new ideas and concepts for where to go with this new venture - or something new to do a video about.
My biggest challenge has been trying to find time to sit behind my computer at home after sitting behind one at the office all day to get new videos posted. I am learning Windows Movie Maker and am getting more comfortable with it but it has been slow going. It's not something I can sit down and slam out so I feel like I don't have enough time in the morning to do it before heading out for the day and when I get home at night (sometimes after 7 PM) I just don't feel like doing it. All of this is going to change come November 1st.
I work with a
great team of specially educated professionals at my company,
GreenWorks Realty.I am very committed to this firm. This year I took over the operations management and marketing strategies for the company in addition to being a full time agent. We are going through a diversification process and I will be opening a small Operations Center in West Seattle at the end of the month. I am very excited to be working closer to home while expanding the social media presence of the company, starting with our
fan page on Facebook.
My personal life and my professional life really merged a year ago when I joined GreenWorks Realty. Since 2001 Steve and I have been "going green", long before there was even a term like that in existence. In an effort to eat healthier, be healthier, and live longer, we have fine tuned our lifestyle to be mostly organic and with our thoughts going to "how will this impact the environment?" before every purchase or every action (except for purchasing the 50" plasma TV in 2007 - there just was no arguing its quality superiority over LCD and it was a compromise we made). It has been great to reduce our consumption, an added benefit is saving money, and even better is we send little to no packaging to the landfill these days.
Please check out
my green blog since that is where I am most. On the right hand side you will also find links to my Twitter and Facebook activity, where I spend a lot of time also, connecting with old friends or making new ones.
Have a fabulous day!
