Mastering my Business in Pebble Beach

"The Business of You"
“The Business of You”

Yesterday in Pebble Beach, I joined a group of fantastic women representing a wide range of professions for a great seminar.

As a realtor with 29 years of real estate sales experience I never stop learning – in fact I was recently nicknamed the Education Advocate of my Alain Pinel Realtors-Carmel office. (I wonder why?) Well, here I go again, spreading the word about another great educational opportunity.

The seminar was called, “Mastering the Business of You” and was presented by two amazing women, Marion Gellatly and Mary Jeanne Vincent.  Marion, a style and image expert, discussed the power of our brand, how we determine what our “brand” is, and how we are communicating visually with our clients. Mary Jeanne, a career coach and expert on Linkedin, taught us Negotiation skills and how to use LinkedIn to put our best online image forward. This was the first time they had teamed up to do a class together and it was a winner!

I highly recommend this seminar for any professional person who wants to update and upgrade their image online and person to person.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

happy st patrick's day

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

May you always have…
enough luck to make you smile,
enough trials to keep you strong,
enough of all life’s treasures
to keep you truly happy.

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

Everyone is Irish on St.Patrick’s Day.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Everyone!

As I sit in our #Alain Pinel Realtors office on the corner of Dolores and Ocean I have many visitors come by and ask . . . can you still buy a little vacation cottage in Carmel for #under a million?  I answer, “Yes, but there are not a lot of them at any given time.”  You have to watch for them as they come up and act quickly – particularly if it is a charming little cottage.  If this is your goal, let’s talk and plan.

Sometimes these homes are not very large . . . but to have a place to lay your head at night, does it really need to be?
