There are so many things to be thankful for in this world. I am thankful to wake up every morning and to go to sleep each night. Thankful for a warm and cozy bed to snuggle into and dream the night away
Thankful to have been in Selling Real Estate since 1985. Going through all the different changing markets. I have made wonderful relationships along the way. Most of all I had the privilege to be introduced to clients that entrusted me to either sell their house or find them a house. These experiences have been full of fun and learning experiences. Either way, many of my clients have become repeat business and friends. I have been blessed.
Thinking back I remember having to pay my dues and sit to do what is called opportunity time or floor time. Where you sit in the office and answer the phones when calls come in from signs and ads. You then would talk to people and hopefully convert them into your clients. You may have the chance to do this a few times a week for a few hours a day. It would really depend on the size of your office on how often or how long you would sit floor time
Thankful to have had a good team to work with. A mortgage banker who knew their stuff. They would also need to be assessable to be sure your clients were qualified to purchase a home. You also needed to check their credit. That is essential and extremely important.
To all my clients I appreciate you more than words can say
Thank you for all the trust you have bestowed on me
- You are the heart of my Real Estate business
- You come back to me each time you are ready to buy or sell
- You call me for advice which I am proud to give
- You send your family and friends to me
- You make me smile every time I hear your voice on the phone
Then there are the phone calls that say you may not remember me but: Of course, I do every one of my clients -I am truly blessed
Thank you one and all I appreciate every minute we spent together and looking forward to many more phone calls, sales, and good times together
Please stay well this year and together we will fight this dreadful COVID19

Hi there, Hannah Williams Last night, around 2:00 AM, I couldnt stop my mind from wandering. In meditation, the thoughts kept creeping back in - finally I started focusing on all of the things I'm grateful for in life. Guess what? I fell back to sleep. It works! Counting blessings works better than counting sheep. :) Happy Sunday to you. D
Hannah,
What a beautiful heartfelt post. I enjoyed reading it. Wishing you a beautiful Sunday. A
Hi Hannah Williams - The video was really informative. The science of Gratitude pays dividends! I still do Floor Time a couple of times a month. I am sure that your clients are very loyal and trust your sound judgment.
Hi Hannah... great post, great little video. I get those calls, too, that start with a past client "reintroducing" themselves to me. Since I touch all my past clients at least two dozen times a year in various ways, it's always fascinating to me that they think I don't remember them.
Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD We have so much to be grateful for and if we focus on the positive instead of the negative we will enjoy life and those around us so much more
Ron and Alexandra Seigel So glad you enjoyed it as it was heartfelt my clients are so important to me. I am so grateful for each and every one of them .Have a Happy Sunday
Sheri Sperry - MCNE® Our clients are the heart of our business the soul. I am so grateful in the trust they have bestowed in me to find them a home
Hannah I agree. As we mature in life we come to realize more and more how blessed we are for each morning we wake up to a new morning.
Nina Hollander Many of those calls are from clients I may have sold 20 or 30 years ago but each person holds a special place in my heart as I am sure they do in yours also. We are blessed to be in this profession.
George Souto Yes you are so right. Especially in this new age of COVID19. We must be thankful and thoughtful of each other. Happy Sunday
Hey Hannah! Having sold in '85 I am also thankful we no longer have 16% fixed interest rates. Make it a great day!
Rocky Dickerson We have seen all the different markets and seen all shifts. Buyers and seller's markets - low and high interests rates - Happy Sunday
Good Sunday afternoon, Hannah.
Take care, be safe and have an outstanding week.
Roy Kelley Thank you Happy Sunday and a good week to you and Dolores
marti garaughty I am so honored and delighted to be Featured in your GROUP
Thank You
Hannah Williams - What a good education and informative post about gratitude. You knocked this one out of the park!
By the way, I'm thankful you are on AR and I still remember having our phone conversation. You were very helpful and wise.
Thank you, Hannah.
Absolutely beautiful post Hannah Williams ! It's a lovely 'thank you' letter to your clients....love it!
Hello Hannah - I, too, remember floor or opportunity time. It seemed like so many years ago(because it was, haha) but those days are a fond memory of which there are many in real estate. You have captured many highlights from a long and successful career which has certainly been hit hard this past year but you continue to not just survive but thrive.
Good evening Hannah Williams ,
I love this post! You are indeed blessed and so grateful in as Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker says "Your Thank You" letter to your clients. Lovely!
Hi Hannah:
What a joyful post about gratitude and your clients! Loved the short video!
Thanks for your entry.
Jeff
It is the trusting clients that are the backbone of our profession. After 39 years in this business, I am still in contact, and friends with a few of my very first clients.
CONGRATULATIONS Hannah, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!
Hi Hannah- what a wonderful post!!!! You can feel the gratitude that you have and it definitely shows.
Don't you love those past client phone calls. "You probably don't remember me, but you sold me a house in...." Of course we remember. And they always seem shocked.
Oh, this is SO you, Hannah! I love this and love the video too. You ROCK! 💕
Howdy Hannah Williams we're truly blessed in so many way's from living life. Loved your blog post and your dedication and respect for being blessed. Have yourself a safe, warm, healthy Thanksgiving.
I love the clients that you describe and if all of my clients would be like that, life might be easy, haha.
What a wonderful gratitude post. I hope many of your clients see it!
Hannah, we had floor time 20 years ago too, and picked up one family that so far I have done 24 transactions with! Our clients make our business successful! Great post.
Hello Miss Hannah Williams - Oh Floor Time ... that took me back to the stone ages (LOL). Great vides on Gratitude. Happy to know YOU!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey sista,
The Attitude of Gratitude is definitely good for our health on many levels. I don't think either of us are in any danger of losing that! Have an awesome day!

Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker That means so much to me that you think so. I so value your opinion

Hey sista Carol Williams It feels good to express the gratitude we feel for others
Hope to see you at our Zoom meeting tomorrow
Hannah Williams - Gratitude should always be sincere and I know that is something you practice.
When I think about Floor Time from the previous Franchise it makes me glad I don't do it anymore and that I left the company. Our business is forever changing!
I wish you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving and may the rest of the year give you many reasons to be grateful, happy, and excited about life in general.
I remember "opportunity time" -- sitting at the front of the office, waiting for a walk in or phone call inquiry. I actually made a few sales that way!
Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP You are so sweet and we are due for our phone call
Mary Hutchison, SRES, ABR I also made several sales from floor time and made wonderful connections
Wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday
Congratulations, Hannah, on your feature recognition.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the text yesterday Hannah, and hope your day is filled with joy. Happy Thanksgiving.
Roy Kelley Thank you and hope you and Dolores have a wonderful Holiday
Joan Cox You are welcome and wishing you a wonderful Holiday weekend
It only takes one to make my day and I am blessed with handfuls of great and grateful clients
Happy Friday Hannah Williams
Good Saturday morning, Hannah.
Take care, be safe and have an outstanding weekend.
Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS That makes for a wonderful year ahead - Have a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend
Hannah Williams like you I have always been grateful for the simple things in life but most important....getting up in the morning:) seriously too much energy is wasted about complaining and the returns are no where as rewarding than being grateful...Hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving, Endre
