Giving Thanks and Looking on the Bright Side

Family, health, good friends — all things we’re thankful for this season. But we’d like to go a little beyond the usual and show some gratitude for items that may not seem like a blessing at first glance:

An inbox overflowing with emails waiting to be read. That’s just what happens when you’re busy and people seek out your expert advice! Make your inbox a bit more manageable with these tips.

You need another oil change. Does it seem like you just had the oil changed? Maybe you need another one because you’ve been showing LOTS of houses all throughout Houston! Isn’t it great to live in one of the nation’s top real estate markets?

Take-out…again. Has it been a while since you’ve had a home-cooked dinner? That’s just what happens when you’re crazy busy at work! And luckily, the Houston area is teeming with excellent restaurants. Why not try one of the Houston Chronicle’s top 100 restaurants next time you need to pick up dinner?  

Low battery life on your phone already? No, there’s nothing wrong with your phone’s battery. It’s just that you’ve been talking all day to buyers, sellers, other agents, builders, colleagues and maybe even one of our helpful Realtor relations team members! No need to cut down on your phone time — instead, consider one of these top-rated chargers.

You’re feeling a bit sleep-deprived. Been getting up early and going to bed late? Congratulations on putting in a full day! Yes, the schedule can at times be grueling as you take care of work and family, but good job on getting it all done. And it only takes a couple nights of restful sleep to get caught up. Here are 17 tips for better sleep.

You have no idea where to put your latest award. That’s just what happens when you’re at the top of your game — you have to put another trophy cabinet in your office!

We hope you’re able to step away from your busy schedule as an awesome real estate agent to spend quality time with family and friends this Thanksgiving. We know that as we count our blessings this year, we’ll be thinking of each of you! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
