Happy day in the life of a Broker Manager!

As some of you know by now, I run and own a very small office and it has been my goal to slowly grow and build a great team of agents. And as of today, there are now five of us! ... While hiring agents is nothing unusual for broker managers, today has been very special for me. The wonderful lady that joined us is one of two people who have influenced my real estate career the most. It was her and our former office manager who I learnt a great deal from and I will be always very appreciative of her being such a great mentor to me when I first started in real estate! .

Jan, thank you for being such a great person and welcome to Mipeco Realty!

PS: I just wanted to share my excitment ... :-)

We spent all day today at a Broker Management class that's now a mandatory class for Broker license renewal and I come back, fire up the computer and see all this white, black and blue?

Member Since '03	Mipeco Realty, Inc - Michaela Krestenic, Broker-Owner said: Shelly, you're right. It's very hard to look at it for more than just a few moments. At least my eyes don't like it. Where do we voice opinion on this one? On the message board? September 14, 2007 6:48 AM
Member Since '07	Shelly Constantz said: I think they are having "technical difficulties" again... My was this way yesterday, then I logged out and went away, when I came back it was normal again, then this morning... back again. At least while they are busy fixing this, they can't be watching us!! While the cats away... the mice will play : ) shelly September 14, 2007 6:55 AM

Member Since '03	Gene Carey said: Michaela - Congrats on your growing pains :-) Jan's name sounds familiar (looked at your site) and I may know her. Wishing you lots of success! On a local note I see your homepage has a paragraph that says "Use our FREE MLS home search" which MLSNI will have a problem with. :-( I'm still waiting for an answer from them regarding my URL. Tomorrow is the deadline for doing a redirect but I refuse to go along with it. September 14, 2007 8:55 PM
Member Since '04	Sarah Phelps, Broker Asc., ABR said: Michaela, I agree...I am also very excited to have Jan on our team now too. She was an inspiration to me also at our "former" company and I'm excited to continue working with her at Mipeco! Maybe Relib has decided to adopt our "former" company's new color scheme? I prefer the old blue color to the plain look it has now. September 14, 2007 10:01 PM
Member Since '03	Mipeco Realty, Inc - Michaela Krestenic, Broker-Owner said: Gene, I'm actually still working on getting rid of the MLS wording. I had a lot of hidden pages where I had to delete it as well. But am almost done now. I wouldn't be surprised if you knew Jan. I just added her to the roster. Sarah, I just got a website set up for Jan ... now we have to get her to post on Relib ... our Northern Illinois Relib crowd is growing once again! September 15, 2007 10:04 PM
