Over the last couple days, I have been doing a lot of reflection on 2008 - from both a personal perspective and a business perspective.
In 2008, I personally:
- turned 30 years old
- recovered from a bad car accident at the end of 2007 (still working on that one)
- perfected my fly fishing casting technique
- made several new friends
- became an active member of the Junior League of Sacramento (was a provisional member in 2007)
- watched my SF Giants get their butts kicked, but on a bright note saw Tim Lincecum win the NL Cy Young award, and a hometown boy Dustin Pedroia win the AL MVP
- watched my alma mater, Casa Roble High School, win its Section in football, and watched another local team, Grant High School win state
- started doing a weekly radio show
- spent more time with my mom
- starting having weekly dinners with my brother and dad
In 2008, in business I:
- qualified for the Sacramento Association of Realtors "Master's Club" again - and met the requirement for the entire year by the mid-June
- qualified as a Lyon Real Estate "Senior Executive Associate" based on my production
- as of the end of November, I was ranked #48 in my entire company (out of something like 900 agents)...not sure what my final ranking will be just yet
- Was the #1 Listing Agent of the Month in my office of +/- 100 agents three separate times
- successfully negotiated and closed 5 short sale listings, and have written lender approval for others that will close in 2009
- 53.74% of my earnings, and 14 closed real estate transactions resulted from my internet presence (someone finding me online via google, one of my websites, my blog, etc.)
- 33.77% of my earnings, and 10 closed transactions resulted from referrals
- submitted my application to take my Department of Real Estate broker exam
- was quoted for different media articles regarding real estate
- attended SAR's 100th Anniversary celebration
- graduated from the first SAR "Leadership Development Series"
- was a speaker at SAR on numerous "top producer" panels
- helped raise almost $6,000 for charitable causes through different SAR fundraisers
- was appointed as the Vice Chair of the SAR "Young Professionals Council" for 2009
