The saying a fish rots from the head down comes to mind.
Some of our greatest and most effective leaders in history, claim that their success is a direct result of surrounding themselves with talented people.
I will argue that there is no… place for mediocrity in real estate; we are intrusted with too valuable of a product to accept anything less than great!!
Unfortunately, there are people who use "fogging the mirror" as their hiring criteria. The real estate industry Is not for everyone. It is a great industry for those who truly want to help their clients and satisfy their client's real estate needs – as my Grandfather told me, "don't worry about the money, take care of your clients and the money will follow."
Thankfully, I learned my business philosophy from great teachers like my Mother and Grandfather. They were honest and hard working real estate agents, who gave their all to their clients, understood their fiduciary responsibility and took their job seriously!!

Hey Ken — I learned early on what you say here is true. The majority of people on my various teams are brighter than I am, hands down. There are several times yearly when that comes directly into play. Good stuff.
