Let’s Hear It for Experience
By John N. Frank
REALTOR® magazine is in the midst of producing another exciting look at young talent in the real estate business, our annual 30 Under 30 report scheduled to be published in June. And this year, we’re not stopping there.
The June issue also will include an article we’re tentatively calling Fabulous at 50+. As a 50+ editor I’m feeling really good about this project. It’s easy once you get past that fifth decade to sometimes feel over-the-hill as you watch many friends and coworkers come and go from your professional and private lives. This article will remind everyone how vital and successful we can be, at any age.
We’re looking for real estate pros 50-year-old and older
who not only have achieved long-term success in their careers but also have actively mentored and brought along young talent to keep the profession a growing and vital one.
We need your help to find candidates for Fabulous at 50+. If you think you have what it takes to be considered, send me an e-mail (jfrank@realtors.org) telling me why. If you work with or for someone you think fits the bill, let me know why.
Talk about how you’ve maintained success over a long period of time, how your strategies have changes over the years (if at all), what advice/help you give young proteges, and what benefits you derive from mentoring.
Be as specific as possible please. I expect a lot of nominees and we’re planning to feature five in our story.
I can’t wait to hear from you. Let’s show those youngsters what they should aspire to become when they grow up!.
