Congratulations to First Story Real Estate Tallahassee FL

He never needed to tell stories about his life, he taught me everything by example, but those stories were his way of telling us all how he became the man he was. We all have mentors in life, in business, as parents. Mine was my dad.

There were many times I noticed the bleeding hands, cuts, bruises and the way he walked with sore muscles and right through his fatigue. Not once, do I remember him saying he was tired, in pain, or worn out. Instead, he talked about what he had accomplished that day or the day before. That’s how I remember my dad. That’s probably why I work so hard too, I know no other way to be, but like him.

First Story Real Estate will soon celebrate our 1st anniversary. Not only will we celebrate a year in business, but we celebrate our hard work that paid off for us this year. We celebrate all that we learned, every cut and bruise and every completed transaction for all involved. Realtors often measure their success by production dollars, the total dollars of real estate brokered per agent, per company, etc. We met our production goals, competing with hundreds of competitive brokers after only 8 months of operation in 2014. Half of our office placed in the Top 5% this year and we managed to do that with all the startup activity needed to launch First Story. These sales goals were reached after working long hours. For 100% commissioned employees, that means we simply worked, and we worked hard to acheive the trust of our customers. We lost some too. We learned from those that we lost. We count that knowledge gained also as success.

However…. our true success came in many different ways. This year we donated over 5% of our production to charities that helped Veterans, our homeless, breast cancer charities, and community schools. Those gifts of money are the goals we want to break next year. We want to continue to give more often, to fill a need when we can, and to be a part of helping others succeed, helping feed those who are hungry and housing those who need shelter. Our goals are to continue paying it forward in 2015.

“Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
– Saint Francis of Assisi

We thank all those who believe that at First Story Real Estate Company.
