I just had a conversation with one of the most important leaders in the real estate industry – a gentleman who has tens of thousands agents in many parts of the world. Without any knowledge of what of our Buffini initiatives for 2009 might be, he asked me what I was planning on doing for the first quarter of next year.

When I asked him why, he said he believed that the first four months of 2009 were as important as any time period in the last 20 years…that so many brokers and agents could continue to have long-standing careers in this industry if they could just find a way to have a good start to the year.

When I explained to him about the upcoming Buffini & Company Blitz, he almost shouted over the phone to me, “How can I get all my people involved in this?” to which I responded, “If they’re not Members we can't help them." I don’t tell you this to self-aggrandize our initiatives or myself but just to let you know how confirming it is when an industry leader affirmed our timing for the Blitz.

As a ClubNet or Referral Systems Member, this exclusive program is absolutely free for you to participate in. We’ve put a huge amount of our resources behind this because we want you to have a good first quarter, stay in business, build market share and be one of the great professionals who come out on the other side of this recession with a great business.

This is my Christmas gift to all of you.

It’s a good life!
