Announcing --- Susan Albern our National Director coming July 26^th. We are trying to share this event with the Ft. Worth chapter in Arlington. We will keep you posted it should lock up soon. Location update Dave & Busters Walnut Hill and 75

“Call to Action” We need articles to submit to the Residential Resource.  Every one of our professionals has valuable information and experience to offer. The next deadline for the September/October is coming right up July 13^th.  There are no specific word counts or topic guidelines; anything that is interesting can be included.  This is a critical part of our point campaign to show NARPM Greater Dallas is on track to join the elite in NARPM chapters.  DETAILS  Some suggestions: [new city inspection policies, tenants who will buy, retaining tenants] Please respond to dave@dallasnarpm.org

Discussion subject:  What policies do you have on a Tenant refusing to allow the property to be shown the last 30 days of a lease? Are you taking deposit or what action do you do take?  Please send back your responses (reply to all) and we’ll add the answers to the website.  Our lawyer advises the way the lease is worded it is dubious to take it. We are looking for verbiage to protect ourselves

Efilosophy 101

 Ø       Stepping on peoples toes to get somewhere or something is the worst form of advancement.
Ø       Encroaching on Keller William’s secured agents to meet our ends is avoided at all costs, but we may gather force through them, with acknowledgement of the Team Leader and Team Coach. 
Ø       “We can have almost anything we want in life so long as it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.”
Ø       Team success is more important than individual accomplishment.
Ø       Said by many people in many different ways, “we are what we think about all day long.”
Ø       The difficulty of others is no reason to rejoice in personal success.  By definition of the Golden Rule, helping the other in difficulty is a measure of how successful we are.
Ø       We say what we do and do what we say.
Ø       Admit defeat, but never admit failure.  Keep going, keep trying.
Ø       Doing a little more each day than we think possible gives us a leg up on tomorrow’s accomplishments.
Ø       Go to the person with whom the difficulty lays, not someone behind that person’s back.
Ø       Answer the phone and don’t wait to make a call back.  The answer to the question and handling the concern now is less difficult that anticipating the digression of the caller’s attitude when we call them back next week.
Ø       It has been said, and is true, I believe.  “Two things that people desire more than money or sex are praise and recognition.”
Ø       Teamwork binds one to another, not unlike family ties.
Ø       Restoration of relationship is a matter of pardon, not a matter of who was right or who was wrong.
Ø       It is better to vent anger and frustration in a constructive way than to destructively blow off steam to anyone within earshot or getting drunk or kicking the cat.
Ø       The best friends are the ones who do the least talking and take the most action.
Ø       Jumping up and down and ranting over disaster is a sure fire way to smash the ideas that will help us rise above the adversity.
