Now that the “World Traveler’ has returned, we can get stuck into some serious blogging with all our friends out there.
It was such a pity to wipe off the white board for march and its going to take a while for Dalena and I to add up our End of Month as a result of such a busy month. Our staff have already started queuing at Dalena’s door as we pay out our quarterly profit sharing bonuses on the 9th of this month and it’s going to be smiles all round after such a busy March quarter.
Miguel and I are thrilled with the progress our company is making and just this week, we have sold millions of dollars worth of property in what has, “Been Another Big Week in Real Estate.’
April has started extremely well and everybody is hard at it. I seemed to be in the car most of the day yesterday as I had appointments in Floreat, Westminster, Subiaco, Beeliar and finished the day signing off a home in Bertram with the vendors who live in Madora Bay. Yes, it’s busy, yes, it’s rushing all around the place but it’s so much fun being part of a great young team that are building a magnificent business.
I’ve completed our weekly one on ones with our Sales Team and now I’ve got to get organised for an auction tomorrow in Hilton. It’s a good little property and should go well as it can be subdivided into two lots.
Managements continue to stream into the company and it will be most satisfying doing our report for March as we continue to grow and exceed our targets.
Now with all that talk out there about the G20 and world financial markets, our very own resident economist, Mr. Peter Vinci believes he has found the solution to the world’s problems.
Here Peter explains a recent example of how to deal with investment banking and hence solve the world’s financial crisis.
Peter’s young son Rocky, moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, ’Sorry, Rocky, but I have some bad news. The donkey died.’ Rocky replied, ’Well, then just give me my money back.’ The farmer said, ’Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.’ Rocky said, ’OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.’ The farmer asked, ’What ya gonna do with a dead donkey?’ Rocky said, ’I’m going to raffle him off.’ The farmer said ’You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!’ Rocky said, ’Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’
A month later, the farmer met up with Rocky and asked, ’What happened with that dead donkey?’ Rocky said, ’I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00.’ The farmer said, ’Didn’t anyone complain?’ Rocky said, ’Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.’
Rocky now works for Morgan Stanley.
Got to go now and get back to the serious business of building De Freitas & Ryan Property Consultants so I’ll catch you again next week after, “Another Big Week in Real Estate.’
