Lazy day in East Hampton. I have a referral looking for a rental out here for the month of July. I ound some good option in the database and sent her some good options. If she wants to see any of them, then I will be taking out my first customer out here. That would be exciting. But since nothing is booked so far and I haven't heard back from her yet, yoga at 4:30 is on my agenda for today. I did just get a call from one of my property managers in Manhattan and we have two new no fee rental exclusives to pick up keys for. That's good. I emailed my agents who are hopefully hard at work today unlike their boss! Ha. June has been super busy so far in the NYC rental market. It's typically one of our busiest months and this year is no different. It's quite a relief. We have rented apartments this month on first showings (hats off to my agent Iruka who just did this on one of our Murray Hill listings) and we've gotten calls from other agents to show our exclusives claimingto have customers who need to rent an aprtment today, or have just lost out on other apartments they applied for a missed to someone else. These are great signs of a healthy rentals market. Last night I was watching TV and came across this random show called the Oprah Effect. They were showing small businesses that took off in extraordinary ways because Oprah endorsed them as one of her favorite things. I don't know if she ever endorsed a Real Estate company before. I know she likes woman owned businesses and businesses that were started at home. So now of course I have this fantasy that someone I can get Adina Equities endorsed by Oprah. We are unique. All our business comes from referrals and exclusives. I started my business when I was only 27. I'm thinking between my dog in my marketing and my pink website, our charitable work etc, maybe there would be some aspect of my company that she would really like. I have to look into this! When there's a will, there's a way. I'm off to yoga! Maybe during meditation I will think of a good idea for approaching Oprah...Om... To be continued.
