13) Howard “Hoddy” Casey & Helen Hanna Casey, Chairman & CEO, Howard Hanna Real Estate Services
“I think you have to have growth for individuals. If you want money to come in, it is really tough to keep the business the same. One of your goals has to be that you want your company and employees to expand and grow. In our case, it has been to go to other states and enable people to move there. But you can’t just bring four people in to do the job you’ve done yourself. You have to look at the talents of your people and decide how they can help expand the business. That goes back to communication—being able to sit at your dinner table and discuss these things without arguing, but also sit in a boardroom or in an office and do the same thing.” (Vol 5 , Issue 1)
17) Dottie Herman, President & CEO, Douglas Elliman Real Estate
” The worst that can happen is someone says no. But I think a lot of people are afraid to fail, or can’t handle rejection, so they don’t even try. People who never fail have never tried anything, but the people that are successful failed many times. Successful people pick themselves up, maybe have a good cry, and then get back in the ring. I learned at a young age not to be afraid of failing and I think that’s a big part of what holds people back. They listen to others tell them they’re not going to make it. I can’t tell you how many people told me I’d never be where I am today.” (Vol 4, Issue 6)

26) Pam O’Connor, President & CEO, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World
“Don’t worry about what you can’t control. Real estate is full of “Chicken Littles” singing a “sky is falling” theme. There is always a “lion coming over the hill,” whether it is dot-com competitors or disruptive business models or a new superstar agent. Focus on what YOU do and do it with a passion. Embrace your circumstances, whether it’s being an underdog or defending your #1 position.” (Vol 5, Issue 2)
89) Michael Saunders, Founder & CEO, Michael Saunders & Co.
“My advice to real estate agents today is to embrace the traditional as well as the useful advancements in technology to enhance their businesses. Be social in the true sense of the word by going to lunch with your customers or calling to share local market updates, and the next time you sit down to compose a thank you message, step away from the keyboard and write it by hand on a note card. The impact you will have is far greater than anything you could accomplish with 140 characters.” (Upcoming Issue)
114) Teresa King Kinney, CEO, Miami Association of Realtors
“Construction cranes in Downtown Miami and throughout South Florida help tell the story of a fast-growing population center and global business hub. Miami’s skyline—a visual marvel with awe-inspiring, high-rise buildings overlooking the Atlantic—has changed more rapidly than any other American city. Global investment from an array of countries have helped fuel the development.” (Vol 5, Issue 2)
149) Janet Branton, SVP Commercial and Global, National Association of Realtors
“Global real estate has been and will continue to be a constantly shifting landscape; of that we can be sure. Current events continue to shape country economies, impacting capital flow and global markets. Five years ago, America’s economy was in the throes of a recession and foreign investment was the lifeblood of many local real estate markets. Now, the American dollar is stronger than most world currencies and is a more expensive destination to buy and own property. Yet, it remains one of the world’s most popular destinations to purchase real estate.” (Vol 5, Issue 2)
