Auto restoration, real estate, diet… whatever.

It’s all about building the system, examining the system, testing the system…

and doing it all over again…

and again… and again.

I am building a Jeepster/Commando from the ground up.  Currently I am building a frame.  I know that in order to get it right, I will put it all together, and then I will take it back apart… several times.

I do the same thing with real estate.  Is that an admission of imperfection?  Absolutely.  But, I do it more often than most.  Most sellers (or buyers) only go through the process a few times in their lives.  And they are spread out.  So, the conditions that they operate in are often not comparable.  Testing and getting a meaningful result isn’t practical.  In effect, when people choose to buy or sell without representation, they are re-inventing the wheel.

As a professional, I do it a bunch of times each year.  So, I can build a system to sell property.  I can test the system.  I can rebuilding it for the next time. And it will be tested again.

If someone tells you they have a perfect system… think about that for a few minutes.  Perfect?  Really?  There is always a way to make it a little better…
