Behind Every Successful Agent There is a ________!

I am sure that all of you readers could fill in the blank above with a great answer!

There are so many possibilities. Believe me, with over 50 interviews (56 to date to be exact) with Houston’s top real estate producers who have made it to the cover), I could think of at least 20 that have been mentioned in the cover interview. The first seven that come to mind from those interviews are a great team, a strong mentor/coach relationship, a great brand, continuing education, a strong support system, written goals, a strong work ethic, etc.

This month’s cover honoree, Marion Franke has them all and one more….her wonderful husband, Bruce a/k/a “Big Daddy!”. Bruce has always been an important business team member serving as the man behind the woman. Bruce regularly takes time away from his business in the oil and gas industry to manage the time consuming financial responsibility of The Franke Team. Marion is the first person to recognize Bruce’s dedication to support her in every possible way from catering to her clients, to putting in hours at home when she is working around the clock to make a sale. By the way, that IS Bruce on the tractor behind her on the cover at their Moran Ranch (note the “M” on the gate and the “WE” brand above it.). Bruce is right behind Marion all the way! Hence the cover.

I don’t think that any of you would disagree, that having a supportive (or at least understanding) spouse is a “blessing” in more ways than one.

I had the opportunity to get to know Bruce during the cover photo shoot at the ranch, which has been in Bruce’s family for over 65 years. What a great guy! It’s no wonder Marion loves and appreciates him so much.

Finally, from our family to yours, have a wonderful, safe and happy Thanksgivng!

As always, good reading and good sales!

Success to You!
