      Tuesday’s are our company Sales Meeting. It’s quite the “work culture” win as we have 70-80% attendance from the company - and in a business where everyone in an independent contractor, that’s a Big win.

      Sadly, for the tour jacket, the meetings are where Leadership has to dress a little
      Fancy as we take photos with visitors from other Sotheby’s affiliates, new hires, and employees/staff with birthdays.

      I started the day just like any other (by going to the gym) and then came home to
      Get myself and the family ready.

      My mom got me this Hario Cold Bree maker and it’s amazing - and Japanese!

      Dressed for the occasion…

      Happy Campers in the way to school!

      Tunage for the ride to school

      After our sales meeting, my department meets with the owners to discuss new projects, newsletters, and budgets

      After our meetings, we toured a house that an agent I I locked up as a new listing for our company. A nice $5M house in Rosemary Beach three tiers off the sand. This one was built very progressively in 2012, and feels very “fresh,” - which is hard for these homes as they take. Beating from the Gulf and Salty air after only a few years.



      Contined…

        After RE-touring the Rosemary House, I headed back to my office on the East side of town.

        An agent expanded her team and moved into a full office, so I took over her old space by bringing my huge IMac lol - I’m only here 1 day per week, but this year I’ve striving to be here two days per week as it’s our highest grossing sales office and needs to most marketing support

        Aimee, our Ops assistant setting up my printer drivers 😉

        Although I am in a nice new routine in our new town, I do see the same people non-stop, so I’ve been trying to check out the CrossFit Gym nest my Eastern office.

        They had an adorable gym dog who loved playing catch

        Some bonus pics of the tour jacket

        Have a great day everyone!!!

            Wednesday’s are a real hump day for me, and usually end up being the busiest days for both my wife and I. It’s the first full day my team has during the week without a multi-hour meetings in the AM, so we have a tendency to be hustling all day.

            After coming back from the gym, I whipped up some coffee and breakfast. I’ve been on quite the Chemex Kick lately - thinking of even getting a small one for my office lol

            On days I work out, I make a Chocolate Kale
            Smoothie:
            1.5 cup kale
            10 oz almond milk
            1tbsp cocoa powder
            1 scoop collagen protein
            1tbsp MCT oil
            1/2 avocado
            2 tbsp peanut butter

            Heading to school

            This is my western office in Destin. It’s where my team works out of mostly, but has the least amount of agents at it - even though our highest producing team works out of here.

            My little cubicle in the float space

            Wednesday is also Avery’s ballet night, so I picked her up:)

            Changed [emoji1690]

            I let myself have 2-3 beers per week

            Made Keto chicken nuggets

            Bonus of Daphne sitting on the wife’s lap hoping to snag some chicken

            Have a great day everyone!

              That is… an interesting mix of flavors.

                Very much so @Chris … luckily it’s just tastes like chocolate and peanut butter for the most part...

                  Can’t believe we are already 9 days into January! Feels like 2020 is going to flash by…

                  Lil’ Miss helped me with the Chemex duties

                  Got to work and hit the ground running! I’ve felt behind the 8 ball all week

                  We have a new development that I’m having my team building marketing assets for, and we got approval for a very simple logo yesterday.
                  Here is the parapet of the front elevation

                  Here is the logo we did

                  My boss took me to lunch and showed me
                  How to make a burrito place keto lol

                  One of our owners is redoing an old school brick house and turning it from a 400 sf box to a 3,000 sq foot modern home. I’d like to feature it in our Spring Magazine, so went by to check out the progress

                  Came home and opened my Christmas present to myself!

                  Made dinner

                  Got the photos back from the new listing we toured the other day - his were far better than mine 🙂

                  Have an awesome Friday!

                    Converting a 400 sqft house into a 3000 sqft house? Wouldn't it be simpler to just tear it down and start over?

                      There might be zoning laws preventing that. A house in my town did something similar They had to keep one wall in tact

                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                          To be fair, it’s a cool angle - his dad was one of the original developers in town, so it’s a “rebirth” type story. I totally dig it.

                          Plus, our building costs are insane… starting with 400 sqft can save you 150k bucks...

                                We have homes that sell for $1400 per sq ft over here, so builders definitely take advantage!

                                      Sorry for the airwaves quiet, Friday was filled with routine doctors visits, so just getting back into normalcy!

                                      Been enjoying my new blender!

                                      Built block robots with the kiddos Saturday morning

                                      Continued my yard work from the weekend prior

                                      Multiple iced coffee breaks seeing that the weather was in the 70s(f) all weekend!

                                      Made “keto grilled cheese” with cauliflower rice - kinda odd but tasty none the less [emoji23]





                                      Cocktail time…

                                      Made homemade peanut butter

                                      Avery helped me clean up

                                      Sausage balls for breakfast [emoji1642]

                                      Took the kiddos to Alys beach for scooters and park time


                                      Cooked a brisket

                                      Washed the wife’s car

                                            Week of 01.13.2020

                                            So sorry for the lack of posts - this week has been one of the hardest at my new job, and the kiddos have been hell raisers! Please enjoy this dump of photos as my act of contrition 🙂

                                            On Monday I toured a new listing of ours - a massive 7k+ sq ft home sitting on the corner of a dune lake, overlooking the Gulf. It’s outdated and in no way a “hot” property, but I fell in love with its French country charm and no frills presence. In a market where people pay a premium for “turnkey,” this offers an opportunity for someone to experience a wonderful setting and truly outfit it as it’s own.

                                            On Tuesday I toured a very similar property, but in a different league. The emotional connection I had with this property was the most I have had since moving to 30A. If I was $5M richer, this one wouldn’t even hit market in two weeks…

                                            The wife and I are still having fun with making our keto meals. We made creamy pork chops that were to-die for.

                                            I enjoyed the last of my “birthday” mezcal from
                                            December (I turned 32 last month)

                                            I’ve been wearing the lefty as often as possible!

                                            My folks came into town this weekend from Dallas, so we fired up the grill and had a great dinner

                                            Had one of my favorite wines

                                            Rocking my sample 777-142

                                            Finished off with a new tequila - I give it a 6/10

                                            The kids are out of school for the next few days, so hopefully some adventures ensue 🙂

                                            Thanks for following along!
