Bob’s experience
The award winning real estate agent, Bob Blake started his career as a teacher in elementary school, but always had an interest in real estate. Some of the techniques he used and developed over his 15 years of teaching are still used today in his real estate practice. Surely, his career in this industry become more than a passion.
His keys to success
"For the first three years I ate, slept, and breathed real estate and my personal life was kept to a minimum. I still am convinced that approach will lead to success" – Bob Blake. Bob’s Wife, Gail, did and still does everything to support her husband's dreams. The typical work/life balance can lead someone who wants to be successful in a new field, to become overwhelmed when wanting to please everyone. Having someone by your side who understands and helps you achieve your goals is the best way to find a personal balance. In 2021, Bob and his wife Gail, celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary celebration!
Also, "Teaching is really selling concepts to the kids, but more importantly, selling yourself. Success came when the kids bought me and what I had to say then they bought the concepts I was teaching.I had my eye on working in real estate several years before I left teaching and trusted translating those teaching skills to real estate sales" – Bob Blake.
