I Do Not Practice – I Am Good!

Leave a comment

MultiCultural Realty is now Dakota Scott Realty.  Still me, Michael Harrell, broker and owner, doing my one-man real estate brokerage.  That allows me to focus my time and attention on my clients, not on managing other agents.  So I guess you’d have to say I have a real estate practice.

That reminds me of a story my brother once told me about a fellow who came into his business in California.  My brother didn’t recognize the fellow as a regular customer, so he greeted him and struck up a conversation.  The fellow spoke good English, but with a heavy accent, and English was obviously not his first language.  During their conversation my brother asked the fellow what he did – he said he was a doctor of some sort.  My brother said, “oh, do you have a practice?” to which the fellow immediately responded, “I do not practice.  I am good!”

Well, after over 20 years in real estate, I hope I am not practicing, I do think I am good, but I’ll be the first to say that I’m constantly learning – every day.  This business is not dull and boring; changes happen on a daily basis.

My job, and the value I bring to you as a client, is to keep up on those changes and help you navigate the home buying or home selling process successfully.  Being a sole practitioner and not an office manager allows me to give you the highest level of service possible, which, I believe, is what you are looking for in a real estate broker.

Habesha Girl Eating Gas Station Hot Dog – now that’s Multicultural!

Hey, Bro – Are You MultiCultural?

Leave a comment

Wait a minute, buddy.  What are you doing at this blog site?  It’s for the multicultural – are you?

Some people think to be multicultural you’ve got to “Look” the part - African American, or Asian, or Latino, or some other selected nationality.  Well, folks of those nationalities certainly are multicultural, but not because of their skin color or their DNA.

Here’s a comprehensive 30-second self-test to see if you do indeed qualify as multicultural:

1)      I have my own set of thoughts, ideas, practices, and habits about how I fit into the world

2)      I’ve been influenced by my parents and even by my ancestors, who had their own sets of thoughts, ideas, practices, and habits about how they fit into the world

3)      I’ve also been influenced by other people (not just my family) who have their own sets of thoughts, ideas, practices, and habits about how they fit into the world

4)      Out of all this I have developed my own culture, which in essence is a unique mix of all of the above

If you answered “Yes” to these statements, well then, I guess you’re not mono-cultural, which can only mean you must be multi-cultural.  Yep, pretty much covers all of us.  Welcome to the multicultural club!

So what’s MultiCultural Realty?  You got it – it’s for anyone and everyone!  No limits or restrictions, no guidelines or qualifications.  Real estate services for, well … just the multicultural among us.
