I thought it would be fun to give away two lift tickets and an overnight stay at our condo in Alyeska.  It's right at the base of Chair 3 so you can walk out the door and catch the lift.  If you would like to be entered to win, email me at Kristan@KristanCole.com  and I will enter you to win.  I will be drawing for the winner on February 21. 

Every year we have our open house and give away our trip for two to Mexico.  Our Open House will be February 28th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  Come and join us for some Mexican food and help us celebrate with the winners of this year's trip.  Should be good timing.  If you are like me, January and February are when I could really use some sunshine.  Two lucky people are going to get some.  Don't worry we will have some other prizes also.  See you then.  Call me at 373-3575 if you need directions.

I was humbled, but thrilled when The Grainger Leadership Institute presented me with a leadership award at their annual event honoring those professionals that most personify the qualities of leadership in business.   

“The winner of this award stands tall among even the most accomplished in her industry. Her ability to inspire her team stems from a deep commitment to over-serve her clients. I am very impressed with her understanding of group dynamics and her commitment to delivering a higher standard through the power of team work. These qualities have earned Kristan Cole the 2007 GLI Team Builder of the Year Award.”  Mark Grainger  Click Here

 

I just returned from Dallas where I taught a course to other Realtors from across the country on Team Training and Systems Implementation.  Whenever I teach a class I think I always learn more than the attendees do.  I found myself excited to come home and work on some systems within our own team in order to provide better customer service to all of you.  That's what its all about....exceeding expectations.  Here is a photo of me and some of the attendees. 

Reminder--- Email me to sign up for the FREE giveaway is for tickets for two to the Alaska Native Heritage Center along with a book from the center; great for friends and family that will be visiting this summer.  Also a two gift cards for $20 to North Star Bakery just down the street from me here in Wasilla.  Email me no later than January 14^th to be entered to win.  Also don’t forget about our warm coats—warm hearts coat drive for children.  Drop off at our office anytime this month.

If you are thinking of listing your home in the spring, now is the time to start cleaning up and clearing out the clutter so you’ll be good to go in 2008!  I wrote a “State of the Real Estate Market” article for the Frontiersman newspaper that comes out at the end of the month.  This is good information for anyone looking to sell in 2008 or anyone just wanting to know the real facts about the residential real estate market.
