Aventura & Sunny Isles Beach Luxury Real Estate

This business is totally about product and service. Now the product can be sold by many different people but the service you receive is unique to each individual. Some are professional, some are successful at closing deals, and some are available when you need them. Sid Koslovsky is all of the above. Now this writer is defi nitely biased but the fact of the matter is I am an expert when it comes to Sid. You see with the exception of golf (of which I want no part) I know everything about his work ethic, how much he truly loves this business (even when no deals were happening,) and how far he will go to make a deal close. He is a stickler for returning calls and has no patience for agents who don’t. He will negotiate at any hour of the day or night and for the sake of the deal will even miss a card game. We make a great team as we have learned over the years what we each do best. Integrity is paramount and he frowns on everyone who does not stand behind what they do or say. His name is everything to him and he could never, never do anything that might tarnish his reputation or good name. It is his pleasure to work with realtors who truly treat this arena of buying and selling real estate professionally. This is a very hard time to be in this business. The responsibility you take on to sell someone’s home or help another make a home purchase is crucial. Not many have the fl air, intensity, and finesse that Sid does to make it look easy but put in so many hours that would leave others weak. Just the other day he remarked to me how much he loves what he does each and every day. Thinking about the first real estate class he took, he remembered the series had started two weeks prior, but I encouraged him to go any way and catch up. He did, and the rest is history. How lucky for him, for me, and for all of our past, current, and future clients who have a true professional realtor, who is successful at what he does and always available for you.

Literally and Figuratively? BUSY, BUSY, BUSY. Many of us are leading such hectic lives that there is a natural tendency to pile it all on without stopping to realize we all have limitations of some kind. Every once in a while you must take a step back and reevaluate if you have taken on more bite than you can chew. Often times it just takes prioritizing the tasks you have obligated yourself to and readjusting your schedule to accommodate what you have to and want to accomplish. In an age where so many are at a loss for business, those who are busy should not complain at all, rather appreciate the abundance of work and find a way to make it all happen. Never, never should you allow the tasks you have taken on to jeopardize your health. That still comes first and foremost. Without our health we really do have nothing. If you are in good health be grateful and make the most of all your days. Isn’t it funny but for some a dinner plate is never big enough and for others the salad plate is too large. There’s no accounting for taste. It all depends on your nature and each and every person has their own evaluation of how much is too much on their plate. In the Buffet Line of Life there are those who choose a few offerings and then there are others who just like to pile it on. Taste it all and even go back for more. With work, family, and some time for recreation our plates are definitely FULL. If you find there are times that the plate is just a little too full, take a little break and ease up some. Give yourself the time, even if it means putting in some extra time and make it all happen. A good support system is crucial and the key to allow you to accomplish so many things. With a great teammate, partner, assistant you can do it all. Try, if you can, to enjoy all the tasks you have undertaken. Then you are truly a winner and that will be your sweetest rewards and your best desserts.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how she was tired of fighting and struggling with such a hard life. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water, and let each one come to a boil. In the first pot she put carrots, the second eggs, and in the last coffee beans. She let them boil without saying a word. After 30 minutes she turned off the burners. She strained the carrots out and set them in a bowl. She removed the eggs, and ladled the coffee into a bowl as well. Turning to her daughter she asked her what she saw. Her daughter answered with carrots, eggs, and coffee. Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots which were soft. Then she asked her to break the eggshell and the daughter felt the egg was hard boiled. Finally, the mother asked her daughter to sip the coffee. A smile came to her face as she smelled the aroma and took a sip. Curiously, the daughter asked her mother what this all meant and what this all had to do with the hardships she was feeling. Simply put her mother explained that each of the items had faced the same difficulties and adversities, hence the boiling water. They all tackled the same situation differently though. The carrots went in hard and came out softer and weaker. The fragile eggs went in and the outer shell protected the interior liquid and emerged hard and strong. Now the coffee beans were different and unique. When they faced the boiling water they changed the water. Now the question is “Which are you?” How do you respond to adversity and difficult, perhaps unpleasant situations? Are you a carrot, an egg, or the coffee beans? Are you a carrot that appears strong to the outside world but when faced with tough situations you fold and become weak and fragile? Or are you the egg that seems to have a malleable heart but changes with the heat? Someone who appears to be the same on the outside but after a breakup or financial catastrophe becomes hardened and stiff of spirit? Hopefully you are like the coffee bean that faces adversity and tough times by changing the situation to suit you and who you are. To take the very circumstance that brings you pain and adapts to emerge with aroma and flavor. If you are like the bean, then when things are at there worst and darkest times, you get better and change the situation around you. Just remember, the most well adjusted and happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything. Yet they are the ones who make everything they do have, the BEST. May this little fable bring you peace, contentment, and a glimpse into a brighter future for anyone facing any adversity. Share it with everyone you know while you enjoy your Sunday morning coffee.
