I Quit!

[miksar]

After 6 years being a BDCC I'm calling it quits. I just wanted to say thanks to you whacked out bunch of guys for making my short lived career a whole lot easier and funner. The knowledge, the sense of humor and the comradery of you knuckleheads is priceless. Special thanks to Mikey and his fests, they were one of the highlights of my brief excursion to ccing. Also to Jim Martin, Joel Riggs, your help was invaluable.

Bye Mike good luck to ya............


















the boogie-man is gonna get him..............

 

[Mikey P]

damn, sorry it didn't work out Mike


So whats next in store for ya?

 

[Jim Martin]

Sorry to see you go Mike...Keep my number....you need anything just yell...we aren't to far away......

 

[miksar]

The cc business was great, my phone was always a ringing. But I'm pushing 62 and it just stopped being fun. I've always wanted to be a Realtor since I was a young man. But because of different circumstances the timing never was right. But now that I'm an older fart the time is right. I'm a partner in Ace Mulligan Homes LLC in San Tan Valley (SE of Phoenix) and am loving it.

Best of Luck to you in your new gig!!

 

[Mikey P]

I flew over phoenix yesterday....Lordy but you have a shit ton of houses out there.

 

[Art Kelley]

Whether you are 62 or 22, this is a hard job.

Best of luck. BNI seems to work great here in NJ for realtors if a spot is open.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Congrats and best wishes, Mike. This is a tough industry. You did well as long as you did.

 

[Desk Jockey]

SIXTY TWO! You should have quit a long time ago!


Congrats! You know once a cleaner always a cleaner. You'll be going through houses thinking "this could use a good steam cleaning".

Good luck!

 

[hogjowl]

You're going to end up being a bitch with too much make -up on and a bad hair doo.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Congrats on the semi retirement

So....does that mean you have some equipment for sale?

Chavez is looking to outfit an entire box truck with portables I think I saw on a post somewhere here.

Seriously, hope to still see you around the board and best wishes on the new adventure!

(Sorry Richard...just was a weak moment for me)

 

[Carpet Cleaning Fool]

Happy trails to you, til we meet again.

Any equipment for sale? I'm up in Ahwatukee the south end of Phoenix.

Im glad it is working out for you Mike. I wish I could have pulled the trigger on buying your outfit. The people who bought it will do real well from you years of work out here. Although your custmers will miss you.

Mike was referring customers to me for the last few months. And hands down his customers loved the guy.

Yup that dang BNI Group again. Same here! They work REALLY well with the Bank, Mortgage and Insurance Clan. All of em get their haircuts at the same place,
from the group lol


This is a Great Thread. I mean it's always a bummer to lose one of the group but hey, never blame a man for trying to better himself.
The reality is any given moment we are all at some sort of risk of having to Re-Gear our lives and careers, Ain't none of us getting any younger!
Best of luck to ya Feller : )

My father showed up here everyday until up until a few weeks of his death. He was 83, he loved this business and just came in to hear the stories and tell us what we were doing wrong.

Sure I miss him! Even if it meant getting a scolding now and then.

 

[Spurlington]

Too bad you didn't have someone to run the cleaning business while you're Real Estate-ing around town .. seems it woulda gone hand in hand - referring every clients home and shaking down all other agents in your path for a referral .. oh well .. good luck !!

 

[Russ T.]

I've thought about having my wife get her RE license. I clean for people who are putting their house on the market all the time. Could be some easy money?

[Spurlington]

Hey Rusty .. before you do that .. ask her if she dosent mind working nights and weekends and at the drop of a hats notice .. unless she focuses on commercial properties, that might be the schedule she'll need to keep .. I'd probably wait until you unload the tax credits I mean the wonderful children before diving in ..

Well, Sam.....been doing this like 38 years. It seems to come naturally. Pull up to job, inspect job, pull out hoses, clean, put everything away, collect, head to next job. Repeat.

I get a kick outta bringin' the youngins' to clean, and they're ready to take a nap 1/2 way through the job. I just keep wanding away.

Diet wise, I haven't smoked in 35 years, don't drink soda pop, don't overdo the fatty foods, walk everyday with my wife and dog. No vitamins, no energy drinks, except coffe, lot's of coffee. Take it one day at a time, don't book steady jobs all day....I break between jobs. And I don't take the junk work. If I can't get my price, I just respectfully don't do the job. There's plenty of others that will work for less.

I got a word for the low ball cleaners that are working on volume.....................Pure "Dip-shit-ery". (as quoted on the FX TV show "Fargo".)

Plus, I still enjoy doing what I do, especially with some of the new tools available, and I credit Lisa (and Greenie) for perservering in keeping the glide on the market at a huge expence to them. I wouldn't be cleaning without a glide today.

 

[rwcarpet]

As for smoking.......I'll admit to smoking a little weed in my earlier years. And, I my be smoking it again......medicinally....when I do retire from my years of pushing that wand!

 

[GCCLee]

I deal with a Real Estate company that has 10 Agents.


Kinda like apts but more money per job : )
