Ask - Seek - Knock Even In Real Estate

Ask - Seek - Knock - Even In Real Estate

Ask - Seek - Knock,  Real Estate Ask and Ye Shall Be Given, Real Estate, john mccormack, realtor, albuquerque, albuquerque homes realty, Matthew 7:7

This morning I was talking with the Lord while enjoying a stroll, you know, walking and talking like old friends do.  So I was saying to Him how I really enjoy my job helping others meet their real estate needs and how Debbie and I really like being busy and are grateful for all the work He sends our way.  I let Him know how I really want and need two of my listings to sell quickly.  Not only for me but more importantly for my sellers who have both moved on and really need to get their homes sold.


Today I received offers on both homes yes you’re reading that right... both homes have good offers coming in this afternoon.  I give all the glory to Him and remember that we are told to, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7  

Now I ask Him for the knowledge and skills to bring these Albuquerque home buyers and sellers together and work in making these transactions continue on a smooth path.  Do I ask, seek, knock even in real estate?  You bet I do and hope you do too.

Great example of giving it to God!  

Posted by Catherine Ulrey Equestrian and Acreage Property Specialist-Salem, Silverton, (Turner, Aumsville, Stayton & nearby, Keller Williams Realty) 8 months ago

Hi John,

 

      I said Amen to that! I'm really glad that you raised the name of God with all your listings and by praising his name on this post. This really one of God's miracle that PRAYERS is really a powerful tool. And me too, I always ask God for knowledge so that I can do my job well. Wisdom everyday, so that I can live my life well. And most of all I ask God more offers so that I can quickly sell all my listings. All of this are true, you need to ask God the things that you need by PRAYERS and he will surely answer it, not right away at all times. But instead in God's time! Thank you for sharing this wonderful post. We really appreciate it. Take care!

 

Keep on Raising God's name,

Hi John.  Great blog with excellent results.  Good luck.

I am so glad we connected my brotha!!!! That is how you do, if you are humble and wise that is. Thanks for the reminder I gotta do the same thing and maybe just maybe this is why I couldnt sleep, (which is extremely rare) and decided to jump in the rain for a few.

 

Great grat post and you are a shining example of that "ask and it shall be given" problem is many dont ask.

 

Now I am off to go ask!

Peace and blessings

John, so good to see you doing so well in your business & you certainly are blessed in life all around.

Posted by Waterfront RI Homes for Sale | Rhode Island Coastal Real Estate Agent (Phillips Post Road Realty -Waterfront homes, Short Sales) 8 months ago

John(QMan)- I love this because it's a reminder that we have only to ask.  We get so caught up in being the force behind our careers and our lives that we do forget that there is an even higher force, whatever your beliefs, that is always there to help us. 

Posted by Kathy Streib-Home Stager-Palm Bch County South Florida - 561-914-6224 (Room Service Home Staging) 8 months ago

Good morning John.  I did the same thing last night after an awful day (or Irmas that is as she speaks spanish and has had to deal with this buyer nightmare!).  I prayed a great deal last night and what was great about the night was I just decided to let go -   Two of our listings we launched this  month BOTH recieved contracts (one multiples) and the sellers are so excited!   (one of the listings is the one that I had under contract in two days and had to back out for health reasons - I told the sellers it just wasn't to be and something better would come along (they are the ones getting 3 offers today!).  SO prayer works and always has for me.    Oh and of course I rest John (i only did 5 min video lol)

I love this story John, we can turn over all things to that power greater than yourselves.

I have never seen the "ASK" acronym before. Cool!

Good morning John,

What an inspiring post..as Kathy mentioned in her comments we often forget that there is a higher force, whatever your beliefs, that is always there to help us:. You are a very wise man to follow the ultimate coach in life..thank you Mr. Q you are an inspiration! 

Posted by Dorie Dillard Realtor® Canyon Creek NW Austin TX homes for sale (Coldwell Banker United Realtors) 8 months ago

Good Mornig John, Thank you for the inspirational message to start this busy day. I shall follow your advice and ASK. Have a great Friday.

I ask for that help often. Oh Please let me get this buyer settled; Oh please let me help this seller; Oh please let me make this putt. And sometimes he hears me.

Posted by Ed Silva CDPE, GRI, ABR, Real Estate Agent (RE/MAX Professionals, CT 203-206-0754) 8 months ago

I love this because it is far to easy to try to go it alone. We need to remember that God is there if we only will ask him in!

John when I focus on money things go bad.  When I focus on serving people, being faithful to God, and being the best Husband/Father I can with what I have things go well.  Great post.

Late last night Debbie and I rode our bicycles enjoying the beautiful night sky and saying thank you to Him for blessing us with two great offers.  BTW both offers were accepted and we’re on track to close. Thank you and thanks to Him......
