Howard, you will never remember me but I shall always remember the fire you installed in me when I went to my first real estate convention in 1998 in Traverse City Michigan. I had just opened up my own office (2 weeks) and didn’t have a clue if I would be successful. You were my first session that day (and it was a guess if you were any good). You made me laugh (OUT LOUD) and brought tears to my eyes and made me hunger for more. Your humor and intensity inspired me beyond belief. It was the beginning of non-stop conventions and learning. I haven’t missed a state or national convention since that year and it all started with you. I continue to tell the story of how you were part of my original excitement and motivated me in this business and I have passed that on to many agents. Every now and then, someone powerful makes a difference in your life, Howard, you made it in mine. I like to think that I “Pay it Forward” Thanks Howard! People can make a differnce.
