I'm Back!

Sorry for being gone for so long! I've been busy getting my new Thinking Boise Real Estate team set up and learning more and more at Keller Williams Realty Boise.

I'm happy to report that KW is very serious about greening up the office. While we still have to maintain hard copies with signatures, instead of many copies being passed around, we've gone mostly wireless. KW has a specific system set up that requires us to email instead of hand delivering important transactions. It's a big step in the right direction for a business that usually has quite a paper trail.

My new assistant and I are notorious for rummaging through the recycle bin for paper we can reuse. She has a small clipboard she uses to create a notebook of one-sided paper she can carry around with her. It's half the size of a regular clipboard, so she can take it anywhere. I like to cut my paper into fourths to use for quick memos. After we've exhausted all clean edges, into the recycle bin it goes - we have one for each desk in the Thinking Boise office.

And, while it seems like a no-brainer, we bring our lunches and snacks so we don't feel compelled to hop into a car for something to eat. My Subaru gets used enough showing properties!
