This Isn’t a Job – You Are a Business Owner Now

From blog.kw.com:

Are you committed to reaching your goals and being successful next year?

There tend to be three different groups of goal-setters based on where they are in their real estate career. There is the new agent, the established solo agent, and then teams. Each group has a unique set of influencing factors which impact their planning. Regardless of which group you fall into, the first essential step in business planning is getting a grip on what your current reality is and coming face-to-face with it. Without this, the goals you set can be very pie in the sky and not necessarily reflective of reality.

So ask yourself (and be honest): What did last year really look like, and what are you capable of achieving next year?

The KW systems and models feel like home to me, and nothing makes me happier than sharing our wealth of expertise and wisdom….and then watching people FLY! I cannot wait to see where 2018 and beyond leads our KWCP family.”

New to KWCP, Marla joined the real estate community in 2016. Her early career was as a successful Television Broadcast sales Executive with ABC, NBC & FOX for 12 years. During that time she flipped 17 homes, then followed her passion and lifelong dream to do more of the same, so she co-founded T&M Design & Construction, Inc. in 2001, serving the greater Philadelphia area. In 2004, when her two children and their father were diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome and other pre-existing conditions, Marla sold her construction business and began her journey as a special needs/mental health advocate for Tourette families and families with special needs everywhere.

She Chaired the Greater Washington Tourette Society (now Mid Atlantic Tourette Society) for 6 years serving the Virginia, Maryland and DC constituent needs while continually growing the chapter base and fundraising efforts through existing members and with the development of strong community outreach programs. After ten (10) years Marla Co-Founded Tourette International Community of Support (TICS) to reach an even larger community of families needing advocacy and support. As Co-founder/Vice Chair, and Executive Director she worked to unify and inspire the Global Tourette community, to educate international lawmakers, to inform law enforcement and educators about the truths about Tourette’s, expanding to nine states in the U.S., and to over thirteen countries internationally.

In her day-to-day role with KWCP, Marla’s key objectives will be to grow the Rockville Market Center with great enthusiasm and a roster of top producing agents and to positively and significantly affect the real estate market in the greater Rockville area.

A busy mother of two beautiful daughters Devyn (23), Rheagan (18), and their Little Boy Chihuahua Man Mateo (12) Marla is a lifelong traveler, foodie, and lover of family, friends, music, and useless movie quotes.
