When I was putting together TEAM ERIC for the Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World Contest, I was pretty specific in how I built the team. There was a reason that Greg Swann was on the team. There was a reason for EACH member. Many of the team members did not talk to each other much in the emails that went flying everywhere, but individually they all talked with me. Everyone who was on that team was VITAL to its success. One of the things that united our whole team was that they are all “givers” and “doers”. There were (and are) no “show dogs”. The team was comprised of dogs who know how to hunt or pull a sled.<\/p>\n

One of the members of our team is Charles Richey and his wife Jacqui. Charles does the webmastering and marketing support while his wife does the selling in Las Vegas. Charles is a giving, caring soul who is now faced with battling Guillaume Barre Disease and has been in the ICU for the past few days. The good news is that the outlook is positive. Many make a full recovery (after an extended stay in the hospital and physical therapy). This will be a long battle. One that ANY of us here could find ourselves in. But, like many REALTORS, Charles and Jacqui are battling without health insurance.<\/p>\n

I am capitalist through and through, but that comes also with the fact that I am a loyal friend to a teammate and believe in helping fellow travelers and paying it forward. One does not truly work without the other. And as REALTORS we are all teammates to a large extent.<\/p>\n

A fund has been set up here<\/a>. If you can spare some, it is greatly needed and would be appreciated big time. Many REALTORS and more than a couple of vendors have offered support. I will chronicle their efforts down the road a bit.<\/p>\n

Thanks a bunch for whatever you can do.<\/strong> I know times are tough right now and purse strings are tight. Even a small donation from a large number of folks would Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
