This Home’s Seller Says

My husband and I moved to Whitmore Lake from the upper peninsula of Michigan, we were looking for an area with a small town feel but still have easy access to our areas of work and Whitmore Lake was the ideal place for us.

We moved to Eagle Garden Subdivision and have enjoyed the idea of it being a very safe area to live in, and the neighborhood is very family oriented. We enjoy seeing the kids around us getting on the bus just across the street, watching them play football and ride their bikes around the neighborhood. We enjoy going for walks with our dog or riding our bikes around the subdivision ourselves knowing we are in a safe area.

Living in Whitmore Lake we have easy access to the expressways or just going out to eat at the local restaurants. We can have anything we want to eat and be there within minutes of our home.

There were many things that drew us to this home. We like the size of the house. We like the privacy that nature provides in our back yard. It is very peaceful sitting on the deck during the summer watching the wildlife in the pond area. We are happy that no one can build a house behind us and future homeowners will be able to enjoy this feature also. Eagle Garden also has sidewalks, and a park just down the street which we enjoy.

Our home is efficient, the average cost for gas during the winter is approximately $120 per month, during the summer it is around $50.oo per month. Our average electric bill is around $80-$100 per month. We have a well, so we do not have a water bill. Economically it has been very reasonable to live here.

Dexter is a great place to live. It has good restaurants, parks, unique shops and the theater.

The Dexter area has many wonderful restaurants, we like Red Brick and Dexter Pub, also the Common Grill in Chelsea.

We also like the layout of our home and the neighborhood. We also have easy access to groceries with Busch’s and Country Market very near by. Dexter has a “great school system” too.

People will love the area, “the convenience to Hudson Mills Metropark, was a big draw.” We like biking and walking at Hudson Mills. Our road is beautiful in the fall, it is actually on the fall color tour. We bicycle the Border to Border trial. We enjoy the Dexter Farmers Market, the library, the Encore Theater and the summer concerts. We also like the Dexter Cider Mill and of course the Dexter Bakery.

The Toth Team’s Top 3 Most Recommended Books For Increasing Productivity, Growth, & Profit

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on February 4, 2016

When we are searching for an agent to sell or find the perfect home, we expect them to be knowledgeable of the market and to help us make the best decision possible. With the advancement of technology in today’s society we have the news right at our fingertips, but are we truly reading, or skimming over the facts? In the Wall Street Journal, “Skimming has become my brain’s default setting,” stated Cynthia Crossen, as she explained the difference between reading and skimming. Skimming is skipping over the main point to get to specific terms or concepts. This is a standard procedure that many of us do without noticing and one of the main reasons hard cover book sales have decreased.

Here at The Toth Team, we treasure the books that have taught us our values today and we would like to share our top three most recommended books for increasing productivity and growth. The Toth Team served 230 families in 2015 and we are on track to serve over 400 families THIS YEAR! Reading has several positive effects on our development and growth both inside and out of work. As we evolve and grow as a team, we must spend time discussing what has helped us grow and what has become an obstacle. We will focus on The Toth Team’s 3 favorite books: The One Thing, The 4 Disciplines of Execution, and the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team.

1. The One Thing

“What’s the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”

– Gary Keller

This quote is the one single question the entire book is written around. Gary Keller is the founder of Keller-Williams Real Estate and has taken the company to the top of their industry. He not only is a remarkable leader and innovator, but also an elite author who moves individuals with his facts and results. Gary Keller and Jay Papasan insist the key to success is not to make a list or analyze your possibilities, but rather to think of that ONE Thing that is the most important thing in your life. This ONE Thing is similar to a goal or objective that you are working so hard every day for. Now once you have identified your ONE Thing and focused your vision primary on it, you must distinguish the obstacles in your way and then determine how you will overcome each and every single one of them.

2. The 4 Disciplines of Execution

“Execution starts with focus”

– Jim Huling

Strategy is vital for every business to develop and perform effectively. Often times, individuals run into a conflict of interest and they lose focus on their strategy. Written by authors Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling, these experts define and explain how learning four distinct disciplines can produce desired results. The four disciplines analyzed are the discipline of focus, the discipline of leverage, the discipline of engagement, and the discipline of accountability. The concept whirlwind is discussed and there are several solutions given on how to control and handle our massive amounts of energy. It’s important to remain calm and focus our energy on what is high priority and vital to accomplish for that day.

3. 5 Dysfunctions of a Team

“Successful teamwork is not about mastering subtle, sophisticated theories, but rather about combining common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence. Ironically, teams succeed because they are exceedingly human. By acknowledging the imperfections of their humanity, members of functional teams overcome the natural tendencies that make teamwork so elusive.”

-Patrick Lencioni

It is a challenge to meet a group a strangers and the next moment call them your teammates. How do we learn to adjust to working in a team and managing it effectively? We must first recognize our five main problems with working in a group and then we must develop solutions to these. Patrick Lencioni is an American writer and lover of business management. He is famous for this book and the founder/president of the Table Group, a management consulting firm primarily focused on organizational/team health. He believes that the first step in a group is to reduce the misunderstanding and confusions by addressing the five most common dysfunctions individuals have: Absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results.
