February Forum 2011

The Forum is designed for you, the agent, to share ideas for increasing production and improving business practices.

Many topics were discussed today. Really great ideas were shared for increasing production, enhancing customer interaction, increasing your Book of Business, ethics issues, legal issues, and best practices.

Derk Mazurczak, Vantage Foundation Repair, provided a delicious fajita luncheon with all the fixings. Derk shared how Vantage Foundation Repair can be helpful in ensuring our customer’s foundation needs are addressed. He will perform foundation inspections for all our clients who express any concerns about the foundation of a home they are buying or selling. Great affiliate services. Wonderful Luncheon and Great Services, Thanks Derk!!

David Owen, Director, CENTURY 21 United Relocation Department, briefed everyone on corporate relocation benefits. He shared how out bound referrals can be a great source of additional income for our agents. David briefed on the direct agent ancillary benefits of being associated with a CARTUS broker, such as CENTURY 21 United-Northside. Informative Information, Thanks David!!

Sandy Bower-Johnson, CENTURY 21 Corporate Business Benefits Director, trained everyone on how to use the new 21online.com e-campaign center. It is a terrific tool for keeping in contact with, and managing, leads, past and future clients, center of influence, sphere of influence, and many others who can potentially be sources of business for our agents. Best of all the service is entirely FREE. Knowledge is Power, Thanks Sandy!!

Jim shared market data for the San Antonio Board of Realtors (SABOR) for December 2010. Agents were able to see how “pricing” can have a delirious affect on sales. Properties are selling at a paltry 77% of their offering price. The importance of pricing and techniques to use in pricing were shared. Agent success in our market environment will be driven directly by their pricing skills.

Sales Meeting February 3rd

Jason Vallier, David Weekly Homes @ Estonia, provided an excellent pasta luncheon for our February Sales Meeting. Jason gave everyone a tour of the David Weekly Green Home demonstrating the many green upgrades in their traditional product. David Weekly is providing 6 inch wall studs fully insulated in their construction, high energy sheathing, and other energy saving features unparalleled in San Antonio. Estonia is ideally suited for Lackland AFB service members and employees, as well as other business in Northwest San Antonio Highway 151 corridor. Wonderful Luncheon and Great Homes, Way to Go Jason!

Maurice Mendoza, M&D Financial Services, briefed everyone on how they are able to assist buyers in credit repair. Once a client has enrolled in their program, M&D guarantees to upgrade the client’s credit score. Afterwards the client is returned to our Realtor to close the transaction. Buyers that cannot readily qualify for a home loan should be referred to Maurice for credit repair. Valuable Services, Many Thanks Maurice.

Northside’s CONVENTION Challenge to Realtors to win a Convention Package Valued at $400.00 is generating plenty of competition. Production is increasing as the competition picks up. We are sure to have a winner this month. I am looking forward to awarding the Convention Package to a deserving Realtor. Best of Luck Team.

Remember, you are in the “Relocation Business”. Be sure to let everyone you meet know, you are a “Relocation Specialist” who can help families, friends, acquaintances, and others, with Relocation Services regardless where they live or plan on moving around the globe. Remind them, your services are FREE. Outbound Referrals are an excellent source of added revenue for all Northsiders.

CONGRATULATIONS Carolina!

This is indeed an outstanding achievement Carolina accomplished for 2010. She finished the year ranking #159 out of some 8,000 Realtors in our board. This is no small achievement. She can take justifiable pride in this level of success.

Team Northside is very excited and very proud of your achievement. Regardless of the complaining and moaning about the real estate market by many, there has been no recession for Carolina. She understands recessions always exist between a Realtors ears, not in their marketplace.

2011 promises to be an even more prospers year for Carolina. Be sure to congratulate her personally.
