Turning down business in this market is not an option. Shying away from short sales or REO's due to lack of experience is unacceptable and could mean a significant reduction in your earnings. Before the bubble burst, focusing on listing and selling single family homes or condominiums worked for many in the industry. Those days are gone. The market has weeded out many part-time agents and it has toyed with the earning power of many full time agents. In order to survive and thrive in this market you must be versed in most if not all areas of real estate. Are you maximizing your earning power?

Take a look at some of the income buckets RE/MAX agents are filling to meet and exceed their financial goals. We will review some of the basic things you need to know in order to expand your earning possibilities. Some of the areas we will touch on are:

1. Residential land sales for individual homes 2. Residential land sales for large developments 3. Residential new construction sales 4. Residential investment properties 5. RE0 sales 6. Using the 203k program to create sales 7. Be the corporate relocation division for a company 8. Commercial land leasing 9. Commercial leasing 10. Commercial retail sales 11. Commercial land sales 12. Commercial investment property

System Requirements PC-based attendees Required: Windows® 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server

Macintosh®-based attendees Required: Mac OS® X 10.4.11 (Tiger®) or newer

RE/MAX Franchise Honored for Commitment to Military Families

Denver, CO (Vocus) For the fourth year in a row, in recognition of its commitment to military families, RE/MAX has been named a Top Ten Military Spouse Friendly Employer by Military Spouse magazine. This year's Top Ten was selected from a pool of more than 2,500 large companies, and RE/MAX, once again, is the only real estate company to make the list.

"Military spouses make excellent, dedicated employees," says Dave Liniger, RE/MAX Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board. "They are sacrificing for our country, and RE/MAX hopes to make the lives of military families a bit easier at a most difficult time."

The innovative military employment program, Operation RE/MAX, has been helping military spouses and former military personnel find jobs in real estate for the past four years. Created in cooperation with the Department of Defense, the program matches members of the military community with volunteer RE/MAX brokers, who have made a commitment to coach, train and mentor military personnel.

As a result of the success of Operation RE/MAX, the company was honored with the Office of the Secretary of Defense Exceptional Public Service Award in 2007. The prestigious award is one of the highest given to civilians, and was presented to Gail Liniger, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of the Board, in a special Pentagon ceremony.

Operation RE/MAX has earned the cooperation of over 500 military installations and enlisted the support of more than 700 individual RE/MAX offices. Most importantly, it has placed more than 1,100 military spouses in jobs all over the world.

"Military spouses have a desire to perform well, a dedication to get the job done, and they honor their commitments," says Liniger. "In the real estate profession, military spouses have a built-in clientele because they have a personal relationship with many families who are moving regularly and trust them."

RE/MAX is joined on the Top Ten list by other high-profile organizations like USAA, Home Depot, T-Mobile and Kelly Services. To make the list, companies were required to produce at least $1 billion in annual revenue, and have specific military employment programs in place.

The annual list is a "who's who" of large corporations that were evaluated on their efforts to recruit military spouses, which make up a talent pool of more than 1.1 million; 93 percent are women. The Top Ten list is featured in Military Spouse magazine's October 2010 issue.

RE/MAX Prestige Raises $750 From Agents For Children's Miracle Jeans Day

On September 8th and 9th RE/MAX Prestige, an 11 office firm in Massachusetts and New Hampshire celebrated Miracle Jeans Day for Children's Miracle Nework, by having two motivational sales rallies for the agents. Agents paid $5 to wear their blue jeans to the events which resulted in total funds raised of $750.

The same event was held the following day for the Western Massachusetts Prestige offices and the second event was held at Baystate Children's Hospital. After the event, the gents and staff participated in a tour of the Children's Hospital where they consulted with the nursing and hospital staff about what kind of tools and technology the hospital needs and how RE/MAX can further support the charity through per closing donations.

Century 21 Lawrenson joins RE/MAX Prestige!

Please join me in welcoming Century 21 Lawrenson to RE/MAX Prestige. One of the oldest and most trusted real estate firms in Lowell is trading in the Gold for the Red, White, and Blue.

Proprietor, Stephen Lawrenson looks forward to utelizing the tools, technology, and brand name that RE/MAX offers to help his current agents thrive while at the same time attracting additional great agents to his team. Stephen and his agents will now be known as The Lawrenson Team at RE/MAX Prestige where they will continue to gain market share in Lowell and other areas of the Merrimack Valley.

Team Lawrenson will be comprised of Team Leader, Stephen Lawrenson, and previous Century 21 agents, Rick Lawrenson, Boly Taing, Tara Sek-Sann, Joanne Deschenes, and Eric Mom.

We are extremely pleased with this further expansion into the Merrimack Valley. With already number one market share in our local communities, including Lowell, this further enhances our ability to dominate the market. In the city of Lowell alone, the Century 21 acquisition will boost market share an additional 4%.

Even more exciting than the addition of market share, we are extremely excited to have six new members in our RE/MAX Prestige family. Our success at RE/MAX Prestige has been built on a foundation where hard working, determined agents share their success, ideas, and inspiration so that the team may grow as a whole. More great agents means more sharing amongst our family of agents and an even greater ability to service our clients throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut.
