Join Our SWAT Team


Thursday, October 7th 9am - Noon
SWAT Tour will be held next Thursday, October 7th from 9am to Noon. This is our monthly MARKETING S.W.A.T. (See What Agents Think) TEAM tour to help each other sell listings. How this approach works is that if you have a listing that's been on the market for too long and you need ideas on how to make it more saleable you can put it on the SWAT list. On Thursday, July 1st everyone with a home on the SWAT tour will go on a tour to view the homes. The tour will take place from 9am-Noon. This is not just a caravan! This is a TLC (Troubled Listing Caravan) approach to giving constructive feedback. We have a TLC Tour Analysis sheet that each agent will be required to complete after viewing each home. This is so that the listing agent will have concrete feedback on how to get the house sold. The tour meets at 9:00am at the first house. You will receive the Tour Analysis Sheets for each property on the day of the tour. The tour will be followed by a half hour marketing de-briefing where we can exchange verbal feedback about each listing.
EMAIL STACEY BY TUESDAY IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR PROPERTY INCLUDED ON THE OCTOBER TOUR!
THE RULES:
1. The tour spots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis
2. If you have a property on the SWAT tour... YOU MUST BE AVAILABLE TO GO INTO EVERY HOME ON THE TOUR.
3. If a property is in an area that is too distant, we reserve the right to not include it in the SWAT tour.
We think this is a great way for us to leverage the expertise within our marketplace so we hope you can join us!

Free Webinar - Are Your Income Buckets Full?

Join us for a FREE LIVE Webinar on September 28
Tuesday, September 28, 2010
1:00pm- 2:00pm EDT

REGISTER NOW

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

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.
