GCCC Strawberry Festival Saturday 4/28/07

I'm having a booth $#155 at the Strawberry Festival. Giving away LOTS of stuff. First, I bought a $50 gift certificate to Sweet Carolina Gourmet http://www.SweetCG.com and then I bought a $50 gift basket from Southern Season in Chapel Hill. Second, I am giving out soda (pop) with cozies that have my logo on it. Last, I bought bag clips with my logo to hand out. Can't forget the kids (or myself) with bubble gum.
My goal is to get people to sign up for the drawing so that I can add them to my database. I just want to be able to stay in touch with them and keep them posted on the latest real estate news in the 40/42 area.
See you at the fair.

Looking for Good Agents

Spring is upon us and I'm busy. Need an extra hand or two to help with all the work. If you know anyone who's been in business at least 6 months and is not satisfied with where they are, please have them call me at 919-616-0219. I have 2 new agents getting ready to start so now I prefer someone who's been doing it for just a bit. I believe in mentoring and training.

Just closed a listing this week. The buyer's agent was very nice to work with but I could tell he was very new. He called his BIC with questions alot. I was impressed because I've worked with 3 other new agents over the past 2 years and boy were they annoying. They made alot of mistakes and I wasn't frustrated with that. It was the fact that I was doing their BICs job by staying on top of them to make sure we all got to the closing table on time. They never seemed to call their BICs with questions and obviously weren't trained.

There are large firms and small ones, like mine, and everything in between. I just want a go-getter like myself to partner with and bring in more money to the company. My goal is to help others reach their goal, by doing so I'll have helped my company reach it's goals. A win-win situation for all.

Waverly Point Yard Sale

Another successful community yard sale in Waverly Point subdivision. Julie Barnhart organized and Progressive Real Estate paid for advertising, balloons for participating homes, and signage for event.
46+ houses sold everything from baby items to household items to furniture.
Wonderful turnout of folks buying.
See you in the Fall 2007!!!
