The 5% is Shrinking! Yes I’m talking about successful real estate agents
The 5% is Shrinking! Yes I’m talking about successful real estate agents…
It is amazing that agents are still waiting around to be order takers! Each and every day in the Tampa Bay Area, homes are listed on the market for sale and the question is, how many of these sellers actually see their goal become a reality… which is of course to SELL! In fact, according to the monthly statistics provided GTAR – Greater Tampa Association of Realtors, for the month of October 2011, 9,857 homes were listed for sale with 1,641 that sold with an average days on market of 111. That brings us to a 6 months supply of inventory. The question is… how many sellers did you help sell their home in October?
So we all hear about the 80/20 rule and that 20% make 80% of the money… well it is very apparent that the 20% is less than even 5%… more like 3%. And in markets similar to what we are currently experiencing, those 3% of the agents are gaining ground and market share. Why? Because they are skilled professionals that have implemented systems and models, have a grasp on technology and truly understand how to help people. If you’re looking to grow your real estate career and run your business as a business, I would love to hear your feedback. Perhaps you would like a roadmap for real estate? If you’re in the Tampa Bay area, contact me for a free copy of the MREA Book – Millionaire Real Estate Agent written by Gary Keller. Caution: this is intended for only the serious agents who are looking to earn more and work less!

Are you playing to win or are you playing not to loose?
Are you playing to win or are you playing not to lose?
As we fly through the month of June and well in to the second half of the year, ask yourself the question, “Am I playing to WIN or am I playing not to lose?” You may quickly think to yourself, well of course I am playing to win… Are you? Are you reviewing your Business Plan each and every month and focusing daily on your activities? Not a few days here and there, daily?
So let’s just break through this discussion… it really comes down to choices. And most real estate agents will share one of their top reasons they got into real estate is to be their own boss and have the freedom and flexibility to control their own schedules and make an unlimited amount of income. I find that very interesting and here’s why… How many agents take charge of their business and Lead Generate and Prospect for business each day, for a minimum of 2 hours? Choices- choices to do the business instead of getting ready to get ready to get ready… to get started. We’ve all been there!
If you really think about the question, are you playing to win or are you playing to lose, it can really give you a swift kick if you happen to be one who’s only just getting by, by choosing to do only what is necessary to get you by. Perhaps playing it safe is who you are naturally. That is perfectly ok as long as at the end of each day, each week, month, year and years to come that you can honestly say that you’re meeting or better yet, exceeding your goals… then great! Or maybe it is the fact you’re just not sure exactly what steps to take next or which path to travel… the bottom line is you have choices. The choice is yours! So go out there, develop your dreams, develop your plans and make it happen! You can do it, if you choose to!

This home is a very special home… The home is a safe shelter and a nurturing environment for youth in the foster care system, ages 12-17. This home offers teen mentoring and intervention programs that encourage students to achieve academic excellence and prepare them to live purposeful lives.
During the day on Thursday, May 12th, 2011, we have an opportunity to help clean up the home from new appliances, new carpet, painting the outside, sprucing up the outside landscaping, installing a nice table outside and so much more! We are also collecting for the girls from clothing, toiletries, supplies and more. If you would like to join us for a day of ‘Giving where we live’ through assisting out at the home on the day, or through a financial contribution, let us know!

Keller Williams Realty Climbs to Second-Largest Real Estate Franchise in United States
Goals set for worldwide expansion to add 75,000 international associates
AUSTIN, TEXAS (March 8, 2011)—Keller Williams® Realty Inc., announced today that it is now the second-largest real estate franchise in the United States based on the total number of sales professionals, surpassing Century 21, according to research conducted by REAL Trends, a leading source of analysis and information in the residential real estate industry. The company claimed the number two spot with 77,672 U.S.-based associates at the end of 2010, just two years after claiming the number three spot from RE/MAX® International.
“Once again, this milestone achievement is a direct result of the dedication of our associates and the stability and profitability of the Keller Williams business models,” said Mark Willis, CEO of Keller Williams Realty. “It’s incredible to see the momentum that our associates and our offices have right now.”
This news comes one week after the announcement of positive growth by the company at their annual convention in Anaheim. Including its presence in Canada, Keller Williams closed the year with 79,315 associates and 701 market centers (offices). At the convention, Willis also shared that Keller Williams associate profit share was up 7.2 percent, with its agents receiving $34.6 million dollars back in 2010. Despite industry contraction, Keller Williams associates across North America also showed significant percentage gains in listings taken (+13%), contracts closed volume (+9%) and contracts closed units (+6%).
The company also formed Keller Williams Worldwide with Chris Heller as president, citing plans for global expansion, with plans to grow the division by an additional 75,000 associates in 10 years. “Our goals are to expand the Keller Williams Realty model – with the focus on training and our sound business models,” said Chris Heller, president of KW Worldwide. “And, when looking for the right country and business partners in planning for expansion, we will not sacrifice the perfect fit with our mission, vision and the KW culture, those are absolutely necessary.”
Despite the sharp downturn in the real estate market, since 2005 Keller Williams Realty has grown 30 percent in agents, 40 percent in market centers, 21 percent in closed units and 11 percent in closed GCI.
Keller Williams Realty received many accolades in 2010 including:
