Stray Rescue

Aimee Dearsley of Stray Rescue joined us this morning to promote an event we will be hosting here on April 25th. Stray Rescue is a great organization; their primary goal is to rescue stray animals in need of medical attention, restore them to health, and place them in loving, adoptive homes. If you're looking for a volunteering opportunity, or a worthy cause, the good people at Stray Rescue can always use your help.
Join us on April 25th from 10 am to 3 pm for a fun, donation event here in the office parking lot! Lunch will be provided, stay tuned for further details.

The Wood Brothers App

The 5 - 5 - 5 System of Success

Buddy discussed the 5 - 5 - 5 System of Success. It's simple, make five past client, five follow-up, and five new contact calls every day. If you can do that every day, it's a guaranteed recipe for success. Chances are, you won't be able to stop at fifteen calls!

Listing Inventory

If you're currently carrying listings, now is the time to take inventory. Which listings will sell in the next thirty days? If you don't think it's a possibility, maybe it's time to have a hard talk with the seller. If they're unwilling to reduce their price, it's not going to sell, and you're not helping your client.

Prospecting Former Sellers

There are a lot of sellers that tried to move three and four years ago, but could not. The market has improved, and they haven't tried since. We have the tools to find these listings, talk to your managers if you'd like help. People like to hear good news, it's up to you to deliver it.

St Patrick's Day Parade

T-shirts will be delivered at the office tomorrow, so be ready. If you've not joined us in the past, this parade is a really fun event. Keep an eye out for updates!
