We had a fantastic business meeting yesterday!  We were able to show some recognition for a few agents in our office, have an engaging conversation about today’s market and some pricing strategies, and we had an opportunity to pass out some profit share checks!

First, our market center recognized four people at the regional awards last week.  Mary McKeown was recognized for all of her hard work and effort over the last couple of years by being designated our Cultural Icon of 2007.  Herman Koehl and Michele Alexander were recognized for the struggles and obstacles that they have overcome to get their business back on track.  They were awarded the Agent Mountain Award for 2007.  Then, Lisa Parrett was recognized for her early production and leadership within the office with the Rising Star Award.  We also have the most productive agent in the Ohio Valley Region working with us……Jeff Kucic was recognized as the Top Producer in the region with over $1,000,000 in gross closed income!!!!  Jeff is a great example of the Millionaire Real Estate Agent model! Congratulations to all of our Award Winners!!!

As far as the statistics of the market, you may want to find the report at www.mibor.com.  Once you are on MIBOR’s site, go to the “Members Only” section and look for “Reports & Statistics.”  You will be asked to login with your username and password.  Once you have done that, scroll down to the reports and take a look at our market statistics.  You will find that there a lot of new listings coming on the market right now, that sales have been slower and that the market is starting to pick back up. 

The great news is that there are a lot of people wanting to sell their home so that they are able to purchase a new home.  We simply need to help them get the home priced right so that it will sell….go get the price adjustments today so that your sellers can take advantage of this buyer’s market!  Remember, there is not a lack of demand, buyers are simply stuck in overpriced listings!

Also, we were able to pass out nearly $2000 to agents yesterday morning! Now that we are back in the home selling season, we should see these profit share checks get bigger.  If you would like to receive some profit share money, join Ann Ruble and the Growth Committee next Thursday at the office.  You may call Ann at 863-4330 for more details.  

In Indianapolis, Keller Williams Realty is quickly gaining ground on the competition.  All of our competitors lost 13-18% in volume last year and we gained nearly 10%.  That is a big swing considering the market conditions!  We also found out that the Fishers/Geist office is the number one office in the Fishers territory.  Yes, we are the most productive office within the Fishers/Geist area!!  Congratulations on all of your hard work!!!
