When I began my real estate career a little over a decade ago, I
made a commitment to myself to be the best in every aspect of my profession.
When foreclosures and short sales overran the market, I challenged myself to
become an authority on those subjects. Soon I began training other agents about
distressed properties—all while working day by day to serve my own clients and
increase my sales. Later, as internet marketing became increasingly important,
I hired experts in programming, social-media, and videography to create
compelling, state-of-the-art websites. Then, as my internet presence grew, I
expanded my team regionally. Presently, from our four offices, my teammates and
I serve clients across two states. And thanks to the global reach of our
marketing programs—and our successful partnership with Christie’s—we frequently
work with buyers from Europe, China, India, and beyond.
Today, my team averages 400-plus sales per year. We manage more than one thousand rental properties (having begun with 50 three years ago), and
we operate eight real-estate-related
businesses, including our own construction and remodeling firm, a moving
company, and a furniture-storage warehouse.
As our businesses have grown, so too has our reputation. For the past four years, RealTrends and the Wall Street Journal have listed our group among the top 250 real estate teams in the nation. In 2012, the National Association of Realtors named me one of “30 under
30.” In 2014, the Coastal Association of Realtors named me Realtor of the Year.
While I cherish these honors, I am equally proud to say that I am still a very active agent, meeting with clients daily, introducing them to the homes of their dreams, and personally guiding them past the obstacles which buyers and sellers encounter in today’s regulatory environment.
Now, with so much on my plate, why do I set aside time to train and consult? Very simply, helping other agents (including the new members of my own team) has become one of my passions. I take great satisfaction in sharing
my knowledge with open-minded people who have made a personal commitment to
move forward and accomplish great things. Let’s connect soon to discuss your
future. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time.
“I really train my agents on the difference between service and hospitality. We take the hospitality route because we want to leave a lasting impression on the client. Our goals, our culture … they’re all focused on the consumer experience.” -- Brandon Brittingham @ BoomTown Unite
