Keller Williams In 2005 I was building homes for a living and had an accident that prohibited me from continuing my career as a General Contractor. I had already taken the real estate courses and passed the tests, had just not ever worked as a Real Estate Agent. I had contacted another agent, at Keller Williams, to purchase a piece of property, so I called him to see what the details of working for an agency were. He encouraged me to come aboard with Keller Williams. I did decide to work at Keller Williams and started off on my new career choice. It didn’t take very long for me to find it was a much larger company than I was comfortable with. I needed a few less people and a little more training in order to get my career moving and learn the proper way to work through a contract. I was very appreciative of the chance Keller Williams gave me to get my business off the ground, and parted with a greater understanding of what my needs were. |
ERA Landmark My next stop was ERA Landmark, a little more of a boutique store with great training opportunity and some of the best agents in the valley. ERA Landmark was a fantastic learning experience and the Broker is an amazing business woman. She was an inspiration to me in wanting to set my goals on a brokerage of my own at some point in my career. ERA Landmark offered classes and training on a weekly basis. I watched the highly successful agents in the valley and learned their approach to both buyers and sellers and then incorporated pieces from each of them into my business structure for excellent service and continued growth. While at ERA Landmark I hired Tami to help move my business in the direction I chose to go. After much research and watching, I determined that the internet was most assuredly where the real estate market was headed. Tami built our website, keeps it maintained, and posts our listings in hundreds of places on the web. She has been such an asset in our growth and progress, thanks to Robyn at ERA Landmark I was certain that hiring such expertise would hugely benefit our business. After several years at ERA Landmark, Tami and I looked at our bottom line and decided it was time to start forward motion to our own business. |
Remax Realty Group Experience

Remax Realty Group Our next stop was Remax Realty Group due to the commission structure offered. I needed to get used to paying a predetermined amount each and every month regardless of the income I was producing and Remax Realty Group offered just such a setting. Tami and I continued to tweak our online structure, and to set up programs to better serve our clients. We spent much of our time at Remax Realty Group designing email programs and contact systems that would better enable us to stay in contact with each potential client without jeopardizing the time needed to spend with each person individually. This is a delicate balance that we tried hard to perfect during our time at Remax Realty Group. After two years of working through the kinks in our business structure and trusting that our budget was in placed we took the leap! While the agents we worked with at Remax Realty Group were wonderful and will always have a fond place in our hearts, we are delighted to be in our own office and look forward to a long and exciting business future. |
