Office meeting notes 3/3/09

A leader’s job is to look into the future and see organization not as it is, but as it should be.
Business is picking up. Many of the agents were talking about getting calls now from clients ready to sell and or buy. Perfect time to be calling the people in your bulls eye. Karan Heuer just got 2 listings. One of those listings was vacant so she got her lister to agree to stage the house by saying that the cost of staging is better than the first price reduction. According to magazines today the first floor laundry room seems to be one of the most important rooms to stage. Karan said staging made a big difference in her listing.
Happy birthday to John Ludwig on March 16th and Patrick Retzer on March 22nd.
Reminder that bills for MLS dues are now out and are due on April 1. This time there will be NO post cards mailed out to you but you should have received an e-mail from MLS.
There will be a CE class here on Thurs. from 1-4. Principles of Personal Business Management by Bob Hellebush. This will be the last CE class held here at our office since we will be giving up the lower level by the end of March.
Don’t forget to sign up for the Awards Breakfast on March 24 at the Hall of Mirrors at 8:30AM. Sign up sheet is on side of the mailboxes.
According to MLS in 2008 listings were off 19.3%, sold units were off 33.1%, volume was off 45% and total units were off 13.1%.
