Office Meeting Notes 4/14

Thanks to Steven Rish for handling the meeting for Linda today while she is on vacation. In week #2 of the baseball contest we had 3 more agents getting 7% listings and hitting a grand slam. They are Mike, Doc and Yvette. Our office is currently in 2nd place behind Ohio Indiana Office but they have twice as many agents so we think we have a better average.
Steven asked a question regarding agency. If you have an Exclusive Right to sell on a property do you have permission to represent that seller? Answer: by Ohio law you don’t. If you call your seller and say you have an offer on his property and the seller asks you what the price & terms are you, by law, are not suppose to discuss it until you have the agency disclosure signed. He said at the time of listing the property you could explain the steps and ask if it is OK with them to discuss this verbally if you do get an offer. An Exclusive Right to Sell is an agreement to market the property.
Lorin Buckner with American Life Style was here to discuss a new tool for you to use to keep in touch with past clients. It is a bi-monthly magazine with your name on front and inside with 2 tear out cards with a recipe also with your name & information. The cost is $99. to activate plus $149. bi-monthly for 50 people for up to 5 bi-monthly issues. The back cover is also available at an additional charge. There are copies of extra magazine in the work room along with applications if you are interested.
Chris Stevens with CB Mortgage was also here to tell everyone that CB Mortgage will be doing 203K streamline loans starting June 1. Also if your customers have a loan presently with CB Mortgage and want to refinance they could be eligible for a new loan at probably a much lower rate. She also reminded everyone NOT to call the 800 number because they could have a 30 min. wait because they are doing so many refinancing loans right now. Chris said to call her direct, on her cell phone, at either 226-2235 or 447-9306.
