Office meeting notes 11/12/09

Steven Rish had his surgery yesterday and they think that they were able to break up the kidney stone so he can pass it. We wish Steven a speedy recovery.
If you are sick PLEASE DO NOT come into the office. Also if you have kids that are sick DO NOT bring them to the office either. Please be respectful of your fellow workers and keep them well.
The tickets for the next program in the Elevation Series are available. The speaker is Ed Hatch and his subject will be “Mind your own business—Designing a Personal Business Plan”. It will be at Receptions in Eastgate. The tickets are worth $25.00 but you get them for free. Please see Claire if you can go. It will be well worth your time.
Janet Davis stopped by to congratulate the Wyoming Office for being mortgage leader for the month of September. She also asked for suggestions for topics for upcoming training classes. Some of the suggestions were more in depth technology training, how to use everything that realtor.com has to offer, creative marketing tips, e-marketing and more in depth CBolt classes. She also said that the “Banks” project is coming out of the ground but at this point they will be all rentals and not condos as previously planned.
Starting after the first of the year CBWS will be changing their Fast Start training classes. They will be a 5 week class from 9 to 1 each day with homework to be completed so when a new agent finishes the class they will be ready to go.
Don’t forget next Tuesday is our Thanksgiving lunch here at noon.
The first time homebuyer tax credit has been extended into 2010 plus a new tax credit for certain existing home owners. It also gives those who already own a residence some additional reasons to move to a new home. This incentive comes in the form of a tax credit of up to $6500 for qualified purchasers who have owned and occupied a primary residence for a period of 5 consecutive yrs during the last 8 yrs. It also raised the income level to qualify.
We have a new Concierge Specialist at the Home Resource Center where she will be serving both West Shell & King Thompson companies. Her name is Jenny Foss. She has been in the real estate industry in many different capacities since 1992. Her background began in mortgage and title and she became a licensed real estate agent in 1999. Having been an agent herself she understands how critical customer service skills are in this business. She delivers a take charge attitude and is always eager to help.
Linda will be having a CE class here on December 3 from 1-4. The class is “Business Planning”. She would like all of you to sign up to attend this class and get prepared for next year. Please sign up to attend with Susan in the training dept.
Congratulation to Evelyn Disher Hill. She received 2 checks in October for 2 different outgoing referrals she sent out by just making a phone call.
There will be a Crash Course class here this Saturday so if you are in and see new faces please be nice to them. They are going to be new agents with CBWS.
