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%.

Office meeting notes 2-11-09
NEW - effective Feb. 16 when you take a 7% listing then the seller does not have to pay the $175.00 broker commission fee.
Joe wanted to let everyone know that during these hard times when others are cutting back on agent development and marketing, we are locally getting ready to launch our “qualified answers” campaign and our “project trusted advisor” agent development program all designed to help our agents capture the business they deserve at the fee that they deserve.
The US Senate approved last week an amendment to give a tax credit up to $15,000 to anyone buying a home. If passed by Congress in this latest version, the homebuyer tax credit would be: either $15,000 or 10% of the purchase price (whichever is less) available to all homebuyers not just first time buyers. To include both new and existing homes that will be used as their primary residence only and need to live in the home for a minimum of 2 yrs. This will be for one calendar year from enactment of the legislation.
There is going to be a lot more land contracts in the near future. Mike Fletcher will be here at our March 3 meeting to answer any questions you might have regarding land contracts. What you can do and cannot do when writing a contract with a land contract.
Congratulations to Tim, Gary, Doc and Bill on receiving excellent Service Satisfaction Surveys this week.
Sign up sheet was passed around for the “Foreclosures & short sales” class that is going to be held at the Receptions in Loveland. Their address is 10681 Loveland Madeira Rd. There will be one class from 9 to12PM and another from 1-4PM on Thurs. February 19. A lot of our business now days involve these kinds of sales so you need to attend and find out how to do them. If you have not signed up please call Susan Trefilek in the Training Dept. (686-7643) to reserve your spot for the class.
