An unrivaled portfolio of
professional services sets us apart!
One distinguishing characteristic of the ideal real estate office is to have extraordinary
service capabilities. We pride ourselves in being able to offer an unrivaled portfolio of
services for you to take advantage of. Because we focus on you as a client, we constantly monitor your needs as a real estate professional. Our services allow you the time to expand your business or increase time spent on recreation and family.
We offer more standard services than any competitor, and these services set us apart:
Business Planning Assistance - we encourage you to treat your career as a business and help you prepare comprehensive real estate business plans. We show you what goes into them, how they are structured, and questions to ask. We believe a solid business plan is a prerequisite to take your business to the next level and we'll work with you to achieve it. They are a valuable tool for self-motivation and can also be used in personal financing.
Many of our sales associates structure their business along lines advocated by the real
estate industry's top trainers. We can assist you in planning with the system of your choice … Richard Robins, Brian Buffini, Howard Brinton, etc.
Financial Assistance - we offer a customized Draw program set up within our company which enables you to draw on finalized commissions.
Personal Marketing Department
Client Mailer Program - the objective is to enable you to build and maintain long term
relationships with your past, present, and prospective clients through professional, consistent and personalized contact, with a minimum of effort on your part. The creative, attractive and informative material sent out is designed to look as if it comes directly from you, not part of a mass mail program. For this reason we have invested in high tech equipment to put the
address directly on the envelopes rather than on a label. Regular contact improves customer relations, resulting in repeat business and referrals. This user pay service is
a big hit with our present sales associates as it is hands on and has a proven track record. Again - a systematic approach at a very reasonable cost. This system includes a dedicated administrator, a high-speed printer linked to a Pentium computer, folding and stuffing equipment, etc. - it has our commitment evidenced by a Broker initial investment in state of the art equipment valued at over $250,000.00.
Flyer and Postcard Program - A very popular service, this program continues to grow every month! You have a choice of one, two, three, four, or full colour flyers or postcards to aid in personal listings, buyers for the area and more. A picture of the property and the associate may be included. We have a variety of standard formats or templates to choose from or you can design your own. We handle all the printing and distribution. This is a highly effective marketing tool.
