Real Estate Company offers INCENTIVE to agents/brokers?? - 10/31/08 04:07 PM
I would be interested in gaining feedback from my AR community on incentive programs offered to agents/brokers when recruiting additional agents to the office. 
Currently, I have a program for my 95/5 (full) agents when recruiting another 95/5 (full) agent.  I provide them $500 immediately and then place their name in a drawing for $2500 at our annual Holiday Party. 
I would like to hear some ideas for the agents that recruit for me that are on splits, such as 70/30 or 80/20?  What if they recruit someone that comes in on a 70/30 or 80/20 and not 95/5, how can … (2 comments)

Beaufort Association of Realtors  hosted an Oyster Roast to benefit RPAC (Realtors Political Action Committee).  The event was held at Pinckney Retreat, which is a wonderful waterfront neighborhood in the Beaufort area.  The event was well attended, with music being provided by country music writer and singer Brannan Logan!

100 Days to Greatness, Brian Buffini - 10/14/08 03:42 PM
Tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. EST, I watch my final day of Brian Buffini's 100 Days to Greatness  on RE/MAX Satellite Network (RSN).  The interesting thing about this is: "I don't sell real estate.  I am a non-competing owner Realtor."  I wanted to go through the course to make sure that it was something I wanted to promote to my agents.  Well, it exceeded my expectations! 
100 Days to Greatness shows a new agent or an experienced agent how to work their real estate business by referral.

Bluff Farm on Ladys Island near Beaufort South Carolina - 10/10/08 01:57 PM
