Owner with a Leading Eye on the Future
A milestone event in my Philadelphia real estate career occurred this past week. I am now owners with Steven Osiecki, long time friend and mentor, of RE/MAX Affiliates in Philadelphia. It has been a bit of a different perspective thinking about the growth opportunities of the office, the profit and loss, training and recuriting of agents and so forth. Some would say I am crazy buying into a real estate business and franchise in this economy !!! But so be it, I think there is great opportunity ! My goal is transparent: Being an owner with a leading eye on the future to create opportunities in the new real estate world.
At this point in our real estate career, it felt like the right thing to do. I believe we can provide an environment and culture in this new real estate world where agents can thrive and consumers can benefit immensely. Stephanie and I plan on using many of the same marketing strategies that helped propel us as agents for the office. Thus, our goal will be to help our people - the current Realtors in the office as well as new agents that we recruit to be the best Agents possible and to provide them with the tools and training that they will need to stand above the crowd.
The good news with our office is that for 2008, we were number seven in all of Philadelphia for total number of transactions. In addition, every office that was ahead of us with the exception of 1, had many more agents. We have a great foundation to grow !
