Hi Everyone! Well, it's hard to believe that we've made it through our first official year as a Brokerage in the Colorado Springs Market! I started off with just two licensed assistants and now have 7 agents and a Broker Candidate in school. I learned ALL KINDS OF THINGS this year! I think it's wonderful that aside from my own sales, my Top Producer is a former client of mine who I encouraged to get her license.
Her name is Dianne Bieri and she has been a tremendous blessing to our family and Brokerage. Before I opened this place, she worked with me at my former Brokerage and graduated school just before we made the move. My former Broker, (still a very good friend of mine), said he didn't think she'd make it because she was "too quiet", but she's a great agent and a real go getter. She loves her kids and home-schools them and she helps her husband run his auto shop on the side...she is also very active in church and enjoys the vegan life style. Dianne is an extremely selfless person and doesn't drop hints that she would like anything special. While I know she would be grateful for anything at all, I'd like to do something SPECIAL for her, but no so much that I couldn't keep up for future years winners, you know?
I know I could get her an inscribed award or some kind of trophy...maybe a gift card...or money, but I want it to be something really special to encourage her. Any ideas? What would YOU like to get from your Broker if YOU were the Agent of the Year? Also, I'd like to get something reasonably priced, but not cheap, and useful for the other Brokers...any ideas?
I know she likes surprises!
she sounds like she has a very hectic schedule with little or no time off. What about a romantic weekend away with her husband to somewhere she has never been or always wanted to go. You can't put a price on well needed rest and relaxation. Her husband would also love to get away. Good luck finding the right gift.
