RE/MAX - now I am speechless...

Since I joined RE/MAX Assured Properties last week (yes, last week) I have gotten so many calls, emails and even a nice hand written note congratulating me on the move and wishing me great success.

I am overwhelmed at the flood of compliments about RE/MAX and specifically the office I choose to work with. There is an obvious love for this organization that I was not aware of when I was working with a different company.

I wanted to share one email that was sent to me (I have not put the agents name in as I do not want to embarrass anyone)...

----------

Hi Charles,

I am glad you made the move to RE/MAX! I have mentioned to quite a few people this year how pleasant and professional you were to work with. I can honestly say that I have not worked with anyone better over the last 9 years.

I am sure everyone will enjoy and appreciate you being there.

Regards,

I have to say that this is such a nice compliment I am a little lost for words.

Yes Charles is "Speechless"

It is really nice to be at a company where the agents want to see you succeed!

Stay tuned I have a feeling this is not my last post about RE/MAX!

2008

Well, Charles...Let me add my congratulations! Welcome to RE/MAX!!! They're lucky to have you as an agent.

Birds of a feather flock together.......and I am not surprised you would be getting a lot of congrats notes. It is more about you than the office, Charles. I am happy you have found a new home where you will thrive.

Charles - You are going to be kicking yourself that you did not make the move sooner. I know when I started at RE/MAX in 96 thats all I though about.

Charles,

Welcome and continued success!

NANCY - Thank you I feel that is was a great move!

BONNIE - Thanks and I agree that I will thrive with RE/MAX.

Charles, I am not an agent but I do have several people that I associate with that are Re/Max agents. They seem to be doing well and like the company. 8-)

BILL - I already am!!!

DAN - Thank you my friend!

Great decision to come to REMAX. They are an awesome company and a leader. In our area we see more REMAX signs than any other real estate sign, which really helps for marketing. Good luck in 2008 and I wish you tons of success!

MICHAEL - it is amazing to see the respect for the organization!

LANITA - thank you my friend!

Charles, Congratulations on choosing RE/MAX. I would have loved to have stayed after 11 years, but locally it was not working when our former broker/owner didn't renew his franchise.

It is a fantastic company and you will get great support nationally and regionally with all the systems to help agents.

MISSY - Thank you so much and best of luck to you in 2008!

Congrats Charles! It sounds like you've made the right move....and what a beautiful testimonial !!

JO-ANNE - I think so too!

Congratulations Charles! FYI--your 'Charlotte' partner made a big move last month as well. It's a great way to start the New Year! Best of luck to you, I know you'll be successful, no matter the firm you're with!

Debe in Charlotte, NC

DEBE - thank you my friend!

Charles--The most important thing that an agent can do is finding a broker you love and feel at home with. Here's to your success!

TERI - Agreed and thank you!

Good for you Charles ! You deserve to be in a better place and I am so glad you took the leap !

Charles,

When I joined ReMax a couple months ago I was SO surprised (pleasantly!!) at the outpouring of offers of assistance, information. sharing and general empathy for 'starting over' in a new brokerage. The RM organization is unlike anything I have ever experienced and I will forever be grateful to be among them.

But, in all honesty, based on the email you posted you have a following. One that will be with you no matter where your license is. This, in itself, is a true testament to your business acumen, your professionalism and your character. Congratulations on achieving those very important goals.

I hope you will be attending the convention in March. I'm told it's a real boost to understanding the ReMax business model and building a network of professionals.

Take care - be well - and stay on top!

MELISSA - It will be nice to be in a organization that takes on challenges!!!

CAROL - Thank you so much for your comment and compliment. It was really amazing that the message you are referring to came to me after I joined RE/MAX, that says a lot for the organization too.

Charles, Now you start your own series of posts on "Why I love Re/Max." I don't think that title is copyright protected.

I looking forward to reading it, but only if its about you and not some other Re/Max agent. And you don't need Tom Cruise's picture, yours will work just fine.

Bill Roberts

BILL - thank you my friend!

Now that is how it should work! Awesome!!

Charles,

Welcome to RE/MAX and glad to have you on the team. Best of luck to you for 2008.

Charles, what took you so long to smell the preverbial coffee? I started at C-21 in 1996 & moved to RE/MAX in 1999...Never looking back! Welcome to the Franchise! Is there a RE/MAX Group on AR?

Thanks again, from Idaho,

Don Wixom RE/MAX Advantage www.sellidaho.com

Charles, once again, welcome to RE/MAX. Maybe you should plan on hopping over to the RE/MAX International Convention in Vegas this March to get you really fired up. I am hoping to make it there too.

The best is yet to come! I found there were so many prime time opportunities from being associated with REMAX over the years. You need to listen to why persons will seek you out, and listen to what people and corporations say about us! Over the years we have been interviewed by major TV stations, radio stations, Internet news sites, Bank Rate.com, national TV networks, newspapers, trade magazines, heads of corporations because of my visibility and affiliations. Think of it this way...when was the last major interview you heard of with a no name company on the evening news? You more than most because of you high visibility, are going to reap a lot with this affiliation! Best wishes!

VANESSA - Agreed that is awesome!

KAREN - Thank you

DON - I am there now and yes the group is: RE/MAX Active Rain Bloggers

BRIAN - I am considering it!

JIM - That is a well rounded way to look at things and I appreciate your views! Makes good sense!!!

Congrats on the move... It will make you open your eyes to the potential and the incredible amount of freedom that you know have. Good luck and stay motivated in 2008!

Charles After 27 years with RE/MAX I remember when my hsband's prior broker told him, "RE/MAX won't last." The firm no longer exists

Charles,

Have you really ever been speechless?

Sterling Illinois Real Estate

congrats & welcome to RE/Max

Charles right on for your move. I wish you the best with Remax. I too am in the market to move in a month or so. I hate the start up fees and changes but I will be doing it soon.
