Interviewer: Hi I'm Kathy Soltero with Metro Brokers TV, and today we are in the studio with Terry Gist, with Metroplex Realtors, Terry thank you so much for coming in and talking with us today.
Terry Gist: Thanks for having me today.
Interviewer: Tell us a little bit about your real estate career, tell us about yourself.
Terry Gist: Well I grew up in Aurora, I've been here since 1976. I went to school here; I went to college here, so I'm pretty much a Denverite.
Interviewer: Okay, and how about real estate, how long have you been in the business?
Terry Gist: I've been serving buyers and sellers in real estate since 1997.
Interviewer: Wow, so you have seen a lot of ups and downs in the market and that sort of thing.
Terry Gist: Absolutely.
Interviewer: And what locations do you focus on, are you pretty much in the Aurora area, or do you spread out across the Metro?
Terry Gist: All of Metro, I've sold from Colorado Springs up to Ft. Collins, but I'm primarily in Aurora and the Denver Metro area.
Interviewer: And real estate does take a lot of extensive education and that sort of thing, what sort of credentials do you have?
Terry Gist: Currently I have the GRI, and it's the mark of a real estate professional that's focused and committed to excellent service and we do take a higher standard of ethics with it.
Interviewer: That's right, and are you involved in any organizations or activities in your area?
Terry Gist: I'm involved in two of the Metro Broker committees, the marketing and the membership committees, at this time, for the last two years.
Interviewer: Okay and tell me what sort of involvement does that require?
Terry Gist: Well we do a lot of research in looking at what's going to happen, what changes are going to be made for Metro Brokers, for new members coming in, the marketing that we are going to do for the next year, and changes that we need to make to the budget to fulfill those commitments that we've committed to.
Interviewer: How have you felt that being a part of Metro Brokers has enhanced your real estate for you or for your customers?
Terry Gist: Well with Metro Brokers- I've never had (an agent) that I've ever had a conflict with, Metro Brokers work very well together, and I would say that with the high standard of ethics within the organization- we are all realtors. It's a good company, and all the companies are independent, but they absolutely work very well together, I've been with my office the entire 16 ½ years.
Interviewer: Oh that's awesome, that's kind of unusual for realtors.
Terry Gist: Absolutely, they move every two or three years.
Interviewer: How do you feel the market is going at this point? Do you think....things turn....
Terry Gist: Absolutely, it started to turn up, and I think it's going to be a sellers market soon, I'm hoping by next year.
Interviewer: It is kind of frustrating when you start to put in offers and you see multiple offers.
Terry Gist: Absolutely.
Interviewer: And if you are the seller, that's a good thing and on the other hand.
Terry Gist: Right.
Interviewer: Okay, well and tell us how your customers can get a hold of you?
