Announcing!!Okay, okay, now that I have your attention ;-), many of you know that I've been in the process of opening my own brokerage. WELL AS OF TODAY - yes TODAY!!! I'm officially THE BROKER of HOMES ARIZONA REAL ESTATE LLC. Homes Arizona Real Estate Logo

In early December 2007 I wrote a post about my thoughts and concerns regarding opening a brokerage to which I had lots of input. My post was entitled "Need Advice and Counsel From Employing Brokers ". So many of you jumped right in and shared, shared, shared!!!

Well, I'm here to tell you - I don't know what took me soooooo long to do this. Yes, it was a tad confusing (so if any Arizona Realtors want to know the steps give me a call), but once I get my name changed everywhere on all of my websites, blogs, technorati, and on and on, I'll have that all behind me.

CelebratingThanks to all of you (and you know who you are) who encouraged me to move forward. The ones who shared positive feedback are greatly appreciated.  This is such an awesome community, and I truly feel I've made many friends here. So - am I walking around with a smile on my face? Absolutely!! In fact, I think I'm mentally dancing a jig!! Know what that is everyone?

My former broker, Model Home Center, is an awesome company! Don Martin, the designated broker is amazing as well. I'll miss him, but plan to call him when I need help.

My brother has six listings and is bringing them all over. He's bragging about having the first SIX listings for the Homes Arizona. I recommend them to anyone looking for a stellar company! I've been there for 7.5 years, and the only reason I left was to begin my own company.

How do you like my other little lady in red?

Well? So are you all proud of me?  I knew it!! Thanks again, and I'll be here for a long, long time.

Good Job!!  I really do like your new "Lady in Red."  Can you get blond hair on the old one?

Marti, that tells me you DO read the post.....you knew there was a large project. I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag so as not to jinx it. Thanks for the kind words Marti, I appreciate them. ;-)

Lindsay, just don't wait as long as I did to get around to it. I knew it was a "good" thing two years ago. Took me awhile to get out of my comfort zone...... it's all good. ;-) Thank you very much.

Marchel, thank you.....three years? How cool is that? You know? I always did it all myself anyway. My own leads, my own websites? Silly that I waited so long. As my brother says, we just got a raise!!!

How wonderful, Teri!!!!  I'm so excited for you, and I would wish you luck, but heck, I don't think you'll need it.  When do the first signs go up and do we get pictures?  :)

03/06/2008 08:16 PM by Lisa Heindel, New Orleans West Bank Real Estate (Latter & Blum Inc. Realtors)


Teri, you are right, you just got a raise and you are going to LOVE IT!!  It is a big change but not REALLY as you were doing it already. 

03/06/2008 08:48 PM by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro ABR (Results Realty)


Dee, thank you so much. I appreciate your good wishes.

Lisa, lol......the signs will be ready next week. I'll share when they're ready. ;-)  My business cards should be here tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Let me be the first errrr... 29th to congratulate you!

(but I suspect she will). 

03/08/2008 12:02 AM by Chuck Willman, Arizona Realtor®, ABR, TRC (Gentry Realty)


Good luck to you. Its a rough business as you very well know but having your own brokage is the best way to go.

03/08/2008 10:48 AM by Richard Lecinski (Long Realty Company)


Richard, I think so as well. It was time for me to hang my sign. I've always been on my own anyway, so why not go for it? ;-)  Thanks for coming by and for your comment.

YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND!!!!
Of course we are proud of you! I can say...I knew you when!!!!
Congratulations

03/08/2008 12:09 PM by Joeann Fossland, Master Certified Coach (Advantage Solutions Group)


Good for you! We're coming up on 5 years in our own office and we love it. I bet you do, too. Freedom is a really nice thing.

03/08/2008 12:54 PM by Leslie Prest, Prest Realty, Payson, AZ


Teri--I find this very ironic as I just had a conversation about how the trend to go out on your own is going to continue and expand with a broker/manager who basically told me I was nuts...Looking at you, Marchel, BB and several others that I respect, vindicates my statement. Congratulations! I think this will be an awesome move for you.

03/08/2008 02:42 PM by Teri Eckholm, Realtor® Anoka County MN (Keller Williams Premier Realty)


Joeann, I appreciate your congrats.....you've been a HUGE resource of information, and I appreciate your teaching skills and knowledge. Just because I've completed the GRI - actually my last class to obtain the GRI was with you on 9/11......what a day that was!!! AND your class on technology was awesome. I learned so much.....thank you again. ;-)

03/08/2008 02:42 PM by Mesa, Arizona Real Estate *** Teri Ellis, Broker, ABR,CRS,GRI,ePRO,MRE (Homes Arizona Real Estate LLC)


Loreena, thank you so much. I am all over it!!! ;-)

Leslie, I love flying solo - so to speak!! Thank you for stopping by.

The other Teri E: thank you Teri, and go for it if you're thinking that way. As far as I am concerned, name (Teri Ellis, the Lady In Red) recognition is very important. Now is a great time to go out on our own. We're not as busy (making money), and it is such a cool feeling. Kinda like rearranging your furniture in that room full of stuff - know what I mean? ;-)
