Wanted to post a quick entry to let everyone know about our move from Keller Williams realty to Re Max. We are very excited and look forward to working with you in the future with the worlds largest real estate company.

Why we choose Re Max for your Dayton Ohio Real Estate needs…

Remax.com is now the second most used real estate web site. Second only to Realtor.com for the most real estate searches.

2. Now being on Remax.com will add to the already extensive list of real estate web site we expose our homes for sale on.
The worlds largest real estate company.
1. ReMax has a fantastic network of offices all across the globe.
2. This global presence provides great international exposure for you home.
3. International locations located near most military bases adds to the “top of mind” remax.com presence with relocating service members.
Fantastic new location at the Greene shopping center
1. Great central location to all Dayton Ohio real estate communities.
2. Adds to our Centerville location to serve you better.
Unbelievable marketing tools to add to your home marketing.

The ReMax difference

ReMax is the finest in the real estate industry. So ReMax Ohio agents in general have more experience, training and history of selling Dayton Ohio real estate than the average agent. So, when I was considering a move to a new real estate company the fact that ReMax would offer me the ability to be surrounded by other top producing agents was a big advantage. With other agents being generally less experienced it makes it more difficult to rise to the top…. competition drives success.

We wanted to be surrounded by the finest in the industry and no distractions!

Chip,

Funny too... yea I did get some profit and was a part owner that did better as an investment but the profit share did not outweigh the other costs...

Thanks for the good wishes...

Mark, 2 leads...that is pretty good. Is it from the office?

By the way, funny thing is that an agent in my office just left and went to KW. He said the training there is the best in the industry and that is one reason why he left and headed there. What do you think of the training there. He said it is the best place to start a career in real estate out of all the companies (ie C21, Coldwell Banker, Re/Max, etc) out there. Do you agree with that?

One of the main negatives of the KW system is this idea of "residuals." There are agents who concentrate on bringing in as many other agents as possible just to line them up for the possible eventual commission over-rides... residuals... whatever you want to call them.

I know of several KW offices who have ended up with hundreds of agents... the majority of which were brought in by other who were mainly hoping to eventually benefit from residuals. You end up with a total herd of agents... rather than agents who have joined because of the professional educational and business-growth benefits.

Karen Anne: Such sweeping generalizations are very unfair and misleading. KW's profit sharing can hardly be characterized as a negative... it may not be something that meets your needs or mine, but it does not interfere with anyone's business if they choose not to participate in recruiting. And for those who do, it provides for a nice additional source of passive income. It's a WIN-WIN.

I have been a successful KW agent for over 4 years and have NOBODY in my downline. It is not what I am there for, I am there to sell real estate. I love the culture, the technology the training and the ability to cap annually and earn 100% commission once I have capped.

Nobody has ever pressed me to recruit and the agents in my Market Center are DEFINITELY there because of the professional, educational and business-growth benefits. It is what our Market Center thrives on and is growing as a result of in this difficult market.

Steve: Sorry to have my negative impression from stories I have heard from some local KW agents reflect poorly on you and your office. That was not my intent. I am truly sorry... and apologize.

Karen Anne: No apologies are necessary... I just wanted to set the record straight. I feel like I know you from your AR posts and know that you would never write something like that with bad intentions. You have always impressed me as a person of integrity and professionalism.

We all hear feedback from other agents about what's good and not so good in their offices/companies and while some of it may be valid, some of it may simply be someone who is not in the "right" situation for themselves, or who had a bad personal experience that day and is just venting. At the end of the day I think that Remax and KW are both good organizations, both with their share of good agents, but with slightly different business models. I would never try to tell someone why KW or Remax would be right or wrong for them. I can only speak to why KW is right for me.

Good thoughts but I don't think we have to quite so PC... I don't think it is wrong to tell someone why KW or REMAX or any other company would be good or bad... if asked they give your best evaluation of the pros/cons...

You are right, both are good companies and they both have pros / cons... just have to evaluate them and pick what you think would be best for you...

Thanks,

Mark

Steve and Mark: Perhaps I was just a little "over" in my comments, so I have gone back and somewhat "muted" them. Take care... both companies are great... and I wish the best to all of their agents.

Karen,

I think you do have some valid points... In the offices I know well and from agents I have talked with all across the country the 80/20 rule is alive and well... many agents, not many producers.

I don't know if that is everywhere or not? My feeling is that it will not be so at REMAX given the fixed monthly cost regardless of production...?

Thanks John!

Always like to push myself... surround myself with high tallent and that shoud drive me was my thinking... My goal is to increase over last year by 50%... about what we did last year.
