This is more of a commendation than a pat on the back. I needed to do this because I am fortunate to have not only a great friend but a wonderful Realtor® to work side by side with over the years.
Before I start I just want to go through a few things with you all about Randy Prothero. For one, he is the one who invited me to ActiveRain. So if you want to blame anyone for the blogging fiend I turned into...and still am ....you can blame him.
But I thank him. If it weren't for joining ActiveRain I would not have gotten leads. I wouild not have closed transactions. I would not have made as many connections and friends as I have made over the last year and some odd months.
Century 21 Liberty Homes in Mililani, Hawaii is the office we hang our licenses with. From the beginning, Randy and I have connected. For one, we have the same values and beliefs regarding our duties as Real Estate agents. For another, we have the same sick humor. Seriously, the details of a transaction we are consistent with and truly believe that in the end we have ourselves and our clients covered.
I have also worked in the office for almost as long as I've been hanging my license there as part time administrative assistant and support for our agents.
Over the past year sales have slowed down and my part time job kept me afloat in between clients. For Randy, he was getting his health back and still managed to keep business moving too.
So you want to know what's been happening this year for Randy? I just have to say I am just amazed! For all the years he has put into advertising and education he was blasted with clients the last couple of months. Clients, leads and even new referrals have consistently come in.....ALL at once. He now has MANY listings (3 are in contract) and a couple of buyers in contract, a new listing signed yesterday and a few condos coming up too.
But Randy and I also believe in something else. When it's overwhelming....call in forces. That's where I come in. Yup...teamwork and it's working fine. I do the paperwork and he flaps his lips and brings in more clients.
As Randy says, "I'm going to take advantage of this as long as I can". Can you blame him? He's entering a listing for another million dollar home tomorrow.
Year to date Agent award for Century 21 Liberty Homes definitely goes to Randy Prothero!

Note: Oh, and because I am very good with multi tasking, I still had time to take out a client on Saturday, write a contract, get an accepted contract and ........ finish MANY files of Randy's and .......blog! MOOOAAHAAAHAAAA! I'm off from the office until Thursday. Whew.
Sally, Sounds like Randy is doing great! It is nice that you both work together to make things happen. Good luck to both of you and keep up the good work!
