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.

2008I 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!

Roberta: He just blew everyone away...seriously. Thought I would share how much he's put into advertising and following up and blogging that has brought him all this success!

What a great tribute, Sally. You and Randy are the best Hawaii has to offer...well, there's Georgina too!

Randy seems like such a classy guy, a great example of one of the very best Professionals here on AR.  Have a great week Sis!

Sally, great ThemThem about Randy and your history with him at your office and then you coming over to Active Rain. I just want to give him kudos as well as I had been a member of Active Rain just reading blogs for many months until I started writing some and Randy was one of the first to welcome me and encourage me along. So along with you, another Hawaiian I think fondly of, you've got a special one there with Randy. I think the other key to Randy is that colorful shirt of his (seriously, it is great branding) : )

05/26/2008 10:51 PM by Gary Woltal - REALTOR® Dallas Ft. Worth (Keller Williams Realty)


So cool to see that kind of friendship and commraderie......over the years to have someone watching your bck in your office....and in your business...that was a really nice commendation!

05/26/2008 11:29 PM by Liz Moras- Team Leader & Managing Broker Keller Williams Valley Realty (Serving Abbotsford, Chilliwack & Fraser Valley)


You both deserve the best, you both are the best.  What a dynamic duo!

05/26/2008 11:30 PM by Virginia Hepp - Mesquite Nevada Real Estate Agent (ERA Brokers Consolidated - Mesquite NV Homes)


What a nice team you two make.....I'm laughing at Randy's comment of using this for as long as he can :)  Yep, a good team.....I am happy for Randy that all his work has paid off, and happy that you found a way to be productive during some of our slower times.  Keep Bloggin'.....I think it's pretty clear that we Thank Randy for inviting you :)

05/26/2008 11:58 PM by Kathy McGraw


Sally- You must be a God send for Randy at this time with all your support and multi tasking abilities. This is also a warm and kind thing to give him the kudos he rightly deserves.

Gee Sally you are going to make me blush.  You have been a great friend and agent.  (And a Blogging Machine)

Working in a great office is one of the things that has made my business growth possible.  The help of the other agents makes it possible for me to schedule several open houses each week. 

Your jumping in to help manage the transactions and maintain my files has taken a lot of pressure off me.  With your support, I know I can handle even more business and continue to provide the highest level of service possible.

Thank you!!

Super Sally!  What a loving tribute to your friend and mentor Randy!

05/27/2008 05:24 AM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


Morning Sally,

It tis, for sure, an extra special when you have a co-worker as a friend. We meet and know many as we pass thru this world, but few make it to the level of "Friend" You and Randy have found that level.

Good for you and Randy, It doesn't surprise me that he found a friend in you. I wish you both continued success.

05/27/2008 06:05 AM by Harold (Hal) Place (A1 Connection Realty, Inc.)


Thanks to all who left comments to commend Randy! 

And to Randy...you? Blush?  I doubt that....lol!

05/27/2008 12:53 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), e-PRO HAWAII Relocations & HAWAII Real Estate (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


I have to add my commendations to Randy, also. Every agent that I know who has had a transaction with Randy always complements him on his professionalism and expertise. I'm proud of his influence on our industry, and glad to know him. Sally, he always has the highest compliments for you also.

(P.S.: Randy, thanks for inviting me into AR, and Sally, for inving me to join your Positive Attitudes for the Weary Soul group. And Randy, another $Million listing? Rock on!)

05/27/2008 03:22 PM by Michael Mackey (R) ABR, CRS, GRI (CENTURY 21 All Islands)


Mike: That was sweet of you to mention that he has high compliments for me.... I know, he tells me too :)  Just don't let on that he has a soft spot...he doesn't like to be known as a 'touchy feely' kind of guy hahaha!  Believe me......Randy is in high heaven right now...and I sure don't blame him. I've not seen anything like this in our office before. This is extraordinary.

Thanks for coming by to give your commendation...it will be well received!

05/27/2008 05:45 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), e-PRO HAWAII Relocations & HAWAII Real Estate (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)

The title is correct...it's actually ME...the blogging fiend...and Randy the business hound.

 

 

Duane: You're welcome...a great group for a tribute to others.

Gita: We're not only friends ...we're in the same office :)

05/27/2008 08:44 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), e-PRO HAWAII Relocations & HAWAII Real Estate (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Sally, LOL, my bad. Figured it out after I sent it to you, then looked it up, figured you weren't the "devil", so had to be the "fiend"!

05/27/2008 08:48 PM by * Rate A Home (Rate A Home)


Sally keep on staying on task and it will also come together for you like it has for Randy. 

And between you and me, so don't tell him, he is "not just another pretty face" .............. LOL

05/27/2008 09:35 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)


Thanks Duane..you weren't the only one who emailed! too funny. then again...I guess I write funny sometimes :)

Robert: He's feeling good without me telling him :) Now...to finish some work.

George:  Hahahha. I know. He keeps saying that all over the place with me right there hahaha. And to tell you the truth George...it did. I have one in escrow and my work at the office and also helping Randy.... Gary was nagging yesterday to get off the pc and watch a movie with him lol!
