Description

Working with lenders to stay compliant with everchanging legislation in how they order, manage and receive their appraisals for their residential mortgage loans. Mercury Network is a no-cost vend

About Me:

Since 1996 I have worked in various sales and training positions with a la mode, the number one technology provider for the real estate industry players in the nations.  Some of the titles and postions I have held include:

• Sr. Sales Representative (appraisal)
• Director of Training and Events
• Sr. Sales Representative (real estate agent)
• VP of Agent Sales

With the launch of our Vendor Management Platform, Mercury (http://www.mercuryvmp.com) I have been promoted to Account Executive and tasked with consulting and training lenders how to stay compliant and ensure a smooth order and tracking method for ordering their appraisals.

In January of 2003, I passed the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission state test and became a Provisional Sales Associate.  In that same month, knowing that I wanted to build a future in real estate, I joined the National Association of REALTORS® and became a Certified Instructor with the Oklahoma Board of REALTORS.  Using the same marketing strategy that I had developed and taught all over the country for over two years, I landed my first client within 15 days of having my license and helped them buy their dream home and sold the home where they were currently living - in less than seven days. 

In August 2008 I was given the Outstanding Production Award by Keller Williams and have been recognized numerous times for listings and units sold awards.

My interests include:

• Teaching all facets of the real estate industry how to build a successful and streamlined business model.
  
• Travel to our favorite destination, Cozumel, Mexico.
  
• I am an avid ocean enthusiast and I love golf and having friends over for barbeques by our pool in the summer.

I am also an active member and published author for the Agent Marketing Insider by a la mode.  You can find many useful and real world real estate suggestions here, http://www.agentmarketinginsider.com/

Testimonials

"Eric was exactly what we were looking for in an agent when we were selling our home.  His insight of technology and his approach to selling our house was different than all of the other agents we talked to." - Rich and Megan Bagby

"Thank you for finding the perfect home for us!" - Chris and Jodie Spradlin

"This guy is like the Yoda of all things real estate." - Jason Chartrand

"I couldn't be happier with the way you sold my home" - Jan Bolton

"As an advocate for his clients, Eric is simply the best I have ever worked with. And I have a list of clients that would echo my feelings. Eric and I have worked together on several occasions. Often the lender/Realtor relationship is cordial at best, but with Eric I feel like I have a teammate, and that directly translates into a great experience for the client. Eric seems comfortable in any setting, but he is fantastic in higher-end situations where his clients expect him to be genteel in his presentation and yet tough in negotiations. Ask him about the young couple in Yukon. It would take too long to account here, but Eric took what could have been a horrible situation and turned it into the most lopsided victory for his buyers that I have ever seen. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric Richardson, and I'd love to have him on my side of the table for every deal."  - Chris Mountford, OKC Home Loans

If he's available, get him." - Adam Calvery, Product Marketing Manager, a la mode

"Eric came in at a critical time of transition for a la mode. In a way that only he could, Eric mentored and motivated our team to excellence and helped us achieve stellar results that we would not have without his sales skills. His training then proves invaluable for me even today." - Ryan Capshew, Sales Representative a la mode
