Well, it has been an interesting ride to be sure, but we made it through another year. While we did not set any records for business growth, we met all of our goals for the year. In this market, that is something in and of itself.
My family is happy and healthy. Our clients are satisfied that their properties are being well cared for. We owe a debt of gratitude to all the agents that made our success possible. Our business is still 95% word-of-mouth referral, and word has definitely gotten around Sacramento that there is a great (and small) service-based property management company in town that is raising the standard of excellence for our industry.
Our $400 per client referral fee has been a decent attraction, but most of the agent I talk to say the fee is incidental. "Just take care of my clients" is the most common comment. Some agents even refuse to accept the referral fee, though we still donate $50 per referral transaction to a local charity.
Once again, to all of you that made our success possible, a sincere thank you for your support. We look forward to an amazing 2009, despite all media outlet reports to the contrary.
