C.A.R. Top Producers Tips to Thrive in ‘09


“I believe that technology and the use ofrepetitive systems helped me reach my goals in 2008.During these hard times I started focusingmore on the little things again. I started

sendingweekly updates to allmy clients and giving them instant feedback after I left eachshowing. This helpedbuildmy relationshipswithmy existing clients and also helped growmy referral clientele. This was also a great way to helpme stay organized.

We also revised howour teamhandledlistings, buyers, EVERYTHING!Creating these systems helped all of

our daily to-do's flow smoothly. We stepped up our game one notch further by designingadditional marketingmaterials for our current listings and future listing presentations.

My advice for success in 2009 is to concentrate on the little things you can do to for yourclients. Send that quick e-mail regarding your weekend showings, call them at least oncea week to check in, let them know you care.”

Gold Award RecipientColin Hebson, DiVito+Hebson Group, @properties

“My success in 2008 resulted from work inall the traditionalmarketing areas of showandtell, with particular attention to customerservice and pricing. It did not matter if thebuyer wasmy client or another agent’s. To dothe deal I had to rise to another level of

sophistication in product presentation that included a through knowledge of the chosenproperty, community and competitive properties.

The issue of product pricing in a volatile real estate market meant continual priceevaluations. All buyers want a deal and all sellers want a profit. Finding the balancerequired constant market evaluation.

Success in 2009 will require better planning. Agents will have to reacquaint them-selveswith theirmarket, building-by-building, unit-by-unit. The financialmarket hasaffected all of real estate. Determinewhat changes occurred in yourmarket andwhoare now the prospective buyers. Stay connected to your market by increasing yourInternet presence and communication options. My most recent deal this yearrequired a lot of text messaging with my client, the seller, to come to a meeting oftheminds to get the deal done. And, yes, I amnowonFacebook andmy listings areon YouTube.

Set three big goals that will help you accomplish your annual goal. Expect to besuccessful this year and find a way to get it done. With all the bad newsaccentuate the positive news. And finally connect with other professionals inreal estate and other professions to share ideas and stay fresh.”

Platinum Award RecipientIris Ade, Prudential Preferred Properties

“With 2008 having come and gone, I wish I could forget it. However, in reflecting whatchanges I had to make, I have come to realize my attitude was the same as it was when Ibegan in this business - Do not give up, persevere, keep upbeat, think positive thoughts,be thankful for all the good things, and people have it a lot worse.

The biggest changewas diversifi-cation. When I first started realestate, when the listingswere notselling, I worked with buyers. I

became complacent with my listings and dealt more with sellers. I also learned aboutdifferent loans so that I had right lenders for different scenarios.

I went back to basics and got in touch with past clients I had lost touch with. I madesure people did not look at me as just a listing agent. I have gotten to know bankers.

My goal in 2009 is to continue to learn as much as I can, get my name out to asmany people and stress the importance of an experienced agent.”
