EVERETT'S BEEN THINKING

Welcome to November, where has 2013 gone? The old saying “Time flies when you’re having fun” certainly applies to us. My father used to say, “show me a busy real estate agent and I’ll show you a happy real estate agent.” ERA King should have a lot of happy real estate agents because we are once again having a remarkable year.

January 01, 2013 - October 30, 2013 :

2013 Units are 1148 representing a 19.71% increase over 2012

2013 Dollar Volume is $207,591,571 representing a 26.32% increase over 2012.

How is this possible? Well, thankfully the economy is finally improving. However, it is not improving at a 19% or 26% clip like we are.

So why is ERA King outperforming the economy and most importantly the real estate market? I’ll try to list a few of the obvious reasons:

• Agent support. ERA King has 22 full time agent support personnel. One staff person per every 4.4 agents. I would challenge anyone to beat that!

• Offices are always in mint condition, up to date décor and great locations. (Signing lease for new location in Pell City this month, details to follow) The offices are meant to be an agent support tool in addition to human support.

State of the art technology and technology partners, including Cevado, Home Zone, Trulia, Homes.com and Realtor.com. Additionally: ERAKing.com, 98 agent websites, LeadRouter, Docusign, Dot Loop, ERA King Apps, virtual tour on every listing, a unique website for every listing and on and on…..
