JERRI THOM PREMIER REALTY NETWORKS WWW.PRN-GROUP.COM Founded in 2004, the real estate firm, “Exclusively Yours by Jeri Thom” found success during the recession by staying true to their core beliefs. Even though the recession lasted longer than anticipated, the firm is one of the few small local brokerage firms to survive the real estate downturn. Much of that success is attributed to a team of experienced agents who focused on providing excellent customer service and client retention. Ready for a new beginning, Exclusively Yours changed their name to “Premier Realty Network, INC., and has added a new company structure. This new structure included modernized logos, signage, website and wider internet presence. Internet marketing plays a major role in promoting real estate and provides a more convenient exposure to its customers making the process easier. Premier Realty Network’s goal is to merge the buying and selling experience with other aspects of the real estate industry to make the experience is as easy as possible. This process operates under one umbrella and provides a simpler solution for the customer. Traditional real estate activities will continue through Premier Realty Network, but rental and property management will work with "DANJO Managed Executive Properties.” Statistics show, staged or restyled homes sell faster and at a higher price than competitors. In addition to the changes, the PNR-group is launching the Premier Restylers Network, where they will learn how to restyle a home or developing simple staging techniques. By teaching these techniques, they hope to outsell the competition. Today’s buyers and sellers are overwhelmed by information and become confused during the buying and selling process. PRN-Group views it as their job to help discern the relevant information and help identify a plan. By doing so, we are building a highly effective team that is known in the market for its innovative approaches and integrity. 22 | | F O R U M MF O R RB U S ISNI E S S S FORU FO BU NES
