Have you ever felt that you had all the talent and the drive necessary to be a top producing agent in your market, but just couldn't find your way to achieve it? If you're like so many agents I speak to, you've attended sparse training classes, worked with mentors in your office (for a fee), and have gone to the occassional seminar searching for answers to increase your productivity. Sound familiar?
Sometimes in order to make a paradigm shift, you have to change your perspective and your environment. The stories of the agents I am blessed to work with everyday will prove my point that stepping outside your comfort zone and trying something new can change your life.
George Jackson had been at Keller Williams Realty before I joined as Broker over three years ago. I was immediately impressed with his professionalism, his overall persona, and his sweet spirit. He struggled with business systems and seminars trying to find his niche and to increase his productivity. We both knew his talent was far outweighing his income. It wasn't until we transferred to RE/MAX ADVANTAGE SOUTH that George found his way. Just last month, he closed more transactions than he did all last year. This alone is an incredible feat. But, the increase in income means so much more. January '08, George had a goal to make en
ough money and to get his business working properly so that he could ask his sweet, beautiful girlfriend Alissa to marry him. We didn't make it last year. But, last Friday evening, with his MegaTeam and his RE/MAX family watching with tearful eyes of joy, George accomplished his goal by asking the big question in a heartfelt planned event at Vulcan Park in Birmingham.

This is life changing; it's meaningful! I can't tell you how proud I am to have been involved every step of the way and finally seeing his success and his goal come to fruition. He's finally found his perfect place in lif
e and in business. He has flourished with the RE/MAX business model; especially with his MegaTeam membership and all the coaching he and I did prior to joining them. I knew he was destined for brighter things. We just had to bring them out together. And, his hard work is paying off professionally and personally.

Her people skills are so amazing that her clients adore her. But, while at Keller Williams devoting her extra time to the Agent Leadership Council, her sales started to slip and her interest was wanning. She knew convincing her husband to join the business would boost her sales and her spirits. But, it wasn't until we all joined RE/MAX ADVANTAGE SOUTH that her talent re-emerged like gang busters and she started closing everything in sight. In less than 90 days of the transfer, Kira earned nearly $40,000. With just a few months in the RE/MAX system, she is about to cap. What's more important, she and her husband have been able to provide for a private Christian education for their incredible 16 year old son and buy him an H3 Hummer for his 16th birthday. Nothing is more important to Kira than taking care of her clients and providing for her family. She's just getting started with RE/MAX. We're going to see her skyrocket even more!
Scott Howell was previously with RE/MAX Advantage, but was hit hard by the change in the market. As a new agent over seven years ago, he experienced instant success because of his strong people skills. But, he admits his follow up systems were lacking. He left RE/MAX and joined me at Keller Williams where we immediately started rebuilding and implementing systems into his business. He constantly struggled for an income and was losing hope because his sales were not reflecting his new business sense. When we all transferred to RE/MAX Advantage together, Scott partnered up with Vinnie Alonzo and made magic happen. Together, they have earned nearly $50,000 in less than 90 days. Their listing inventory is strong and they closed 6 transactions last month. Through it all, I have seen Scott's faith grow stronger and a confidence about himself has emerged. Scott and Vinnie are great role models for experienced agents in this market learning to change with it to better serve clients and increase their incomes. They have much more in the pipline and are continuing to prosper.
These are only a few of the success stories of the agents that I'm so blessed to coach and to spend the one on one time with deeply supporting and helping grow their businesses. Because I have longed to provide the agents I work with the most attention they deserve in helping them grow, I too have finally found the right place at the right time, RE/MAX Advantage South. It has allowed me to fulfill my heart's passion by helping over 30 agents who have a hunger to succeed, DO It!
Please stay tuned for more uplifting accounts our agents are experiencing. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing them exceed their goals. There's a better way to sale real estate. Sometimes you just need to have the direction in which to see it. Being at the Right Place at the Right Time with the Right People can change your life!
