Realty Executives in The Villages is Realty Executives International\u2019s Brokerage of the Month for March 2018. With more than 75 real estate professionals serving popular areas in Florida including The Villages, Ocala, and Wildwood, the firm has thrived and experienced incredible agent count growth under the leadership of Broker\/Owner Glenn Stein, while remaining a leader in both sales volume and units sold over the last decade. *<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve always seen growth but lately we\u2019ve seen massive results. Realty Executives in The Villages has doubled in size over the last three years,\u201d said Stein. <\/p>\n
Stein opened the Ocala<\/a> office in 2004 and The Villages<\/a> office later that year with humble beginnings.<\/p>\n \u201cIn Ocala, it was my wife, me and two other agents. The Villages location later opened in a tiny office with zero frontage and three agents. In the early years, I partnered with leading Realty Executives agents who had become experts in The Villages before anyone knew much about the area. They did a great job taking the brokerage to the next level from 2004 up until 2014. I stepped back into the ownership role<\/a> in 2014 and since then we have grown from thirty-three to seventy-seven real estate agents. We have also grown in market share from closing $9.4 million in sales volume in 2005 to over $206 million in sales volume in 2017,\u201d Stein said.<\/p>\n As a best selling author and Tom Ferry business coach with a heart for training and teaching, Stein\u2019s goal remains to help all of the real estate professionals in his firm reach their individual goals for their businesses. Staying focused on adding value for agents in his firm has in turn led Executives to refer others to join the Realty Executives family. Those personal recommendations are incredibly powerful coming from agents with a reputation for integrity and productivity in the community.<\/p>\n \u201cMany of our top Executives including Cindy Wise, Sally Love, Kathy Abruzzo and Bob Bullock have paved the way by doing the right thing by our clients. People know this in the community, and expect \u2018level ten\u2019 service. This has set the bar for our entire brokerage with the rest of our group also providing excellence in real estate to the community,\u201d Stein said.<\/p>\n With a long-standing local reputation for success, key members of the brokerage rank among the best of the best across Realty Executives International\u2019s global network as well. Two leading teams hailing from Realty Executives in The Villages recently received top honors for their work last year, gaining special recognition in Realty Executives International\u2019s annual awards program<\/a>. Sally Love and her team took home two \u201cTop Team\u201d awards; the Silver for commission and the Bronze for units. \u00a0Leaders Kathy Abruzzo and Bob Bullock also scored \u201cTop Team\u201d awards including Gold for units and Bronze for commission.<\/p>\n Putting key administrative staff in place and increasing broker support has been another critical element to building a positive, agent-centric environment. \u201cOur administrative staff in the best. My wife Juliana is a vital part of the support team by being supportive when I need to help our Executives after hours,\u201d said Stein.<\/p>\n The firm has managed to blend tried-and-true, practical strategies for connecting with the community and each other while adding in high-tech approaches for today\u2019s business. As a market leader since 2006, Realty Executives in The Villages has great name recognition and utilizes advertising and marketing platforms consistently.<\/p>\n \u201cIn our 55 plus community, the newspaper is still king and we advertise daily. In addition to a weekly \u2018new listing\u2019 caravan bus tour, we also makes use of a company moving truck which boosts name recognition in the community. I conduct a Monday morning conference call, Wednesday afternoon business growth training session, and a twice monthly group coaching program via Zoom,\u201d Stein explains.<\/p>\n To build camaraderie while giving back, since 2006 the brokerage has taken part in golf tournaments benefiting Hospice and St. Jude’s. In 2017, the firm donated over $10,000 dollars to St. Jude as part of a golf tournament and silent auction event. Last year the company also held a musical bingo event and raised over $8,000 dollars to benefit the underprivileged children of Wildwood.<\/p>\n Whether in terms of training, networking, giving back to the community or providing local expertise to homebuyers and sellers, everyone throughout the Realty Executives team in The Villages benefits from the brand\u2019s approach to allowing the local experts freedom to run their own show.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Realty Executives brand just fits our entrepreneurial spirits perfectly,\u201d Stein said.<\/p>\n *My Florida Regional MLS<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Realty Executives in The Villages is Realty Executives International\u2019s Brokerage of the Month for March 2018.
