Realtor Bragging Rights
Professionals who are coached from Day #1 in the business never to be “secret agents” can hardly be expected to be shy when they receive a sales honor.
Especially one as meaningful and hard-earned as an Edina Realty “Circle” award, handed out annually to the company’s top agents (mine is pictured above).
“Birds of a Feather” (Flock Together)
Why should clients care?
Two reasons:
One. Expertise.
The best way to become a top agent is to . . . work with other top agents. Edina Realty – City Lakes has some of the very best in the Twin Cities. And that extends to City Lakes’ excellent Manager, Jennifer Cutter, who delivered over two dozen awards yesterday with personalized “thank you’s” (and a zinger or two). Plus Edina Realty’s industry-leading title department, mortgage lenders, and in-house counsel.
Two. Networking.
Guess what all those top agents are tapped into?
Listings!
And, perhaps more importantly in today’s inventory-starved market, upcoming listings.
Networking²
Assuming a typical, high-producing agent (conservatively) has about 300 people in their network, an office with a couple dozen of those agents could easily reach thousands (or tens of thousands) of people.
People who may be contemplating moving, or, have already hired a Edina Realty colleague, and may be just weeks away from coming on the market.
Think that might be an advantage for prospective Buyers?
As they like to say in the Upper Midwest . . . “You betcha!”
