For the first time in our career, my partner and I have 12 escrows in the pipe!
Between our own listings, our buyers, and the short sales I am facilitating, we have 12 transactions in escrow.
And we have six more in the works!
Because of the extremely hard work and diligence we've put in over the last year, and the GREAT positive energy from being part of the John Aaroe Group, we are out-of-control busy and have hired a 2nd assistant to help with the real estate transactions and marketing. (and she is amazing!)
I have all my my short sales on a online platform that is extremely powerful that helps me track every element of the short sale, all contacts, and keeps everyone who is a party to the transaction updated instantly.
We also signed up for a real estate all-in-one marketing/database/transaction platform that is not only the best I've ever seen, but extremely affordable.
Anyway, I'm really happy that the hard work we've put in is coming to fruition.
Now the trick is to handle the growth properly to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
That's great Ralph. It can get a little discouraging sometimes when you put in so many hours, and work so darn hard, if the payoff isn't forthcoming as quickly as you like. BUT.... it does pay off and just like you are finding, is very worthwhile. Congrats.
12 pending closings is exciting, get a lot of sleep and work hard to keep them together, congrats.
Congratulations, Ralph. 12 is definitely a lot of escrows. Good job and keep it up! If you need to refer anything to the OC, let me know!
You'll be tired over the next few weeks. May they all close quicly and easily. Then, repeat!
All I can say is wow, wow, and wow again. You certainly work hard and deserve this success.
Ralph - Congratulations! "next":)
Congratulations, Ralph! It sounds like you guys are doing great! Keep it up!
Congrats, Ralph! Will you e-mail me with the software and marketing/database/transaction platform and management system that you put in place?
Fantastic Ralph. What a good feeling that business is picking up and flying high!! Congratulations my friend.
Daniel,
It is called MyRealEstateTools.com
It's the BEST, most intuitive and complete database platform out there.
And very affordable.
It was developed by real estate agents FOR real estate agents.
I think I may write a blog about it and its features, so watch my blog posts this week.
Ralph, congratulations on your business. I look forward to reading your post on the tool you mentioned.
So nice to hear hard work pays off. I will be looking forward to reading about the new tool you found.
Congratulations, Ralph and Richard. It's tough not to let things slip through the cracks when one gets to busy. Glad you have backup help on your team.
That is great. Lots of work to get this many. Good luck with the closings!
