What in the world is going on over at Gary Greene, Realtors?

by Ken Brand, Sales Manager - Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors / The Woodlands TX / Cell: 832-797-1779 on May 11, 2012

What’s up with GG?

Prudential Gary Greene, REALTORS® is going Wayne Gretsky!  We’re skating to where the puck will be, not where it was.

Opportunities are rich and ridiculous for the foreseeable future.  We’re remodeling, retooling, reinventing and stretching for the stars.

Bold and imaginative actions will win biggest and gain the most.  We plan to help our team members and our clients win bigger and better than ever.  We aim to dent the real estate universe.

We’re remodeling our Research Forest Office to welcome our Portofino Office brothers and sisters.  Our luminescent team of agent icons will number one hundred strong. We’ll be settled and surging by the end of June.  Fun times.

We’re already killing it for our clients, together our future results will only grow stronger. Success breeds even more success.

I heard Gary Greene sold out?

Prudential Real Estate sold to Brookfield Real Estate Services on December 6th, 2011.

Gary Greene ownership, leadership, culture, vision and commitment to excellence in support of our clients and agents did not sell and is not for sale.  The heart, soul and all-about-results DNA of Gary Greene team members remains whole, vibrant, focused and sorta giddy about the future.

Coincidently our franchise agreement with Prudential Real Estate ends in June.  This means we have complete freedom to evaluate every possible alternative and choose the very best strategic path for our clients and Gary Greene team members.  We enjoy complete flexibility and wide open opportunity.  As one of the top brokers in the country we can choose to:

  • Re-up with Brookfield Real Estate Services.
  • Launch fierce and independent.
  • Partner our regional powerhouse team with a new national powerhouse brand and partner.

Options have been thoughtfully weighed and meticulously measured.  Our choice is crystal clear.

Organizing, planning and tending to the big and tiny details is in full swing.  As I write and you read, small armies work behind the scenes preparing for launch and lift-off.

Reinvention married to a culture of care, fused with experience and savvy.  Keen new tools.  Way-way more corporate relocation.  Even more qualified buyers and sellers.  Fresh marketing.   Modern mindset.  Relevance.

More of everything sellers, buyers and service minded real estate agents love.

More Mojo.

As our immediate action plans bump to a boil, we’ll dial up more mojo and open two new service centers.  Each oasis designed to support twenty icon agent residents and provide all Gary Greene team members with a convenient and jazzy place to stop in and meet with clients or pause to refresh and catch breath after and between blasting from one end of The Woodlands to other, and beyond.

One launch pad will be situated in FM2978/FM 1488 intersection area.  The other strategically positioned along Kuykendahl Road, just past Carlton Woods Creekside, but before you leave The Woodlands.

Exciting-Times iswhat in the world is going on with Gary Greene, REALTORS®.  If you’d like to be a part of it, ping me – Ken Brand 832-797-1779.

Homes Sales Report – The Woodlands TX / April/May 2012 / Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors

by Ken Brand, Sales Manager - Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors / The Woodlands TX / Cell: 832-797-1779 on May 6, 2012

Wide Eyes

It’s a Seller’s Market.  Sales continue to impress with record totals.  Lack of listing inventory is the only problem. Well, lack of salable inventory and low appraisals as result of bidding wars and sale comps from 6 to 2 months old.  Recent closings and the rush of soon to close properties will support higher prices and hopefully the low appraisal challenges will shrink. Plenty of home are selling for cash.

Homes that show well and are priced fairly are selling quickly!  Quickly as in hours or day one.  We anticipate the market to remain heated for the foreseeable future.

Take a look at theses. . .

Homes Sales Month to Month

Impressive eh?

Unsold Listing Inventory

Help! Buyers are begging for new salable inventory.

Shameless Plug – If You’re Thinking Of Selling?

Yes the market is hot.  Maximize your profits.

What’s The Average Sold Price?

Prices have been steady for years.  We anticipate an a steady upward lift.  Not wild and crazy, steady.

How Many Months Supply Of Inventory Is There?

4.2 months!  That’s how long it would take at todays sales pace to sell every home on the market if nothing was new listed.  Did I say, “Help!”.  Qualified buyers need fresh inventory.  Economists say that six months of inventory represents a balanced real estate market.  4.2 months is a very glaring Seller’s Market.  Here’s what the Wall Street Journal thinks.

Will the world know you’re here?

by Ken Brand, Sales Manager - Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors / The Woodlands TX / Cell: 832-797-1779 on April 27, 2012

What people ignore.

To be ignored is to be invisible .   The predictable is boring and therefore invisible.  Don’t be predictably common or worse, absent.  Show up and surprise people.   Pay attention TO others, don’t beg for seek attention FROM others.

I generally shun the self-centered, the unreliable and the apathetic, don’t you?  Don’t be self-centered, unreliable or apathetic.  Take pride in every aspect of your work – including the tiniest and boringest of details – this is the difference between being ignored and earning attention.

Nobody’s keen on paying A Player money to a B Player.  This applies to fun, food and other goods and services.  Always bring your A game.  If you don’t have an A Game, develop one.  If you don’t want to develop an A Game, do yourself and everyone else a favor,  give up or quit and go home.

Who people adore.

People adore themselves and the people who adore them or others they adore.  Adore other people at least as much as you adore yourself.  If you don’t or can’t adore yourself you have a big problem.  Fix your big problem before you try to help others with their big and small problems.

 I see you, do you see me?

If we don’t surprise, delight, deliver and adore we’re invisible to other people.  I we want people to know we’re here, we have to act like it.
