Reaching your full potential
Realizing your potential in the real estate business is my number #1 priority. Aiding you in finding solutions and creating ways to access opportunities for a successful career is second to none. Creating or correcting habits and changing behaviors is the biggest part of my personal coaching program.

Personal Coaching
How I Develop Powerful Agents

Any successful sports team is a direct result of a proper game plan and proactive coaching. My personal coaching that I offer to all of my agents is designed so they can manage their time better, learn to prioritize activities, perfect their skill development and lead generation and optimize their daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly schedules so they produce results. Here are some of the incredible results that some of my agents have had since they started with one on one coaching.

Tom Rheault Up 84% in income in 2010 versus 2009, Up 40% in closed (2 1/2+ yrs.) transactions

Lisa Westerman Up 51% in income 2010 versus 2009, Top Listing Agent (7 yrs.) Craig Luchon Up over 40% in personal income in 2009 versus 2008 (7 yrs.) Up 45% in closed transaction 09 vs. 08

Angela Black Up 60% in closed transactions in 2009 versus 2008 (15) (4 yrs.)

Lead Generation

In 2010 just our company alone in New England generated 44,381 Internet processed leads through our Leadrouter quick response system. Over 37,000 of those leads sent to agents in our offices came with no referral fee attached. Do the phones ring here in the Park Ave. office? We typically carry well over 250 listings at any one time so our phones ring constantly from consumers looking for more information on a property they just drove by, or just saw on the Internet, or just read about in one of the print mediums we use. Does the Coldwell Banker sign create leads? The proof is in the dominant marketshare we possess in many of the communities that we do business in, with many that we dont even have an office in.
