Don't mess with Texas: More Americans moving in Texas was a big winner in the new Census Bureau estimates, with cities such as Houston drawing new residents By Les Christie, staff writer December 23, 2009: 1:22 PM ET . http://money.cnn.com/2009/12/23/real_estate/fastest_growing_states/index.htm

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Americans, it seems, still have a love affair with the West. Texas and Wyoming were the big winners in the Census Bureau's annual population estimates, which were released on Wednesday. In the year ended July 1, Texas added more people than any other state, and Wyoming had the highest growth rate in the nation.

Keller Williams ranked as the No. 1 real estate franchise News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Amber Presley 512/439-8708 amber.presley@kw.com Keller Williams Realty Ranked as Top Real Estate Franchise by Industry Leader and Entrepreneur Magazine AUSTIN, TEXAS (December 21, 2009) — Keller Williams Realty joined the ranks of the top franchises in the world last week, when the company was ranked as the No. 1 real estate franchise on the 31st Annual Franchise 500 list by Entrepreneur magazine. During the same week, the company was also voted the Most Recognizable Brand of Real Estate Franchises for 2009 in an industry-wide survey for the Swanepoel TRENDS Report. “The Swanepoel TRENDS Report is a respected source for the real estate industry and beyond, as is Entrepreneur magazine, and we are excited to see our agents honored in this way for all of their hard work,” said Mark Willis, CEO, Keller Williams Realty. “We certainly wouldn’t have been included on either list without the dedication and resolve of our agents.” According to the ranking in Entrepreneur magazine, the most important criteria to determine the top franchises included financial strength and stability, as well as growth rate and size of the franchise system. The magazine also looked at the number of years the company has been in business and the length of time it’s been franchising, in addition to start-up costs and financial data. Additionally, Keller Williams Realty made an impressive showing on the overall list, placing higher than any other real estate franchise. The Swanepoel TRENDS Report is published by Stefan Swanepoel, a real estate industry speaker and insider. The survey was crafted to determine the Most Recognizable Brand for Real Estate Franchises for his report out in February 2010. The survey included votes cast by 11,000 plus real estate agents, who cast 390,000 votes to select the top 10.

Real Estate Franchises: Most Recognizable Brands for 2009 home

December 21, 2009

Real Estate Franchises: Most Recognizable Brands for 2009 by Stefan Swanepoel 11,000+ Agents Cast 390,000 Votes to Select the Top 10 It’s been almost 40 years since franchising entered the residential real estate industry; a move that has shaped the industry like few other concepts or strategies before or since. The impact of franchising ranks with MLS and the Internet as the top three game changing strategies in real estate since WW II. Today there are a growing number of agents questioning the value proposition of real estate franchising. They point to some of the “older models” that seem to offer little more than a brand; a brand of questioned value in today’s online world. A franchise company’s long term success (or failure) is therefore dependent upon both its model standing the test of time and its implementation systems supporting the local franchisee in successfully putting those models into operation. In the 2010 Swanepoel TRENDS Report, scheduled for publication on February 8th, 2010 — reserve a copy now at www.RETrends.com) — a whole trend is dedicated to analyzing real estate franchising. The trend discusses the changes that have occurred during the last year including bankruptcies, acquisitions, large mergers, the re-introduction of previously dormant franchise brands and the launch of several new ones. The Report details the Top 20 largest franchises based on agent count as of December 2009, inclusive of recent changes and acquisitions up and including that date. However, as an additional test RealSure (www.realsure.com), the publishers of the Swanepoel TRENDS Report and the Swanepoel SOCIAL MEDIA Report, decided that it would be interesting to compare agent count rankings with the perception and recognizability of franchise brands by the industry itself. So on Thursday December 3rd a nationwide online survey was launched to determine the “Most Recognizable Franchise Brand in Real Estate.” With real estate agents being independent contractors and fiercely loyal to their respective brand the vote quickly garnished huge attention. It went viral through various social media networks, blogs and emails encouraging agents to vote.

Real Estate Franchises: Most Recognizable Brands for 2009

Continue

In the end an astonishing 11,355 agents voted, casting just over 390,000 votes for 33 different real estate franchise brands making this — according to knowledge — the largest survey of its kind in the industry. The survey required real estate professionals to vote for a franchise on a scale from 0 – 5; starting from “Never heard of the brand” all the way up to “Excellent brand.” The brand’s scores in all categories were taken into consideration to determine the overall rankings. In the end there was a significant difference in the vote count between most of the top 10, thereby solidifying the placement of the brands. Although another survey can produce different results and rankings, we are confident that this is a very good reflection of the real estate brokerage industry’s current opinion and awareness of the franchise brands that serve them. The Top 10 real estate franchises, most recognized by the real estate industry as quality national brands are: Keller Williams Realty Coldwell Banker Real Estate RE/MAX International Century 21 Real Estate Prudential Real Estate Sotheby’s International Realty EXIT Realty ERA Real Estate Weichert Real Estate Affiliates Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate The franchises that made it to the Top 5 were to be expected and are also the five largest real estate franchises in the country. The Top 5 also comfortably attracted more votes than the second five on the list, strongly pointing to the industry’s own internal belief that these are the top five franchise brands that agents would like to work for. Keller Williams Realty’s surprising #1 ranking was most likely due to the strong, above average online and social media presence of their agents and the fact that during 2009 KW surpassed RE/MAX in agent count according to a widely published REAL Trends survey.. The 103-year old Coldwell Banker franchise has been the beneficiary of many NRT, Inc. acquisitions that have allowed the brand to remain at the forefront of many agents in a positive way. RE/MAX with their powerful consumer portal has also enjoyed the highest profile on national television of all the brands, thereby probably contributing to their high ranking.

Real Estate Franchises: Most Recognizable Brands for 2009

Continue

Most interesting was the strong showing of Sotheby’s International Realty at #6, ahead of ERA Real Estate (a more established brand in real estate) and EXIT Realty (a more bolder promoter). The ranking was most likely attributed to the luxury homes image that many agents attach to the brand. Long standing independent and northeast-based regional Weichert REALTORS converted to a franchise seven years ago and has steadily grown. Impressively it was able to break into the top 10 as a recognizable national brand. Also surprising was the fact that newcomer Better Homes & Gardens squeezed out companies like Realty Executives, John L Scott and Windermere (both still regional players) to claim the last spot in the Top 10. This was most likely attributable to the recent news that 2,000-agent Metro Brokers switched from GMAC to BH&G as well as a few other key acquisitions. The housing market is smaller than it was three years ago, yet we have more franchisors today than we did back then. Clearly the market is over saturated and yet the franchises reflected on this list are, according to thousands of agents that work for them and for their competitors, the best of the best. At the end of the day, real estate brokers and agents want and need different kinds of support and thus different franchisors will attract different brokers and agents. For a detailed discussion on franchising, what the 7 key different types of real estate franchises are and which of the strategies currently work the best, read the 2010 Swanepoel TRENDS Report. Secure your copy at a special pre-publication discount of 34% when ordering at http://www.realestatebooks.org/items/Swanepoel_TRENDS_Report_2010.htm Survey methodology: The poll was conducted online within the United States between December 3rd and December 11th, 2009 among 11,355 real estate professionals. All surveys and polls are subject to multiple sources of error that are not possible to quantify. Especially with online polls the errors associated with wording, selection, exposure and attempts to manipulate the vote make it very difficult to guarantee results. Post-survey weighting and adjustments are made to adjust for irregularities found in the voting but we avoid using the term “margin of error” as we feel it is still misleading. Due to the very large number of real estate professionals that voted it is felt that the results closely reflect the opinion of the majority in the industry. preview 2009testimonialsorder reportsarticleshistory 1995-2008homecontactregister © 2005-2009, RealSure Inc.

what I do for you All real estate agents will claim they can sell your house...

I promise to sell your house at the maximum price, with minimum hassle. Selling a home successfully requires experience, time and resources. Experience From pinpointing an optimal asking price to writing a purchase agreement and negotiating terms of sale, real estate transactions are a science. Time Selling a home involves hours of open houses, phone calls and paperwork that you shouldn't have to worry about. I will take care of it all for you. Resources Yard signs, brochures, ads, direct mail and Internet technology. Keeping your home in front of potential buyers requires marketing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

82% of home sales are the result of agent connections Source: National Association of REALTORS®

Selling your home can be a daunting task. I work hard so my clients can enjoy having their homes sold worry-free and profitably. I would love the opportunity to earn your business.

First We’ll Be Best, Then We’ll be First The Best Never Rest

frequently asked questions Are there things we should do to our home to help ensure the maximum price? Yes. There is a benefit to making sure your home looks its best prior to offering it for sale. There are also small remodeling jobs that will pay off at resale. I can advise you about specific improvements that will increase your home's marketability and value. How often will you advertise our property? I don't just list homes; I market them. I will make sure your home is marketed to potential buyers around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I will customize a marketing plan to reach the types of buyers most likely to purchase your home. I know how to maximize the power of the Internet for my clients, while also using traditional methods including newspaper ads, brochures, yard signs and direct mail. Will you be present at all showings? At open houses I, or a member of my team, will be there. For showings, potential buyers will bring their own agents to see your home. Most buyers prefer only their own agents be present when evaluating a prospective new home. What if another agent tells us they can get us more for the house? Some agents will quote a higher listing price just to get your business, but an overpriced house will not sell. If you choose to work with me, I will conduct a comparative market analysis prior to recommending an asking price for your home. I will explain how I arrived at the price, but ultimately the decision is up to you. I will offer my professional opinion on how the market will value your home. Do we have any responsibilities during the marketing of our home? Your primary job during the sale of your home is to keep it neat and clean for showings and open houses. A large part of a home's appeal involves staging, which is everything from furniture placement to home fragrance. I will advise you on how to stage your home well, giving you easy tips and quick fixes to maximize your home's appeal. What happens once we get an offer? I will help you consider each offer and negotiate the best deal for you. Once you've accepted an offer, I will guide you through the entire closing process and ensure everything proceeds smoothly.

Tracking and set up Appointment

TRACKING How did you hear about our team? __________________________________ What are the three things you expect from a Realtor? A. ______________________ B. ________________________C. ______________________ Are you setting other appointments? When and with who? __________________________ SET THE APPOINTMENT "Let's set an appointment to meet so we can find out exactly what you want. This appointment should last about thirty minutes to an hour. We'll go through the home-selling process and talk about your expectations and your goals." I’ll bring a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) for your neighborhood too. Would ________________ be better for you? On ___________ OR on _________________ APPOINTMENT DATE: ______________________________ Time: _______________________ Leave a copy of IBS and Listing presentation for their review. Encourage them to read and ask questions on next appointment. Provide the link to my website for other information. TIP: Build in a price reduction option up front. At the listing, get sellers to sign an agreement to lower the price by pre-approved percentages if the property hasn’t sold in 30, 60, or 90 days. Roberts generally asks for a 3 percent reduction after 30 days, but alters the time and percentage based on market conditions. —Ralph Roberts, Ralph Roberts Real Estate, Warren, Mich. http://www.realtor.org/toolkits/list19
