As summer rounded to an official close, our Broker/Owners reported that homes were spending a bit more time on the market, extending from a few days to upwards of about ten days before going under contract. That’s still a swift turn around as far as we’re concerned, and it has not impacted the volume achieved by our Top Producers in August.
Our front runner is the best real estate coach on the Eastern seaboard: Jack Bailey, and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. With 18 sides for the month, that is as brisk as glass of southern sweet tea after mowing the lawn at high noon. As always, a job well done for Jack’s team.
Our second Big Kahuna is Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, Hawaii. It’s not just the surf that’s up on the beautiful island, the sides count is, too. He scores a grand total of 14 for August and most of them from savvy sellers looking to save.
Squeaking just behind into third is Matt Kellam at Help-U-Sell Keystone Realty of Chambersburg, PA. Matt is more proof that the Help-U-Sell model is a great choice for smaller, streamlined offices. He ends August with 11 sides.
Debra Schmidt and her team at Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, MN, came in right behind with 10 sides and secure fourth place.
As usual, a lengthy list of ties take all of our other spots. Thank you to all of you for showing up and throwing numbers on the board!

Our Gross Sales Volume report is also presenting a few dramatic numbers.
Once again in first place: Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties. $9.6 million in sales translates to a lot of business and a lot of savings for our favorite island Broker.
Patrick Wood from Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California claims second place with $5.4 million in sales for August.
Third place goes to Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina with $4.1 million to wrap up summer.
The end of summer usually indicates a slight slowdown of sorts for many of our Broker/Owners as families transition into new jobs or back to school routines. So while September may be temporarily tempered, as one of our Brokers said recently during Power Hour: “All of the closings I handle in November and December result from seeds that were planted in September. This happens every year.”
