October is the gateway month that closes the door on the very last fleeting moments of summer weather, and opens the floodgates to all of the holidays. Just as people gear up for Halloween, the planning and preparation for every other holiday is swirling around the stores and our lives begging for attention. Somehow folks are still buying and selling houses in a speedy fashion, and the Broker/Owners from our Help-U-Sell Real Estate family are still helping clients make it happen and save thousands while they are at it.
As has been the trend for much of 2021, Jack Bailey and his trusty team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina are leading the charge to first place with 18 sides for October alone. Always an ace!
Surging to second place is Debra Schmidt at Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. Missing the top spot by just one side with 17, we’d love to see her crew take center stage for the November report! So very close!

There are never any ties in the Gross Sales Volume Report. Fingers crossed for maybe one day. Until then…
Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, Hawaii leaps to the top with plenty of room to spare, finishing the month with $9.1 million.

In third place is the Ever-Eagle, Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina with $4.6 million for October.
