Celebrate endings for they precede new beginnings. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie
After much media hand-wringing, mortgage rates that brought tears to our eyes (not in a good way), and a dramatic shift from sellers once eager to uproot to sellers waiting it out from fear of not being able to find a home elsewhere, thus resulting in even tighter inventory, we made it here to one report to rule them all.
Despite these obstacles, life, like real estate, eked a path forward; Because at the end of all good reasons to not sell a home or buy a home, people still need to do what they must. Whether moving for a job or helping Great Aunt Linda transition from a house to a condo, predictions or rates do not stop life in its tracks.
Our Top Producers soldiered on, tweaking plans or marketing spends as necessary, and renewed efforts to reach out to buyers and sellers, both old and new. Folks still want to save money where they can, of course! The experts next door at Help-U-Sell Real Estate were there to provide the same great service at a set fee, as we have been for nearly five decades.
If there is anyone who demonstrates the resolve to find opportunities in each day, that person has to be Jack Bailey and the lively lineup at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. The seller sides tip slightly higher at 67, but adding up to 125 total sides for the year.
The men from Michigan take the second and third spots.
In second place is Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. The number 85 and the work of a trusted team was what brought him here.
Just two sides behind in third place, is Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. 83 sides makes 2024 a productive year to be proud of.
Fourth place takes us to Minnesota, where we find Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna. Debra’s office helped amass 69 sides for 2023, with sellers outnumbering buyers by nearly double.
