“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” – Tony Robbins

In a year that does not behave like other years, it can be hard to predict what is going to happen in the world, an industry, a market, or even a neighborhood. To the casual onlooker, a “sudden” explosion in popularity of a city can look like an overnight surprise. To the seasoned professional, they know many factors to weigh in from an influx of new jobs, great charter schools, housing builds, general affordability, and desirable environments. They all change. 

Because those factors are always changing, so too are the tactics used to make yourself known, the types of marketing you try, the folks you choose to hire to help you, or the services you offer to grow your offerings. All of these things are an ever shifting mix of “spend more time and money on X” and “stop spending resources on Y.”

In other words, being open to new ways or habits that are serving you and making adjustments as necessary.

The number one spot goes to the man most vocal about evolving for better over time. Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, and his team take the Half Year Report by a long lead with 76 sides. 51 came from sellers. His methods speak for themselves. 

In second place, is the ever industrious Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. Her team brings 44 sides to the table for the six month report. 

Back to Michigan! Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, very nearly tied for second. 42! For our literary lovers: “The number 42 is the answer to the “Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.” – according to Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

On the Gross Sales Volume report, a game of musical chairs of the highest order.

Keeping the crown in the Q2 report and here for first place is Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. The six month total is a jaw dropping $26.7 million. 

Jack Bailey and the trusty team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina flip the script back to second place. They put $21.4 million on the board in six months. 

We quickly jet back to Hawaii to see Richard Cricchio in third place. The folks at Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties brought $20.4 million to the six month luau.

Hope you’re keeping ahead of the changes in the landscape. Join us on Power Hours on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of every month for updates and inspiration.
