“Timid salesmen have skinny kids.” – Zig Ziglar
The real estate market can be a glorious thing. Sometimes it is so robust that houses fly off the market faster than rocket pops on a summer afternoon. Other times are a tough test that pits a true professional against people dabbling in real estate on a lark.
The longtime professionals are always planting seeds today for the harvests of good will down the road. There are no “skinny kids” with the seasoned experts who earn well during good times, yet also plan for leaner times. They expect and anticipate that roller coaster ride, because it always repeats eventually. They act accordingly.
So, we find ourselves looking squarely at Q2.
Ever the gardener tending to the seeds and plants, our favorite Top Producer and occupier of the number one spot is Jack Bailey from Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Jack and his team have amassed quite the bounty in Q2 with 40 sides.
A person with a strong track record of steady growth, is Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. Her crew takes second place in our second quarter report with 23 sides.
The busiest realtor in Michigan, Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, is in third spot with 18 coming from his office.
