March Top Producers 2024

“March, when days are getting long, let thy growing hours be strong to set right some wintry wrong.” – Caroline May

It seemed fitting to call on something about growing hours and righting “wrongs”, as indicative of the troubles besetting the real estate market in different facets. Fewer houses on the market? Check. Higher mortgage rates scaring off buyers? Check. Headlines brimming with commission scandals and lawsuits against NAR and traditional real estate brokerages? Check. Inflation concerns tempering the impulse to buy? Check. Sellers fear selling because of a lack of inventory to move into after selling? Check.

Despite the challenges, we still sell. Help-U-Sell Real Estate experts know who we are and what we do. We continue to make moves that get results regardless of the market, because helping people with fairness and transparency is what we do, and have always done from the beginning, for 48 years.

First place for Top Producers in March brings us to North Carolina. Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro, and the rest of his team cleared 15 sides, with ten of those sides coming from sellers.

Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota, brings her team to second place with eight sides.

Third place travels all the way to Chino Hills, California, where we find Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties. Patrick’s team brought in six sides for March.

Staying in California for fourth place but headed over to Palmdale, we greet Gary Julian and his son, of Help-U-Sell Julian Team. They break into a top spot with four sides.

February Top Producers 2024

“If January is the month of change, February is the month of lasting change. January is for dreamers… February is for doers.” – Marc Parent

Some days inspiration and motivation are harder to come by. Especially during a gray, overcast day where you may need that thicker sweater and an extra hot coffee to head outside to go and do.

The second half of our inspirational quote seems especially fitting: February is for doers. Anyone can utter promises on the eve of a new year. Taking goals seriously, with the plans and initiative to carry through takes real determination, because not every day turns out how you want or planned. Achievement means giving it your best as often as you can, trusting you will find your way there, or get a tad closer.

Here are the doers from February:

Debra Schmidt, Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County Inc

Jack Bailey, Help-U-Sell Greensboro — Debra Schmidt, Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County Inc

A triple tie in first place makes for a great game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, and Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan, all share the top spot with six sides a piece.

Richard Cricchio, Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties

Second place brings another tie between two offices and gentlemen:Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii, and Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah. With five sides each, they are making every week count with a closing.

Kimberly Zelena, Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate

Taking third place is Kimberly Zelena of Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate in Waynesboro, Virginia. Her team closes February with four sides.

On our Gross Sales Volume Report, competition makes for interesting changes.

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii, returns to first place with another month in excess of two million. This time, it’s $2.2 million! Island time is always a good time to sell in Hawaii.

Another second place feather for the cap of Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah. The second month of the year paved the way for $1.8 million in Gross Sales Volume.

Third place is where we find Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties, in Chino Hills,California. Patrick’s team put $1.5 million on the board for February.

Thank you for doing what you do.

May Top Producers 2023

“Step aside to a brand new day, in the month of May I feel, I can start again.”- Mychal Simka

It’s easy to be a real estate broker in robust times: when mortgage rates are low, home prices are skyrocketing, and homes sell like ice cream in summer. It’s tougher to be a real estate broker when times are volatile and unpredictable. The people who truly love real estate, and make it a mission to help people, are the ones who have weathered tough times before and understand that everything in this business is cyclical. Professionals don’t quit. They don’t “do it as a side gig”. Professionals know their market, and serve it well with the confidence only time and experience can provide.

The beauty of Top Producer reports is you just never know what will surprise you. Just when you get comfortable with certain patterns and trends, someone has a really good month and demonstrates that going back to basics serves everyone well, even our most seasoned professionals.

Speaking of seasoned professionals, look who’s back at the top of the game! Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan and his trusty team have reclaimed the top spot for May with 14 sides. There’s big seller savings in there with ten seller sides.

Soaring into second place is Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. Taking ten sides total for the month, and an even split of buyers and sellers, we’re guessing there is a happy mix of clients in Minnesota counting their spring savings.

In third place is our busiest coach and eagle, Jack Bailey. Jack and the team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina are making summer deals, and totaling 8 sides for the merry month of May.

Many of our brokers are still putting numbers on the board, which means you’re still doing what you do best.

On our Gross Sales Volume report, there is one clear star shining at the top by a mile, or by $3.5 million. Whichever is closer!

That shining star is Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. Patrick has taken the number one spot with $6.3 million for May.

Taking second place is Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina with $2.7 million. Seems like the sun is always shining on the front door of Help-U-Sell Greensboro.

Third place brings us Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah! He had another $2.5 million month, which is a pretty nice trend to be in front of. Here’s to many more just like it.

February Top Producers 2023

“If January is the month of change, February is the month of lasting change. January is for dreamers…February is for doers.” -Marc Parent

This February, once again, proves the folks on Jack Bailey’s team are doers. Shooting back to the top spot for our second month with 12 sides, the team from Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina are not just taking names – they are selling them houses. Jack is always present on our twice monthly Power Hours. You should join us!

Also making a bold statement this February is Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. His team was ready to roll into second place with nine sides.

In third place is Kimber Regan of Help-U-Sell The Smart Choice in Hanford, California. Kimber and her team close the month with five sides.

There are lots of ties! Fourth place has four places saved for folks who scored three sides for February. Fifth place has five offices who closed two each.

Things are warming up again – slow and steady.

On the Gross Sales Volume report, a few interesting changes have transpired.

For the second month in a row, first place goes to Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii. With $2.8 million sales for the month, his year to date total so far is over $12 million. Sounds like Q1 might be looking favorable for our Hawaii team.

Coming in second place is Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah. With $2.5 million for the month, we’d say that is a promising start.

Jack Bailey and the team from Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina stake the claim to third place by only $35,987 difference. His team finished February with $2.4 million.

Thank you for the continued efforts to make your businesses grow. We’re moving forward. Together.

March Top Producers 2022

Although certainly entertaining to watch, we don’t need the thrills of March Madness from college basketball in order to witness surprise upsets – just watch a few short weeks of real estate! We have plenty of exciting twists and turns right here in our Top Producers report.

Surging into first place for the third month of 2022 is none other than Mike Bowling of Help-U-Sell Mike Bowling in Yuma, Arizona. Mike’s position for March is “doubling down”. Last month he had five total sides. This month, he and his team achieved ten sides.

From this space forward, we will be talking about ties!

Anyone reading these reports for the last few years knows that ties amongst our Top Producers makes me gleeful. The only reasonable explanation: I like seeing people do well, especially when it’s clear they make such consistent, solid efforts. More ties ultimately means more people get recognized. That being said…

In second place: a tie between Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, and Mario Ferrante at Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. Both offices turned in 9 total sides for the month of March. Birds of a feather…

Next up: third place and a three-way tie featuring the lucky number seven. Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, and Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters of Port Huron, Michigan. All three offices cleared 7 total sides for the month.

Fourth place is also a three-way tie with five sides closed per office. Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah, Michelle Morgan of Help-U-Sell Real Estate Specialists in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Kimberly Zelena of Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate in Waynesboro, Virginia.

Fittingly, fifth place has five offices sharing the title. Every single one of those offices closed four sides for the month. Knowing there are broker/owners grinding out every aspect of a home sale on their own, and not dropping a single detail from listing to marketing to closing – that is always something to celebrate.

Things look “normal” on the Gross Sales Volume report, meaning that first and second place have flipped sides once more.

Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, is currently the Top “Most” Producer of the Gross Sales Volume report with $6.3 million in sales for March.

Naturally, this means that Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, Hawaii, has returned to second for the month with $3.4 million in sales.

We need an announcer from a old dramatic serial show to narrate the ever changing back and forth between these two stellar offices. “Will Patrick’s team stay in first place for April? Will Richard’s team careen back to number one? Will both of them be ousted by a surprise Broker/Owner? Stay tuned!”

Moving on to third place is once again, Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah. His team was so close to the $3 million mark! Coming in at $2.9 million is where his team lands for March, and it is still a great place to be.

To celebrate Spring, everyone who closed over $1.5 million for the month has been included, because $1.5 million is a lot of money!
