August Top Producers 2021

As summer rounded to an official close, our Broker/Owners reported that homes were spending a bit more time on the market, extending from a few days to upwards of about ten days before going under contract. That’s still a swift turn around as far as we’re concerned, and it has not impacted the volume achieved by our Top Producers in August.

Our front runner is the best real estate coach on the Eastern seaboard: Jack Bailey, and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. With 18 sides for the month, that is as brisk as glass of southern sweet tea after mowing the lawn at high noon. As always, a job well done for Jack’s team.

Our second Big Kahuna is Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, Hawaii. It’s not just the surf that’s up on the beautiful island, the sides count is, too. He scores a grand total of 14 for August and most of them from savvy sellers looking to save.

Squeaking just behind into third is Matt Kellam at Help-U-Sell Keystone Realty of Chambersburg, PA. Matt is more proof that the Help-U-Sell model is a great choice for smaller, streamlined offices. He ends August with 11 sides.

Debra Schmidt and her team at Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, MN, came in right behind with 10 sides and secure fourth place.

As usual, a lengthy list of ties take all of our other spots. Thank you to all of you for showing up and throwing numbers on the board!

Our Gross Sales Volume report is also presenting a few dramatic numbers.

Once again in first place: Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties. $9.6 million in sales translates to a lot of business and a lot of savings for our favorite island Broker.

Patrick Wood from Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California claims second place with $5.4 million in sales for August.

Third place goes to Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina with $4.1 million to wrap up summer.

The end of summer usually indicates a slight slowdown of sorts for many of our Broker/Owners as families transition into new jobs or back to school routines. So while September may be temporarily tempered, as one of our Brokers said recently during Power Hour: “All of the closings I handle in November and December result from seeds that were planted in September. This happens every year.”

Top Producers Six Month Report 2021

Six months is a substantial amount of time; When the second quarter of the year has closed, it is an excellent time to take a critical look at the business plan you wrote for 2021 and see how your work stacked up against your results. When you double the numbers you have from June, would you be happy with the outcome in December? If yes, good for you! If no, then perhaps the Power Hour with James Dingman and John Powell could be a source of ideas, inspiration, and guidance on tweaking daily practices for a better outcome.

One of the happiest Broker/Owners we know is, of course, Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. At the close of June, Jack’s team cleared 87 sides so far. As one of our longest tenured offices, Jack’s business has evolved over time from several different business models. If you find yourself a bit flustered trying to maximize earning potential in your market, there is an excellent chance that he could point you in a helpful direction. The numbers don’t lie!

It’s a wacky world when second place is populated by a three-way tie by three perpetual eagles. It seems historically unprecedented, but in case it’s not, it is certainly cool and celebratory. Let’s give a hand to Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, Hawaii, Mario Ferrante of Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan, and Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. Every single Broker/Owner totaled 53 sides.

The Broker/Owner who almost joined second place and missed by JUST! ONE! SIDE! is Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters of Port Huron, Michigan. With 52 sides in the six month report, not only has Jeff made regular appearances on this list, he also ranks as a top producing Broker in his MLS region.

We’ve also been seeing a lot of good things this year from Debra Schmidt and her team at Help-U-Sell Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. With 47 sides thus far, odds are looking pretty good at being in the top 5 for the year.

It is well worth noting that many of the offices on this list are streamlined, meaning, smaller or singularly staffed offices. Looking at you: Matt Kellam, Roberta Pickens, and Yasumi Davis. Not only do you guys rock, you are evidence that it’s possibly to succeed without a ton of agents.

On the Gross Sale Volume Report, Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California snags the 6 month lead away from Richard Cricchio. Patrick’s team finished first with just over $40.1 million in sales.

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties takes second place with $34.5 million. This is a surprising development considering Richard has been in first place for most of 2021, but cumulative numbers can sneak up on you.

Third place brings us back to Jack Bailey and Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Those 87 sides from first place translated into $19.9 million in sales.

The astonishing part about these numbers is if you take just our top three eagles and total the money, you get $94,523,286. A traditional 6% commission on all that would have been $5,671,397. That is a seller savings that literally writes the advertising for you. Use it liberally!

Q2 Top Producers 2021

The second quarter of 2021 entered a time warp and came to a close so quickly, we’re still spinning a little. While there are no shortage of stories about the effects of the pandemic on every aspect of life, real estate remains full steam ahead. As such, our folks have been staying pretty busy throughout Q2.

At the top of our list for the second quarter is Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Whatever Jack and his teammates are saying during their obviously stellar seller presentations is clearly fine tuned and extraordinarily persuasive, as the seller sides total 31, and the buyer sides total 15, for a grand total of 46.

Second place is a tie between Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii and Mario Ferrante and his team at Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. Both offices totaled 33 sides for the second quarter and have clearly been taking advantage of the still busy real estate market.

Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, MN, is in third place.

Her team closed 26 sides for the second quarter, which is continued evidence of having been a strong presence throughout 2021 so far.

There are lots of ties populating the list for the second quarter, for fifth place through eight place, no one stands alone! It’s good to see hard working people have good company.

YOUR OFFICE NAME HERE! GET INSPIRED!

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties is at the top of our Gross Sales Volume list for the second quarter which is hardly shocking since we have seen him at the top of this list for much of 2021. With $21 million in play for just three months, all the news coming from Hawaii about the housing market being fast and furious is not fiction.

Our other alternate top Eagle in this category is almost always Patrick Wood from Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. In second place with $18.1 million for the second quarter, Patrick’s team is nothing short of persistent and consistent.

We’ve been seeing more and more of Yasumi Davis of Help-U-Sell Golden Homes in Martinez, California. Her office cleared just over $11 million, making the months of April, May, and June one with a happy tune.

This list goes to eleven for Q2 because a quarter with over $5 million in sales achieved definitely seems noteworthy and celebratory. Here’s to the rest of the summer staying on the same track and making room for more earnest and excellent efforts paying off exponentially.

Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties	$ 21,005,400

Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California once again takes the brass ring on our Gross Sales Volume report. Clocking in with $21.9 million for the quarter, he proves that Californians are always eager to keep equity on their home sales.

Mimicking the March report exactly is Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties. In the first quarter, Richard and his team closed with $13.5 million in sales, illustrating that Honolulu home sellers love saving as much as they love gorgeous weather and rainbows.

Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina makes another appearance as the longest tenured Help-U-Sell Real Estate ambassador with $9.3 million for the quarter.

It’s also worth noting Yasumi Davis did exceptionally well for the quarter as well as for March with $6.4 million in sales. Her office is Help-U-Sell Golden Homes in Martinez, California.

From here forward, we are charging forth together with hopes of a more well rounded 2021 – not just for real estate – for all of us. Thank you for keeping the faith that a brighter tomorrow would eventually get here.

June 2021 Top Producers

June is always the official start of summer, especially in our more northern climates where it takes a bit longer to feel like summer. This Hal Borland quote sums it up nicely: “Summer is a promissory note signed in June, its long days spent and gone before you know it, and due to be repaid next January.”

Our Help-U-Sell Broker/Owners are perpetually in this mode – putting in the “promissory notes of time” on leads, referrals, and past clients today, confident that the good will and effort will pay off down the road with a new listing as positive reputations grow larger with each happy client.

In first place is Mario Ferrante and his team at Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. With 17 total sides for June, it shows equal commitment to both buyers and sellers in a continually competitive Michigan market.

Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, MN, helmed by Debra Schmidt and her team, takes second place in this sixth month of 2021. With 16 sides, they have been cranking out closings steadily all year.

Third place goes to Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina with 15 sides. Jack has circled around the top three places for most of 2021. His office has undergone many configurations over time but the numbers show the current format is pretty stellar.

With ties in fifth, sixth, and seventh place, it’s plain to see summer doesn’t necessarily mean vacation.

For the Gross Sales Volume Report, it seemed fitting to include any office that reached a $2 million dollar mark or greater, in part because that can mean a lot of transactions in some markets, and let’s not forget, $2 million is ultimately a tidy yet substantial sum of money.

Hawaii remains a blazing hot market and Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties keeps showing up to prove it. He hits our top spot for June with just over $8 million in sales.

Patrick Wood from Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California secures second place with nearly $4.5 million for June. California’s perpetual popularity certainly plays a part in the robust numbers from Patrick’s office.

Also representing that continual California surge is Yasumi Davis of Help-U-Sell Golden Homes in Martinez, California. Her office has been making more and more appearances as a Top Producer and she comes third with almost $4.2 million.

Congratulations to everyone making the start of summer a strong showing,

January 2021 Top Producers

Happy 2021, everyone! Welcome to the first Top Producers list of the year. After what was likely one of the most harrowing years in recent memory, we find ourselves front and center of brand new possibilities. We know the market is still searing hot in many of our Help-U-Sell Real Estate locations. With the mortgage forbearance legislation extended through the end of June of this year (so far), we may not see a large influx of properties for sale unless something else changes. So home sellers are still enjoying a robust and competitive market when they do sell. That’s where you all come in!

We start with a gentleman who topped our list for much of 2020. Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, made a great post-holiday leap with 12 sides for January. A year that starts off with four closings a week can only be a sign of more good things.

Just one side behind in second place with 11 for January is Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Estate Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. Jeff is regularly the most prolific broker in his region of Michigan, often appearing in the top spots of the MLS. Jeff stays busy!

Third place is a tie between Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate in Owatonna, Minnesota, and Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. Both of these hard working Broker/Owners closed eight for January.

Fourth place is a three-way tie between Yasumi Davis of Help-U-Sell Golden Homes in Martinez, California, Mario Ferrante at Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan, and Lona Murphy at Help-U-Sell Select in Eugene, Oregon. All three offices closed with five sides.

We had six brokers close four sides for the month, so our list goes to 13 for January. We shall consider this to be a good omen to replace any triskaidekaphobia surrounding the number 13.

For our first Gross Sales Volume report, naturally we find Patrick Wood from Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, in our number one spot with $4.5 million in sales.

In second place is our number guy from sides for January: Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro. 12 sides created $2.9 million in sales for the month.

Third place shines bright not just with $2.3 million in gross sales volume, but the smiles of Michelle Morgan and her team at Help-U-Sell Real Estate Specialists in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. We are thrilled to welcome a new face into the top three this month!

Thanks to everyone for making a striking start to the year.
