October Top Producers 2023

“You don’t waste October sunshine,” Katherine Arden said. That sentiment has a lot of well-worn similarly themed quotes it was likely predicated on, like “Make hay while the sun shines,” but you get the idea. When it gets darker earlier, we panic a little, trying to stuff as much into each day while we can because it feels later. Sometimes that nudge is what we needed to make one more effort so as to feel like we haven’t lost an opportunity to make a win.

Jack Bailey

One person who seizes every opportunity, and has continued to do so all year long, is Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. This time, the team managed ten sides in the tenth month with an even split between the two.

Taking second place with seven total sides is none other than Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. As the majority of her sides are from sellers, she succeeded in saving sellers a bunch of cash. 

Third place brings us a four-way tie with five sides of piece. (See what I did there?) It might be odd, but closing an average of 1.25 home sales a week means you are doing something right. Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii, Ryan Joyce from Help-U-Sell Bakersfield Equity Savers in California, Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan, and Kimberly Zelena of Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate in Waynesboro, Virginia, all share the spotlight.

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties

Taking back first place is Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii. In this month’s edition of our favorite cat and mouse game, Richard is ahead by a cool $5 million, taking the top space with $8.3 million total. 

This can only mean that Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California returns to second place with $3.3 million in sales for October. 

Must be California dreamin’ this month because here is Ryan Joyce from Help-U-Sell Bakersfield Equity Savers in California, claiming a “show” spot on the board here (as well as the sides report) with $2.4 million for the month.

May Top Producers 2022

“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” Although written many years ago, author William James could have been talking about the multiple hats worn in a day’s work for our Top Producers. Anyone who has joined our twice-monthly Power Hours over time knows that there is no magic bullet that brings all the home seller leads and attention. It’s more like an arsenal! While certain efforts realize more results in some markets, those smaller efforts also make a difference, too.

Jack Bailey

Making an enormous difference is none other than Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Jack’s team brought in 12 total sides for the very merry month of May, with an even divide between buyers and sellers. Very merry, indeed!

Jeff Hedberg and his team at Help-U-Sell Real Masters of Port Huron, Michigan, were just two spots behind with ten total sides for the fifth month of the year. Again, with an even split between buyers and sellers. Nature has such balance!

Third place is a tie with seven sides per office! Our first shared applause goes to the recently transferred office, Help-U-Sell SE Rita Ranch Realty in Tucson, Arizona, which is now under the care of our very own John Powell. Sharing the accolades is Walt Hippauf of Help-U-Sell Peoples Real Estate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

Fourth place has three offices with six sides a piece. Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, Kimber Regan of Help-U-Sell The Smart Choice in Hanford, California, and Kimberly Zelena of Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate in Waynesboro, Virginia.

As predicted in last month’s Gross Sales Volume report, Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, once again takes the lead away from his primary competitor in Hawaii. Patrick locks in first place with $5.3 million in sales for May.

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties

Speaking of Hawaii, here is Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties. May brought $5.2 million in sales for his team. The difference between first and second place this month was only $115, 750.  The saga continues.

Third place is our long time coach, John Powell of Help-U-Sell SE Rita Ranch Realty in Tucson, Arizona. He makes a splash into third place with $3.7 million in gross sales. What a comeback! 

Jack Bailey

Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina is just behind with $3.5 million in sales. The difference between third and fourth place was only $240,348!

Reports of the real estate slow down are everywhere in conjunction with the effects of inflation and higher mortgage rates. There is still high demand in many markets. Coupled with tenacity, smart marketing, and of course, home seller savings, we still have the makings for a summer sizzler.

February Top Producers 2022

With the chill of February still lingering around many of our Help-U-Sell locations, our Top Producers are staying warm by keeping busy helping people buy and sell homes.

Case in point, the number one spot for the second month of 2022 goes to  Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters of Port Huron, Michigan. With nine total sides, he eked out first place by one! Jeff and his team made a year-long habit of appearing in the top five spots during 2021.

In second place we have a tie between two other perpetual Eagles vying for the brass ring: Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, and Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Both fine offices are two very busy teams with 8 sides each. 

Third place brings yet one more tie with six sides a piece between Kim Zelena and her team at Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate in Waynesboro, Virginia, and Mario Ferrante of Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan.

At the risk of sounding silly, fourth place is also a tie. We are not making this up! Lona Lassen Murphy of Help-U-Sell Select Real Estate in Eugene, Oregon, and Mike Bowling of Help-U-Sell Mike Bowling in Yuma, Arizona, both finished February with five sides. 

We won’t spoil the surprise for fifth place.

Guess what? It’s the second month of the year and Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties, in Oahu, starts the streak with his second month at the top of our Gross Sales Volume Report. $6.6 million for the shortest month of the year is pretty great!

Tito Gonzalez of Help-U-Sell South Santa Clara County

Adalberto “Tito” Gonzalez of Help-U-Sell South Santa Clara County in Morgan Hill, California pops in to make a statement in second place with $4.4 million for  February.

In third place is Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. His team made $2.4 million in sales. Patrick’s team is always creating sales in California.

Jack Bailey

It’s fun to point out fourth place when the difference is only $32,950.  Jack Bailey’s team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina didn’t miss the mark for third by much!

November Top Producers 2021

When the holiday season begins in earnest, we often take time to reflect on ourselves by taking stock in what we have to be grateful for in our lives. Health and family are always at the top, of course, but furthering business goals and reaching them is worth celebrating, too. Especially when you consider how much hard work goes into making that happen. Before the big “end of year” reports come in for December and 2021, here is November Top Producers!

Mario Ferrante of Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan scores the top spot for November with 11 total sides. Eight came from sellers, which means the home sellers in Wayne County are saving a bundle.

Coming in at a very close second with ten sides is Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters of Port Huron, Michigan. A perfect split of five and five between buyers and sellers means Jeff’s team is working on all those leads pretty evenly.

Third place is a tie between Kim Zelena and her team at Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate in Waynesboro, Virginia, and Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, Hawaii. Both offices had eight sides for the month.

Fourth place is a three-way tie between Maria Powell of Help-U-Sell Galleria of Tucson, Arizona, Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, and Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. Each office hit lucky number seven.

It wouldn’t be a Top Producer’s Report without a bunch of ties. Fifth and sixth places prove how busy November can be and we are grateful for that!

On the Gross Sales Volume report, naturally we see familiar faces and surprises.

Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, clocks in with $5.8 million in sales for November to nab first place. That he has clinched the top spot by nearly $3 million is a testament to the strength of California’s ongoing durability on the real estate market.

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties

In second place we find our regular big kahuna, Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties. He finishes the month with $2.8 million.

A surprise (but not surprising) rise into third place with $2.5 million in sales was made by Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah. He’s been making a lot of appearances in 2021 here because Utah has become a hot market!

With just one more set of reports to finish out 2021, we wish all of you a lovely end of the season and year.

Top Producers July 2021

The July Top Producers Report has home sellers declaring independence from high-priced, traditional real estate commissions and choosing to save thousands of their earned equity by opting for a local expert next door from Help-U-Sell Real Estate instead. As the housing market continues to smolder for sellers, the number of days a listing stays on the market has stretched out a bit longer, giving more buyers a chance to zero in on buying a home after a year plus of breakneck competition and bidding wars.

Jack Bailey, Help-U-Sell Greensboro

At the top of this summer swelter is our Eagle-In-Residence, Broker/Owners Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Coming in at 14 sides for July, 11 of those sides were from sellers, and that is something cool for clients no matter how hot the savings are.

Second place is a tie between two other very familiar faces. Mario Ferrante of Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan, and Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. Both gentlemen scored 12 sides per office and a high five to share.

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

In third place is Kimberly Zelena and her team at Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate in Waynesboro, Virginia. With eight sides over a month that begins with a holiday weekend, that’s an average of two closings a week.

Out in the middle of our country lies another tie in fourth place between Lana Erwin at Help-U-Sell Edmond/OKC in Edmond, Oklahoma and Danny Kettle at Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah. Both with smaller shops, they closed 7 sides each and prove you don’t need to have a large team to make a big impact.

There are multiple sets of ties for fifth and sixth place. The more the merrier, so please keep it up!

Over here on the Gross Sales Volume Report is a familiar face and then a few surprise ladder climbers.

Naturally, we find Patrick Wood and his team at  Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California in the first slot. To say they are usually crushing it is the understatement of the Top Producers report, and they do so in July with just over $9 million in sales. 

Our second place surprise comes in the form of Ronny Thompson at Help-U-Sell 951 Realty. While popping up on our list periodically has put them on a “one to watch” list, with $5.9 million in sales for the month we have to take notice!

In third place is Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy in Layton, Utah. Danny and his team have been a pretty strong presence throughout the year so far. With $3.9 million in sales for July and a 4th place tie on the sides report, he’s clearing a path to where the Help-U-Sell eagles soar with sales. 

We wish all of you continued success in summer sales and look forward to seeing who surprises us next month.
