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,

May 2021 Top Producers

The very merry month of May contains several notable events, such as Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you), Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, National Rescue Dog Day, and of course, Memorial Day. May is also often the last stop between breezy spring weather and the swelter of summer. Just as the weather heats up, so do our Top Producers.

Hawaii real estate has been making the news recently as being even more competitive and robust than usual. As such, we find Richard Cricchio and his team from Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties at the top of our list with 13 sides. With ten sides coming from sellers, those clients saved a mauka of money (that’s “mountain” in Hawaiian).

Second place is a tie between the “Eagle in residence”, Jack Bailey, and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, and Michelle Morgan of Help-U-Sell Real Estate Specialists in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It’s spectacular to see a different office breaking into the top three! Both Jack and Michelle’s offices cleared 11 sides for May.

Third place is another tie. This one is between Mario Ferrante’s team at Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan, and Patrick Wood and his team at Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. Both teams had eight sides total.

Real estate news reports seem to varying by the day. Some cities churn through new listings as quickly as they can be put on the MLS, and other areas are reporting a bit of a slow down. As ever, you are still doing what you do best: making waves, disrupting the norm, saving clients a metric ton of money, and making Help-U-Sell work for you.

What a wonderful time to be Richard Cricchio and his team from Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties In Hawaii! Richard’s team managed to grab the brass ring at the top of both the Gross Sales Volume list and the Sides list for May. Coming in ahead by nearly $2.4 million, they landed at $8.6 million for the month.

Patrick Wood and his team at Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, secured second place with $6.2 million in May. With a third place spot in the Sides report, too, clearly a job well done!

May was also a great month for Michelle Morgan of Help-U-Sell Real Estate Specialists in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Michelle and her team were in second place for our Sides list, and win third place on the Gross Sales Volume list with $5.4 million. Double tip of the hat for Michelle.

It’s encouraging to see some different names on the list this month. We hope to see even more in June. Have a great summer everyone!

February Top Producers 2021

February went by quickly didn’t it? Seems like life is speeding up a bit as more folks get vaccinated against the covid-19 virus. Ultimately with a little patience and graciousness, we’re walking into the new chapter of life more hopeful than we did at this time last year. That’s good! Our Top Producers are still grappling with a shortage of properties to list and sell, but the upside is: houses continue to sell blazing fast. By continuing to make earnest efforts, our best continue to work hard and show up here.

Case in point: Jack Bailey Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. His team’s efforts nabbed the top spot with 16 total sides, with 10 of those coming from sellers. In a short month like February, four a week is great in our book.

Mario Ferrante of Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan, takes second place with eight total sides. Life has such balance, both the sellers and buyers were perfectly equal.

Third place is a 3-way tie between Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii, Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, and Jeff Hedberg with Help-U-Sell Real Estate Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. All three of these gentlemen and their teams are regular faces in our top producers list, and each have closed February with seven sides for the month.

Fourth place is a tie between Mike Bowling at Help-U-Sell Mike Bowling in Yuma, Arizona, and Lona Lassen Murphy at Help-U-Sell Select Real Estate in Eugene, Oregon, both with 5 sides each.

Of course, fifth place is tied up with four ties too. No complaints! We march towards March!

On to our Gross Sales Volume report, once again we find Patrick Wood at Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties taking the top spot with $5.8 million in sales for the month of February. What else can we say? Patrick is always crushing this metric.

Naturally, the primary competitor and often alternate first place Top Producer is of course Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii. Richard’s team completed the month with $5.2 million in sales.

Our number one gentleman from the Sides Report, Jack Bailey, of Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, secures third place with the help of his trusty team and a total sales volume of $3.4 million dollars.

Thank you to everyone for continuing to shine and do what it is that you do best.

2020 Top Producers Year End Report

When you study enough Top Producer reports over the course of a year, you are reasonably confident exactly who will end up at the top of this list. The surprise comes in when the thing that inexplicably delights you the most – TIES – happens at the very top of our final Top Producer list for 2020.

Without further ado, we present: Jack Bailey and Mario Ferrante with 129 sides for the year. Legally, we can’t have a top three without these two (We’re kidding, of course).

Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro, located in North Carolina, is our example of a well-oiled machine, fine tuned to perfection only when adjustments are needed. His process is so well rehearsed, not only do things turn out how he planned, Jack helps other owners achieve great results, too.

Mario Ferrante of Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan, makes things perfectly even with 129 sides for the year also. In 2019, Mario and Jack were neck and neck all year long with Mario’s team pushing ahead in the final moments and 2020 looked very similar throughout. Somewhere between these two gentlemen is likely the secret to all residential real estate.

Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate in Owatonna, Minnesota, almost made first place a three-way tie, but comes in second place with a still tremendous 126 sides. Debra and her team appear regularly in our top ten. What comes to mind when thinking about her is: consistency has its rewards and benefits.

Third place is one more tie between Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Estate Masters in Port Huron, Michigan, and Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. Both of these gentlemen and their respective teams have cleared 115 sides for the 2020 year.

Because celebration is completely discretionary but highly encouraged, the numbers on this list “go all the way to 12” on this particular occasion (with apologies to Spinal Tap). With folks like Matt Kellam of Help-U-Sell Keystone Realty, closing 64 sides in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and Danny Kettle of Help-U-Sell Legacy with 61 sides in Layton, Utah, it is worth noting that any franchise office that is closing more than one house per week during a tumultuous time filled with uncertainty is worth making joyful noise over.

Cheers to absolutely every single Help-U-Sell Real Estate franchise office in 2020 who worked hard and kept the doors open.

Naturally, on our Gross Sales Volume report, we find Patrick Wood in the number one spot. For 2020’s final report, Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties handled $74.2 million in gross sales. Their hard work means they are one of our very familiar faces, and one we’re always happy to see.

First and second place on the Gross Sales Volume report is usually an alternating contest between Patrick Wood and Richard Criccio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii. Richard’s team brought in $63.9 million for 2020. We’re thinking a Ti Leaf lei to celebrate prosperity would be an appropriate choice to show admiration.

Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro, North Carolina take third place here with $26.1 million.

In a time when it was easy to be disheartened by bizarre circumstances coloring our lives, affecting our businesses, separating us from people that we care about, impacting the businesses we patronize like restaurants and grocery stores, no one would be blamed for forgetting that it was still incumbent upon us to make things happen for clients. Even if it felt like everything was standing still at times, life was still moving forward. Differently, but forward. These reports proved you would not be hindered.

Top Producers Q4 2020

The final quarter of 2020 was incredibly turbulent for many industries, but for real estate, several owners in the Help-U-Sell family could not keep houses listed for more than a few days.

People were looking to escape smaller city dwellings. They yearned to stretch out, and were taking off for bigger homes, smaller crowds, and much wider open spaces. That mad flurry of activity is best illustrated by our top two producers in the fourth quarter, both of whom run offices in more spacious states. First place is a tie, of course.

Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, and Jeffrey Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Estate Masters in Port Huron, Michigan, both total 41 sides. It is worth noting, both gentlemen have an active approach when it comes to training agents. They are constantly evolving best practices over time and making adjustments, curating the betterment and abilities of agents on their team to better serve future clients. It is worth paying attention to what they do and how they do it.

Second-place finds us with another tie. 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 offices narrowly missed first place with total 38 sides for Q4. It’s really cool to see so much momentum.

The singular (no tie) honor for third place goes to Mario Ferrante at Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. Mario has been a staple on our Top Producers list for so long, it’s more surprising when he’s not on it. For the last quarter, his team closed 34 sides.

On the Gross Sales Volume report, Patrick Wood from Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, once again takes our number one spot with $27.7 million in sales.

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Honolulu, Hawaii clinches second place for the fourth quarter. His team’s efforts created $20.1 million in gross sales and likely many “maholos” from clients who saved several thousand dollars in commissions.

In third place is our favorite coach in North Carolina: Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro. The 41 sides his team garnered for the quarter resulted in a gross sales volume of $8.5 million.

When life got quiet in the middle of a pandemic-ridden March last year, many of us held our breath and just continued to do what we know how to do best. Seasoned brokers and agents have witnessed many downward spirals in real estate, as well as benefited from riding the coattails of robust and thriving markets. Being able to adjust to the changing circumstances, continuing to work hard and show up (even virtually) for clients, and still prosper is the difference between people who love real estate, and people who went into it as a side gig or hobby. You all are real estate professionals. You love this business. It shows.
