Top Producers 2023 Year In Review

Celebrate endings for they precede new beginnings. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie

After much media hand-wringing, mortgage rates that brought tears to our eyes (not in a good way), and a dramatic shift from sellers once eager to uproot to sellers waiting it out from fear of not being able to find a home elsewhere, thus resulting in even tighter inventory, we made it here to one report to rule them all.

Despite these obstacles, life, like real estate, eked a path forward; Because at the end of all good reasons to not sell a home or buy a home, people still need to do what they must. Whether moving for a job or helping Great Aunt Linda transition from a house to a condo, predictions or rates do not stop life in its tracks.

Our Top Producers soldiered on, tweaking plans or marketing spends as necessary, and renewed efforts to reach out to buyers and sellers, both old and new. Folks still want to save money where they can, of course! The experts next door at Help-U-Sell Real Estate were there to provide the same great service at a set fee, as we have been for nearly five decades. 

Jack Bailey

If there is anyone who demonstrates the resolve to find opportunities in each day, that person has to be Jack Bailey and the lively lineup at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. The seller sides tip slightly higher at 67, but adding up to 125 total sides for the year.

The men from Michigan take the second and third spots. 

In second place is Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. The number 85 and the work of a trusted team was what brought him here.

Just two sides behind in third place, is Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. 83 sides makes 2024 a productive year to be proud of.

Fourth place takes us to Minnesota, where we find Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna. Debra’s office helped amass 69 sides for 2023, with sellers outnumbering buyers by nearly double.

Top Producers Q4 2023

“Wisdom comes with winters.” – Oscar Wilde

There is so much change in a single season, but none probably more dramatic or busy than winter. In less industrialized times, folks spent the fall harvesting and canning in preparation for the colder months ahead, sustaining the day to day activities until the time of growth returned. If one planned poorly, winter was harder to survive, but ideally that made one wiser for the next round.

Real estate cycles, and the committed industry professionals, share similarities to preparation for a long winter. They worked hard to create and sustain growth when it counted. When the outlook predicts a turn for leaner times, they conserve and plan for the future, so there are resources to rely on.

Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina have made a great example of planning and preparation as a regular part of the day’s work. They come in first place for the fourth quarter of 2023 with 26 sides.

Second place belongs to Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties, in Chino Hills, California. His office matched first place in the number of seller sides for Q4, but come in six sides fewer for a total of 20.

We get a triple tie for third place!

Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan, Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota, and Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. All three offices bring in 15 sides to land third place for Q4.

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

In fourth place we found  Kimberly Zelena and her crew at Help-U-Sell Direct Savings Real Estate in Waynesboro, Virginia. 12 sides for Q4 meant an average of one a week!

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.

December Top Producers 2022

Jack Bailey

Case in point, Jack Bailey. He and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina are number one, racking up twelve sides for the twelfth month. Always looking for new ways to fine tune the plan and make adjustments, Jack is the master of cultivating positive change into positive outcomes.

In the third spot is Mario Ferrante and his team from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. With seven sides for the month, that makes even a cold Michigan morning feel a bit warmer.

Top Producers January 2022

We are fresh into 2022 and the first Top Producers report for the new year! 

Predictions for real estate during what is now our third year <!> living with covid, are as wild and varied as they’ve always been. Some experts predict a bubble, while others foretell an outright crash, and still others say there will be a slow down – but that housing costs will continue to grow, even if the time between selling and buying slows down a little. What we know for sure is that our folks are not slowing down.

Case in point, we open the number one spot for New Year with a tie between Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota, and Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters of Port Huron, Michigan. Both offices kicked off January by amassing 12 total sides.   

Second place is a lovely familiar face: Kimber Regan from Help-U-Sell The Smart Choice in Hanford, California. Her team nabbed 9 sides for the first month. 

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties of Oahu, Hawaii takes third place with 8 sides, proving once again that good service and client savings make for a busy team. 

Jack Bailey

In fourth place, Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina end the first month with six sides. 

Lots of ties to celebrate too! A great start to the New Year.
