Top Producers 9 Month Review, 2024

“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.” – Mark Twain

By the time we wrap up three quarters – nine whole months – it feels like the world simply rushes through October in anticipation of the holiday season, and bypasses the present to start planning the year ahead. While it is prudent to forecast the year ahead for business planning, don’t defer to the future at the expense of the present when it comes to making today count.

There are still postcards and emails to send, calls to make, networking events and client “pop bys” to appear at, and, of course, houses to buy and sell.

Procrastination IS tempting. Then there are those Brokers with the numbers to show that time waits for no one.

Our number one Eagle in the third quarter is Jack Bailey, and the team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. They have taken the present moment and pushed it to impressive heights. So far, and we have 102 reasons (or sides) for evidence.

In the second place position for Q3: Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. Jeff’s team has contributed to a robust Michigan market with 66 sides.

Just five sides behind in third place, we find Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County Inc., in Owatonna, Minnesota. Deb’s team show up with 61 sides for our 9 month report.

Top Producers Half Year Report 2024

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” – Tony Robbins

In a year that does not behave like other years, it can be hard to predict what is going to happen in the world, an industry, a market, or even a neighborhood. To the casual onlooker, a “sudden” explosion in popularity of a city can look like an overnight surprise. To the seasoned professional, they know many factors to weigh in from an influx of new jobs, great charter schools, housing builds, general affordability, and desirable environments. They all change.

Because those factors are always changing, so too are the tactics used to make yourself known, the types of marketing you try, the folks you choose to hire to help you, or the services you offer to grow your offerings. All of these things are an ever shifting mix of “spend more time and money on X” and “stop spending resources on Y.”

In other words, being open to new ways or habits that are serving you and making adjustments as necessary.

The number one spot goes to the man most vocal about evolving for better over time. Jack Bailey of Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, and his team take the Half Year Report by a long lead with 76 sides. 51 came from sellers. His methods speak for themselves.

In second place, is the ever industrious Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. Her team brings 44 sides to the table for the six month report.

Back to Michigan! Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, very nearly tied for second. 42! For our literary lovers: “The number 42 is the answer to the “Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.” – according to Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Top Producers Q2 2024

“Timid salesmen have skinny kids.” – Zig Ziglar

The real estate market can be a glorious thing. Sometimes it is so robust that houses fly off the market faster than rocket pops on a summer afternoon. Other times are a tough test that pits a true professional against people dabbling in real estate on a lark.

The longtime professionals are always planting seeds today for the harvests of good will down the road. There are no “skinny kids” with the seasoned experts who earn well during good times, yet also plan for leaner times. They expect and anticipate that roller coaster ride, because it always repeats eventually. They act accordingly.

So, we find ourselves looking squarely at Q2.

Ever the gardener tending to the seeds and plants, our favorite Top Producer and occupier of the number one spot is Jack Bailey from Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Jack and his team have amassed quite the bounty in Q2 with 40 sides.

A person with a strong track record of steady growth, is Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. Her crew takes second place in our second quarter report with 23 sides.

Top Producers May 2024

“The world’s favorite season is spring. All things seem possible in May.” – Edwin Way Teale

The caveat of saying all things seem possible, is that all things ARE possible. Which, of course, embraces good and bad. Just like every day life, in every possible nuance, profession and industry. The month of May continued being a bit weird: The National Association of Realtors continues to grapple with the settling of commission lawsuits. Interest rates crept up a bit. Housing prices were steady in places, while dropping in others. Home builders decided if they were pushing ahead or scaling back. A lot of uncertainty colored everyday information and made a lot of folks hesitant to make a move to sell or buy.

As with every trend, something speaks to it, and something speaks against it. Despite the uncertainty, our Experts Next Door are showing up, adjusting to every new obstacle they face and doing the work necessary to get a listing and make a sale.

At the top of the trend in North Carolina, Jack Bailey and company at Help-U-Sell Greensboro. The top spot is retained with 16 total sides for May, with a worthwhile 11 coming from sellers.

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

Second place is a two way 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 in Port Huron, Michigan. Both offices bring seven sides for May.
