Top Producers 2023 – 9 Month Review

“’And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed!)” – Dr. Suess

After nine months we find ourselves here with the most telltale evidence of the successes of the year so far, and a pretty reliable outlook on how the year will finish come the close of December. Nine months already! Maybe because we’re not cooped up the way we once were, time is now whizzing by like a race car intent on making up for slowness the pandemic put upon us. Nevertheless, we have some measures of success.

Anyone paying attention will not be shocked to see Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina at number one. 99 total sides! There are still three months to go! What will Jack and the team do? Sell a metric ton more houses.

In second place is Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. Nine months of hard work from Mario and the team have resulted in 69 sides.

Behind by just one side in third place is Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. 68 sides are on the books, and the odds seem high he will get over 100 before the year is though.

Burning question: Between Mario and Jeff’s big presence with sides – what is making Michigan such a hotbed of home sales? Inquiring minds!

For all our offices: both the big productions and the one-broker shows, we say cheers to you all. Success indeed!

On our Gross Sales Volume report there is much ado about MUCH. Millions and millions of such much.

The ever busy Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California returns to first place with $37.6 million to show for nine months of hard work. Congratulations to Patrick and the team.

This can only mean that Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii is doing the switcheroo into second place with $31.8 million. A substantial amount for quarters one through three!

In third place is the ever-busy Jack Bailey and his team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. $29 million in sales makes North Carolina also look like there is a home selling party and everyone was invited.

This is a tricky time of year. There is still work to be done to make the rest of the year count. At the same time, those of us who are busy minded bees are casting an eye to 2024 and wondering how we can make the new year even more successful and grand. There are many long answers – but the short answer is YOU!

Top Producers Q3 2023

With Q3 in the books in what can only be described as a very strange year, the Top Producers of Help-U-Sell Real Estate continue to do things that are not so strange.

Our Broker/Owners still call on previous clients and do “pop-bys”. They get referrals. They send postcards to neighboring homeowners. They send emails and texts letting folks know of when a new house has hit the market. They post pictures and videos on social media. They stay involved and informed. More importantly, they broadcast that information to where it needs to go.

The results are cumulative, in good economies and rough interest rates. The results are that people always need to buy and sell homes, and they keep our Top Producers in mind when that time comes, because it always does.

At the top of the third quarter is Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. With 39 total sides from the team, the sounds of success were sweeter than summer rain.

26 sides is what it takes to score second place in Q3, which is where we find Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. Stockpiling sellers made for a swell summer.

Just three sides back in third is Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. 23 sides for Q3 re-cements his long-standing place as one of the top brokers for his region of Michigan.

Taking a gander at the Gross Sales Volume Report, the third quarter brings some usual suspects in unusual places.

Strolling in to second place is Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. Q3 finds Patrick and company with $7.9 million reasons to be happy.

Taking third with $7.4 million is Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii. The island is always hot for home sales.

We’re extending the Q3 list past ten to celebrate all the offices having over $1.5 million in sales or greater.

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.

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.

Richard Cricchio, Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties

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.

September Top Producers 2023

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

While F. Scott Fitzgerald was correct about the shifting of life patterns in September, he could not have predicted how much that applied to patterns in real estate. After all, the fall is typically a peak time when people are moving, buying, and selling homes for any number of reasons including work and back to school. There might be a summer slow down but then busy picks up again.

One of our consistent Top Producers, Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan, has harnessed that seasonal momentum for the close of summer and opening of fall. Jeff and his team take the top spot this month with 11 sides.

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

Jack Bailey, Help-U-Sell Greensboro — Debra Schmidt, Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County Inc

In the second spot: a three-way tie. This one features Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota, Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina, and Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. All three offices put six total sides on the board.

In third place is Ryan Joyce from Help-U-Sell Bakersfield Equity Savers in California. His office finished September with five sides, which might be his lucky number because he has gotten on the board with it a few times now.

In fourth place is a four way tie with four sides each. We don’t care who you are, that’s just fun to say.

Paʻipaʻi (or applause in English) goes back to Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii, September ends with $3.1 million for the month.

In a stealth move to second is Yasumi Davis of Help-U-Sell Golden Homes in Martinez, California. She sold September smartly and put $2.4 million on the board.

Third place goes to our number one from the sides report: Jeff Hedberg of Help-U-Sell Real Masters in Port Huron, Michigan. With nearly $2.1 million to round out his sides, Jeff and the team had a spectacular September.

August Top Producers

“August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.” – Sylvia Plath

“The odd uneven time” might be how people are describing the current state of the real estate market. Many buyers are postponing buying a house. Many sellers are deciding to stay put a while longer; This is in conjunction with general concerns about the economy, and with mortgage interest rates specifically. Regardless of mixed news and grayish tidings, that news does not deter our Top Producers from carrying on with their best practices for maintaining constant communication with past sellers and buyers, and creating leads that pay off into sales.

When you are great at what you do, you do not sweat the news. No one has fine tuned this sentiment into sales better than Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Jack and his trusty team finished August on top with 18 total sides.

Taking second place for a second consecutive month is Mario Ferrante from Help-U-Sell Metropolitan in Woodhaven, Michigan. Mario and his team come in with eight sides for the eighth month.

In third place is Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County in Owatonna, Minnesota. The Minnesota team made the board with five sides for August.

With four teams coming in with a tie for fourth place, the Help-U-Sell family offices are determined to march forward and make valuable efforts that pay off.

On the Gross Sales Volume report, there is a little of everything.

With 18 sides from the first report, it’s no surprise to see Jack Bailey at the top spot here as well. The busy team at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina took a vote and decided they would crush the close of summer with $6.5 millions in sales.

In second place we find Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California. His team finished the summer with $3.4 million.

We are back to the islands for third place.

Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties in Hawaii completes the endless summer with $2.9 million.

Plenty of offices in the Help-U-Sell family had million dollar months, and a couple of “pretty close” to a million, too. We continue to salute and celebrate the hard work you’ve made happen.
