2009 "Challenges and Opportunities"

Let's take a quick look at the past so we can get a benchmark to work on the future ... In 2008 Clients First Realty, LLC closed 35 million dollars in residential transactions ... This was a 178% dollar volume increase over 2007 ...

CFR had a 190% net increase in AGENTS in 2008 ... 'THE COMPANY' had a 321% increase in closed transactions in 2008 vs 2007 ...

The average priced property that sold in 2007 was 243K ... in 2008 the average dropped to 181K ... A lot of our agents realized the tremendous pricing opportunities that was available to their clients, both first time buyers and investors ...

We started the year off with positive sales plus we've signed on several new agents ... The life blood of CFR is new agents ... if everyone could recruit just one agent, we will double our size again ...

The company will have a recruiting drive from January 15th to February 15th ... EVERY AGENT YOU SEND US DURING THIS THIRTY DAY RECRUITING DRIVE WILL BE WORTH $100 TO YOU ... Be sure they tell us you sent them, so we know who to pay ...

The economy is an issue, but hard work, persistence and consistency will help pull you and your love ones through these trying times ... Continue to apply your talents and ask everyone you talk to if they know anyone interested in buying or selling a house ... there are deals being made daily ... just remember to keep asking for the business ...

Sarita Ortega is our new lady in 'Admin' ... she is new to the real estate business but is quickly learning our system and the real estate vocabulary ... please be patient with her for the next couple of weeks ... we are very fortunate to have a individual such as Sarita join our organization ... she has a 'Great Family' too ...

We made tremendous progress throughout 2008 when over 50 real estate companies closed their doors, filed bankrutpcy or where bought out rather than using the 1st two options ... thanks to our Agents and their hardwork we continue to grow ... your great attitudes are something that I am very proud of and know that the next 4 years will show a positive turn around for all of us.
