Have You Set Your Goals for the New Year?

Today I wanted to talk to you about a topic I am often asked about and that is goals and goal setting.  As we progress through the New Year, this is something that is obviously very important. The first and most important step in goal setting is writing your goals down. Physically writing your goals down for the new is something I am currently doing with my agents. We meet individually, talk about goals and make a plan for the New Year and this exciting year in real estate!

Another reason that goals are so important is that they fuel our ambition. We need motivation to get out there and accomplish the things we want to do. The inspiration to aim high is crucial. Goals also hold us accountable; if we aren’t held accountable, we won’t everything that we want to. Besides that, goals give us much needed direction. They outline where we want to go and what is important to us.

Thanks and have a great day!

Does Your Broker Offer You Health Insurance?

Today I wanted to talk to you about health insurance and the benefits we offer at Premium Properties Real Estate Services. We have been providing real “true group” health insurance to our sales agents for the past seven years. We are currently with the reputable Blue Cross Blue Shield and our agents pay $155.73 for the least expensive plan (there are four to choose from). The plan is a guaranteed issue plan, which means you will be given insurance no matter what, and there is no other broker that I’m aware of in Central Florida that offers health insurance plans for their sales people.

This is not only a great benefit for my agents, but for me as well. Offering health insurance helps me retain agents that were able to get on the plan seven years ago. Also with the implementation of the Affordable Health Care Act, everyone watching this video is required to have health insurance or be subject to some sort of fine or penalty. To avoid this, health insurance is offered to full-time sales people at Premium Properties.

The reason why no other broker in town will offer this sort of plan is because it is required that the employer pay for half of the premium. When you join our health insurance program, I do exactly that. Very few brokers would even think about pay a few hundred dollars a month for a salesperson to have insurance, but for me it makes sense. I take care of the people who take care of me!

I’m always available to speak with you about our health insurance programs. Thanks and have a great day!

What Technologies Are We Using to Help You?

Today I wanted to talk to you about the technology Premium Properties utilizes to help you. One of the systems we are using is a lead management program called Market Leader. This system keeps all of leads in one place since your leads will be coming in from various websites. Premium Properties pays the extra money to showcase your listings through several real estate sites. Once the system receives your leads, it will send you a text message and an email so you can keep up with your customer.

At Premium Properties, we also are using a system called ToolkitCMA. This program helps you with your CMA’s and market analysis. Our marketing department will put the data together and bind them into a booklet to ensure professionalism when going to meet a seller.

Thank you for watching video blog and have a great day!
