Although 2008 has been a challenging year for real estate professionals and companies, it is important to remember that real estate is a local business and therefore I would like to share with you a few of Keller Williams Realty of Newport’s 2008 accomplishments:
While most companies are in danger of closing and losing money every month; we are financially solid in this market, we have ZERO debt as a market center but most importantly as a International company.
With the market being down 17.3% in Newport County and 17% in East Bay YTD over last year in terms of units we as our company we have had our struggles however we managed to be 48.6% over YTD last year for Agent Profit Share and have profit shared $25,000 to our agents.
We have grown to # 14 with 1.38% market share in the state; # 2 on Aquidneck Island with over 10% market share and # 5 in the East Bay with almost 4% market share as well as a signifigently less days on market than our compitition.
While our agents are dealing with a challenging market and reduced income, We as an office have raised over $25,000 in charitable giving contributions to our local community and beyond.
As you prepare for 2009 please consider aligning yourself with a company that is built to be recession proof and continues to be successful and grow their agents in a challenging market.
