The brokers had a meeting with Tom Kunz, President and CEO of C-21. The awards gala started Sat. evening at 6:30 with a reception and dinner at 7:00. During the evening the silent auction was continued along with a live auction. The money raised was donated to Easter Seals. I dont know the exact amount collected, but I do know it was alot and was raised for a very good cause. The speakers for the evening was Tom Kunz, President and Ceo, Dale Olmer, Regional Supervisor from Phoenix, Arizonia, and Mike McKinder, Business Consultant. It was a wonderful event and everyone left feeling great. Tom Kunz,Mike McKinder and Dale Olmer had such a good time, they promised to be back next year and wished the event could have been videotaped so they could share with other states,agents, and brokers how much fun it all was. It was a great event and all who attended left recharged and ready to conquer the real estate market. In one of Tom Kunz speaches he said"Just Believe" Believe we are #1, believe people are still buying and selling real estate and believe you can provide the best service around. If you believe, your attitude will show it and the sky is the limit. What a way to end the awards gala. If anyone has a chance to go to a state award ceremony, you need to attend. You will come away wanting to always be the very best Real Estate Professional you can be!! The market here in Jonesboro is still good. People still need to buy and sell homes, so remember if you are a buyer or seller, CENTURY 21 INDIAN REALTY is the one you need we have some of the states best. So I am ready along with the other agents here to make 2009 the best year yet. See ya next year at the award gala.
