Twice each year, Jeff Osborne, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Capital City
conducts business meetings with all company agents and staff.
Discussion is wide ranging and mostly forward-looking, but reporting on
past performance versus our competition is always worth a couple of
slides. I spend most of my blogging time on discussing market
dynamics and commenting on industry-related news reports and specific
local market conditions, but these competitive reports deserve some
attention -- not for myself, but for Jeff and the strongly supportive
and productive business environment he has built in this incredible
company. At the RE/MAX Of Texas state convention last week, he
was recognized for these accomplishments by being named Broker/Owner Of
The Year! (Applause!)
This is no trivial feat: RE/MAX has been recognized nationally
for brokerage and agent productive (see
Pride in RE/MAX ... please forgive a little bragging
from last summer), so Jeff's award is truly a "best of the best"
prize. He won't even think of saying this for himself, so I'm
proud to do it for him here.
First, here is a look at Austin-area RE/MAX brokerage offices:
RE/MAX Capital City (our Austin office, where I work) and RE/MAX
Capital City II (in Cedar Park) both appear in the Top 5. What
you don't see is that RE/MAX Capital City III (Round Rock), just
finishing it's first full calendar year in business, was just 4
transactions behind #5 on that chart. RE/MAX accounts for
individual offices individually, but if our three locations were
combined, total production was more than 250% of the second-place
office -- a superb brokerage in their own right!
How does RE/MAX Capital City stack up against other Austin brokerage
companies? Here's one view:
That's a respectable 4th place among our competition, but the next
chart shows one of the reasons I am so proud to be part of this
organization:
Our 62 agents averaged 60% higher productivity than the 2nd place
performer in this ranking! That's important because the more you
practice any skill the better you get at it, the more variations and
potential pitfalls you find, and the better you are at knowing or
finding solutions.
Being at RE/MAX Capital City, I am surrounded by the best, most
experienced, most productive real estate professionals in Austin -- and
yes, I make my own contribution to that average, but that's not the
point. It is just a real joy to be a part of this team.
