A real estate firm who selectively and successfully recruits experienced Realtors
I spent the last 6 years positioning the company as a high end well respected independent boutique real estate firm. The challenge was always in recruiting. The solution was to associate myself with the best and most sophisticated brand in the industry. Since our launch 4 months ago I have successfully and very selectively recruited 11 wonderful Realtors, who complement my original team of 5. My goal is to support them in every way possible to make them even better agents.
A real estate company at the forefront of online technology and superior marketing
One of the things that I have always prided myself on is my marketing skills. This is probably the main reason why I stepped away from the traditional real estate company I worked for and started my own firm 7 years ago. Most of our competitor’s lack of marketing support is quite staggering especially when there are two key reasons why homes sell, exposure and price.
Sotheby's International Realty's sophisticated marketing program is available to all agents via a comprehensive and user friendly intranet site. In addition to a top of the line marketing program for brochures and postcards I provide the agents with an experienced, young and tech savvy Marketing professional for support. My Marketing Coordinator, Erica Wallace, has brought all of us up to date with online social media. In our evolving world of technology and given that approximately 90% of buyers shop online, we understand the importance of meeting the needs of the new age of real estate.
A true real estate company is not about one person… it is about a group of professionals who come together as a group and learn and grow together!

She prides herself on "hand picking" each of her agents and thus she is as committed to their success as they are to their own.

Hopkinton, Massachusetts (Jan. 26, 2009)— Hallmark Sotheby’s International Realty, a luxury real estate firm based in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, today announced that its brand Web site, www.sothebysrealty.com, soon will be multi-lingual with the addition of seven new languages.
All functional and static information on the Web site were translated into Spanish and Portuguese this month. It also will be translated into French, Italian, German, Russian and traditional Chinese within the next few weeks. Translations will be done by professional translators based in each respective country, not by machine translation methods.
The brand added a currency conversion to the Web site earlier this year.
“The translations will be done by professional translators in each respective country, not by machine translation methods, and the Web site will be search engine optimized for each language,” said Erika Paul, President and Broker-Owner. “Consumers in the Metro West area of Boston now will be able to search our inventory of fine properties in their native language with just the click of a button.”
According to Broker-Owner, Erika Paul, the Sotheby's International Realty affiliation offers her firm the tools and resources needed to provide clients with the very best in real estate services.
Six years ago, Hallmark Realty established itself as a boutique brokerage firm that has always offered its clientele a level of service not often found in the industry. Now as part of the Sotheby's International Realty network, the office has access to the very best in marketing resources and technology which she feels will take the level of service to new heights. Paul also pointed out that it was not only the high quality services that led her to join the company, but their commitment to the client as well.
"Our focus has been, and always will be, completely on the well being of the client and building lasting relationships that endure long after a home is bought or sold. In Sotheby's I saw this same dedication to the client and knew right away that we would make the perfect fit."

It had to be one of the most beautiful fall days in New England... two of my bravest Realtors, Suzanne Hart and Mary Ellen Wasielewski agreed to play in the annual Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament with me. As a Chamber Board Member this was the first year I had the privilege to play with other women! I was not able to recruit a fourth so Rob Phipps had the honor of playing in our group (what a lucky guy!) We truly could not have asked for a better foursome. Not only is Rob a member of the club but he plays golf 4 times a week! He was very patient with us and we laughed more than we actually hit the ball!
We all agreed that this was an amazing way to spend a beautiful fall day. Video to come soon....

With a Bachelors degree in International Studies and a strong background in sales and marketing, Erika is the President and Broker-Owner of Hallmark Sotheby’s International Realty.
Erika entered the Golf and Country Club Industry as the Membership Coordinator for The Windsor Club in Vero Beach, Florida. Later, she relocated to Atlanta, Georgia where she was the Director of Membership for Smoke Rise Golf and Country Club. Subsequently, she was recruited by one of the leading membership consulting companies in the industry, where she served as Operations Director. As Operations Director, Erika guided the start up teams for projects such as The Daniel Island Club, Charleston, SC, Hidden Creek Golf Club, Atlantic City, NJ, Black Creek Club, Chattanooga, TN, The Manor, Atlanta, GA, Country Club of the Desert, Palm Springs, CA, Private Retreats, Fairfield, CT, Tuscawilla Country Club, Orlando, FL, Dallas National, Dallas, TX and The Sanctuary Golf and Country Club, Hopkinton, MA..
After narrowing down the Marketing Director search to three well qualified candidates, Erika was asked by the Principals of The Sanctuary Golf and Country Club to relocate to Massachusetts and take on the role of Marketing Director at the much anticipated highly publicized Jack Nicklaus Design Club. Erika and her family relocated to Boston to be a part of this exciting venture. Unfortunately, after selling more than one hundred $100,000 memberships from conceptual plans, the project was shut down due to the presence of an endangered species, spotted turtles that have since been taken off the state’s endangered list.
In her various roles working with high end country clubs, Erika developed close working relationships with Realtors across the country. Although offered a number of very challenging opportunities in corporate America Erika decided to pursue what she felt was the next logical move in her career… real estate. Erika began her real estate career at ReMax and Century 21 while continuing to work closely with the premier developer and builder in the community. After a few years learning the ropes, she decided to start her own brokerage firm and concentrate on marketing and client service beyond what the traditional firms had to offer.
Erika lived in Berlin, Germany for ten years and has traveled extensively throughout Europe and Africa. She, her husband Nicholas, her daughter Chloe and their Chocolate Lab Foster, have all become entrenched in this community. Aside from her work with the Board of the MetroWest Symphony Orchestra, Erika serves as a Board member on the Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce and is the Chairperson of their marketing committee. She is also a member of the MOM’s Club.
“Erika understands the Real Estate business and has all the qualities of a great leader. Matching her abilities to the Sotheby's International brand will allow her to provide service to her clients and customers that cannot be matched by any other Realtors in our marketplace.” January 23, 2009
