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....

I recently had the privilege of attending the Sotheby's International Realty Broker-Owner Orientation in Short Hills, New Jersey. Aside from three very educational days of learning more about the power of the brand and the industry in general was the networking among an extraordinary and successful group of real estate professionals consisting of Owners, Brokers and key managers.

One of the highlights of this event was taking a chartered bus from Short Hills to New York City to get a private tour and dinner in the Board Room of the Sotheby's Auction House.

It truly was a surreal moment for me as I looked around the room and realized the history of the auction house and the quality of the crowd surrounding me. For the first time since I launched the new company I took a few minutes to appreciate the journey of my career. I had myself almost in tears but they were happy and proud tears.

As a 34 year old entrepreneur and sole Owner of Hallmark Sotheby's International Realty I find events such as this priceless.

More to come on my extraordinary recruiting campaign since the launch!!!

I am so thankful for the opportunity to be part of such an amazing network of true real estate professionals! The Sotheby's International Realty brand has a power that is not found in the real estate industry. Since I launched Hallmark Sotheby's International Realty less than two and a half months ago, the office has more than doubled in size. More important than the amount of agents I have recruited is the quality of agents. As our agents are saying, "Hallmark Sotheby's International Realty agents are la creme de la creme of Realtors in MetroWest!" Another exmaple of the power of the brand...a recent recruit was contacted by a friend of a friend that interviewed several agents and decided that in a down market they only wanted the best brand to represent their property...the home owner heard that the agent just switched offices to a Sotheby's office and called her immediatley. The agent did not even have to present a Comparative Market Analysis on a multi million dollar listing! We are getting leads everyday now from unhappy Sellers that want a Strong International Company with quality agents representing their homes.

BECOMING PART OF THE SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY NETWORK IS TRULY THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE!
