What a great team- Coldwell Banker Fountain Realty

Wow what a great team I am with in Jacksonville, NC.  Having been here for 3 weeks now I have had the chance to meet and work with everyone for a while. I am so impressed with the level of energy, knowledge and drive.  Every agent at Coldwell Banker Fountain Realty is positive, eager to learn and to do business.

We have agents who have been in the business for 20 plus years and agents who have come into the business less than a year ago, what is great is that they all are open to new ideas, as well as tweaking the old ideas. You do not always have to re-invent the wheel to get better, sometimes a simple little change or an addition to an old tried and proven idea will give it that extra little push that was needed.  I am proud of the way everyone here at Fountain Realty has been open to any and all suggestions.

In the past 2 weeks we have had 2 new additions to the team who have fit right into the group and have hit the ground running.  I like to see the go get em attitude, I like to see the high spirit and drive to succeed.  I have talked in the past about Attitude and how important it is to be in charge of your own attitude, well it seems that every agent at Coldwell Banker Fountain is in control of their attitudes.  This is sure a smiling and happy bunch. We like to have fun and like to get the job done!

Coldwell Banker is a great brand, it is nationally known.  So when you add a team like ours at Coldwell Banker Fountain Realty the consumer really can not go wrong, and additionally any agent who joins our team can't go wrong either.  Our management team cares about our team.  We support them in every way that we can.  We realize that keeping our agents happy is also keeping them productive.  Come on over and check us out.  I am happy to talk with any agent who is considering a change.

The new step

Well it has been a while since I posted last.  I have made a big move from the Triad of NC to the coast of NC.  I am now the sales manager with Coldwell Banker Fountain Realty in Jacksonville, NC.  It was a tough decision to leave the Winston-Salem/Kernersville area after almost 24 years, but the time was right the opportunity was right and I jumped to take advantage of it.

I have been here for a week now and have been meeting the Team at Coldwell Banker Fountain.  What a great team it is, we have 17 agents all of whom are productive, eager and ready to serve the community. It is refreshing to meet such great people with great attitudes and a desire to get the job done. Business in Jacksonville is hot.  New construction everywhere, resales are selling and rentals are flying.  I couldn't be happier to be part of the team.

It is essential for any team to have a go get em attitude. We at Fountain Realty want to help our clients find the perfect home. With the inventory of homes on the market we are able to find that perfect fit for any client. I had the pleasure of working with two of our agents prior to my move. I was able to find the perfect home for myself.  The job got done and got done quickly.  I was able to find a home and close in less than 20 days.  This might not be the norm but it is possible. Thanks to the team of Realtors, mortgage advisers, insurance people, builders etc. for making the move as easy as possible.

As I move into my new position I will be working with the agents on training, problem solving, new technology and out of the box thinking. I want to help enhance the already great job the agents at Coldwell Banker Fountain do. Anything that can be done to make the agents job easier will in turn make the buyers and sellers experience a better one.

Follow me on my blog and learn what is new and exciting in the Jacksonville real estate market. I will try to post thoughts and ideas which can help agents do their jobs more easily and more effectively. Feel free to comment and have discussions on anything real estate related.

In closing today, I want to thank all my friends at Coldwell Banker Triad Realtors for the many great years I had there, and thanks for the wonderful training you gave me.  I will take everything I have learned over the years and put it to use as I venture into this new phase.  I also want to say how happy I am to be part of my new Coldwell Banker Fountain Realty team in Jacksonville. The SKY is the LIMIT.
