Top Listing Professional Interview

BIO: Retired after 26 years in the US Air Force and then just goofed off for three years working for the government. Got into real estate in 1993 and started Internet marketing in 1995. Bought 52 domain names in 95 and started designing and hosting web site and now I have over 240 Internet web sites. I get 7% commission on all residential listings except for short sales and bank owned. The only reason I don’t get 7% for these is because there is no one I can talk to personally who has the authority to give 7 % otherwise I would get 7% there also. I have a team of 10 agents and we are known as “Utah’s Most Active Agents”. We hold client appreciation events four times a year, affiliate luncheons twice a year, and sponsor various community activities from Easter Egg Hunts, Cancer Walks/Runs, High School Sports Teams, Neighborhood Yard Sales and various real estate seminars every year. We sponsor a very large Christmas party for kid every year at one of the High School and have been doing it for 5 years now. We do all the local trade shows and community events, like Home and Garden Sows, Home Décor Shows, Bridal Fairs, County Fairs, Senior Fairs, and the Parade of Homes.
