According to Kevin Wiles, president of PenFed Realty Mid-Atlantic, the gains are due to increased opportunities to serve the Maryland, Virginia and Washington D. C. markets more effectively through its alignment with the Berkshire Hathaway Home Services name. “Our well respected brand reflects the company core values of trust, integrity, stability and longevity. These values are very important to all of our agents, because they know we are here for the long-term,” Wiles explained.

“The combination of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand and PenFed Realty,
which is backed by the venerable PenFed Credit Union (PenFed), creates a compelling value proposition for those selling and buying homes,” added Wiles. Along with being a wholly owned subsidiary of PenFed, a financial institution with $18 billion in assets, and having strong brand awareness, Wiles points to game changing innovative marketing solutions for its tremendous growth. “We have a Real Estate Rewards program that offers our home buyers up to $10,000 in closing cost savings. Our clients love this truly unique program,” he said.

“Moving forward we will constantly innovate, improve and invest across all areas of the company to help our agents succeed and attract new clients.”

Who wants to do an extra transaction a quarter?

Who wants to do an extra transaction a quarter?  Who wants to make an extra $15,000 each year?  And of course, who wants to make more by working less?

We hear it all the time but what does it actually mean to do one more transaction each quarter and, more to the point, how the heck do you do it?   In dollars and cents, if you look at our office’s average sales price of $550,000 at an average of a 3% commission, that would mean and extra $16,500 in gross commission income per quarter OR $66,000 per year!

How do you actually earn that extra $66,000 per  year in gross commission?  One of the things I really love about Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty is the company’s commitment to help its agents learn to do just that… one more deal per quarter, four more deals per year.

Tomorrow we are bringing in Gino Blefari, the legend named 2012 Buffini and Company Mentor of the year, member of the Mike Ferry Leadership Hall of Fame, first and only recipient of the Tom Ferry Organization Leadership Award, and recipient of the 2014 RIS Media Home Ownership Award for “outstanding achievements among real estate’s most influential and charismatic leaders” to teach our agents how to do just that.

Let me know if you would like to attend too! Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty is putting on this event as part of its commitment to growing the best and most efficient agents in the business and there is no charge to our agents. On top of that, Gino is not here to sell anything… no coaching programs, no blue boxes, no webinars, nothing! How cool is that?

Another reason why I LOVE this company!
