Yes, that’s right, coopetition. It’s a phrase used by SEO expert Eric Blackwell when describing how agents here at TREG work together to educate both themselves and each other.
Right Price Analysis Class Benefits
April 3, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
So I thought I would say a little something about last week’s Right Price Analysis class held in our Virginia Beach office. First and foremost, thanks to everyone who attended the class and benefited from the depth of instruction provided in the class (check out what TREG agent Lisa Burrow had to say about it on Facebook). More than that, though, I’d like to say how proud I am of my colleagues who took the time to invest in their business and learn how to become masters at pricing property. I’m excited for the growth they’ll experience on the listing side of their trade, and I’m also excited for our seller clients. Not only will they be able to more effectively represent our sellers at the highest level possible with this new knowledge, but they will also bring that know-how to our buyer clients to help them find a house that is priced fairly.
In short, these agents dedicated their time to equip themselves at the highest possible level, and by doing so, our clients will be able to rely on them as trusted advisors for life. It doesn’t get better than that.
Buffini’s Turning Point 2012 Wrap-Up
March 16, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
What an exceptional conference we had at Brian Buffini’s Turning Point 2012 up in Richmond this week! I want to thank everyone who joined me and invested in themselves by absorbing such rich content over the past two days:
- Delores Alexander
- Nicole Ashley (Landmark Title)
- Marcia Babashanian
- Jen Basnight
- Dayla Brooks
- Greg Chaplin
- Jeanine Cline
- Laura Daugherty
- Cathy Duncan
- Shirley Edinger
- Deb Gayle (Landmark Title)
- Mitch Johnson
- Amy Lang
- Debbie Marable
- Mike Nishnick
- Kristin Perecko
- Barbara Robinson
- Marj Worley
I firmly believe that both the skills and agent development at TREG are at a very high level, so it was wonderful to hear Brian Buffini and Joe Niego affirming all the things our TREG associates are doing right now to grow and build their practices for the long term. The most important things we can be doing every day to expand our practice are sales and marketing. They are five times more important than anything else we can be doing on a daily basis. We know that a 10% growth in the business development of our practice equals a 50% increase in our income. Great takeaways from Brian and Joe!
I hope to see you next year in Richmond for this event, and don’t forget that Peak Producers is coming to the Chesapeake office in the fall: 8/27/12 – 11/19/12. This is powerful content! I look forward to seeing you there.

Save The Date! Book Break – “Poke The Box” by Seth Godin
Make sure to RSVP : Book Break “Poke The Box” by Seth Godin
Our next Book Break we are going to review “Poke The Box” by Seth Godin.
Book Description :
If you’re stuck at the starting line, you don’t need more time or permission. You don’t need to wait for a boss’s okay or to be told to push the button; you just need to poke.Poke the Box is a manifesto by bestselling author Seth Godin that just might make you uncomfortable. It’s a call to action about the initiative you’re taking-–in your job or in your life. Godin knows that one of our scarcest resources is the spark of initiative in most organizations (and most careers)-–the person with the guts to say, “I want to start stuff.”
Poke the Box just may be the kick in the pants you need to shake up your life.
Congratulations to Heather Earley for being the first to RSVP and comment. You will receive a free copy of the book!
