Team
of full time real estate agents creates unique, professional work environment.
They share their newest listings, ideas and information to promote and
raise our office in-house sales. Our Agents specialize in
many different areas, dealing with many types of real estate. Unlike
in most real estate companies, our Broker has decided not to compete with
agents and to "run the
office" full time. He is always available in case an agent needs help.
Agents at Home Center Realty do not have to be in the office to be successful.
Our technology allows agents to work from any place they choose to - but many of the
agents prefer to be in the office, where professional work environment and
contact with officemates makes them even more motivated and focused.

The
main reason that so many Agents have joined RE/MAX is the highest earning
potential. The 100% commission concept allows our agents to collect
all the commission they earn ! Modern office, technology support, top pay, and
the ability for agent to go as high as one may desire,
makes us an extremely attractive choice for carrier and success oriented Realtors.

Notice: In July 2000 we paid $10,287 average per agent ! |
RE/MAX
Agents are in business for themselves, but not by themselves.
Our office supports and helps Agents make their work easier and more effective.
The Administration team and secretaries handle day-to-day
business tasks including escrow accounts, closing documents preparation,
possessions, appointments, new listing processing, file storage, etc.
They also coordinate group advertisement (did you notice our full page
newspaper ads?),
take care of E&O insurances, board memberships and licensing. We
host monthly sales meetings to educate and motivate Realtors. Our
Office
provides the technology and support. That means
that Agents can focus on what they do best: Selling Homes.
The
100% commission concept is NOT for everybody. This system was
designed and works best for full-time agents producing over $1.5 million in
annual sales volume.

We
believe that today's real estate business is changing rapidly. We
are using the latest technology to keep up with changes and be the best in our business. Following is an
abbreviate list of unique features that Home Center Realty has to offer:
Computerized
Front Desk solution
Did
you know that we average 500 - 800 calls a day coming to our front desk
? That is not counting another 200 calls made directly to agents'
desks. Such call volume requires special care. Our front desk solution
was developed exclusively for us. The Front Desk
is powered by the network of 14 computers managed by TELEBase 2 software. It keeps track
of every call, has built-in Caller ID and
Alphanumeric Messaging capacity, integrates with MLS listings / agents
databases and makes secretary work fast, accurate and efficient. This
system solved the problem that many offices face: Agents receiving
all their calls, regardless if they are in the office or somewhere
else. Our Agents receive all of their calls. In fact, they are
notified about every call so fast, that they are able to call back their clients in less than
a minute!
TELEBase 2 system is a network of 14 computers working together at the
Front Desk
Our
Front Desk is fully computerized, but our callers are always getting live,
friendly assistance from our secretaries. They provide
bi-lingual, professional and live caller assistance.
Our policy is to provide an Agent with all of the information regarding their
deals. Whenever an Agent have a message, or someone left no-message or
when an Agent receives fax, package, or someone is calling regarding a transaction
the Agent is instantly notified on the alphanumeric pager. This allows the Agent to work longer in the field.
No need to run to the office to "check on things". |
TELEBase 2 Terminal - Receptionist workstation |
Appointment
Desk
Did
you ever call us to schedule an appointment for one of our
listings? Try us! Our system (part of TELEBase 2 system described
above) keeps track of the agents and listings. Our
appointment desk is so efficient, that we are handling over 100
appointments on busy days! Our Appointment Desk is still expanding.
In the near future all agents and interested clients will be able to
request appointments thru the Internet! We expect this service will significantly increase our client base and generate more sales for agents.
| RRS:
Rapid Response System Another
legendary component of TELEBase 2 system. When someone calls an Agent's
extension, that Agent is notified. It is like having a Caller ID box with you all the time!
Imagine surprised faces of clients when their Agent is calling them back
BEFORE they leave a message with our secretaries! |
Alphanumeric Pager
|
| BSA:
Buyer Seller Alert
After several
years of research and development, we are proud to introduce Buyer Seller
Alert System. BSA is a sophisticated computer system working on our
especially designed network that continuously
scans MLS for new listings for our clients. Once an Agent enters client to computer, search begins. Day after day, every
few minutes BSA scans the market. When a match is made, BSA pages
the Agent that new property just came out! The message contains brief listing description and contact information so he/she is able to schedule
an appointment with their clients to
see new listing within minutes of entering it to MLS! The best part
is that an Agent does NOT have to be in the office to do that. All info
is displayed on the alphanumeric pager. Did you know,
that our agents are usually first to show new homes on MLS ? Thanks to
BSA we can act much faster than our competitors!
Large client inventory on BSA allow Agents to do reverse searching when they have a new
listing. Once entered, BSA notifies
which agent has possible clients. Often, a sale is made the next day in-house -
before the new listing is entered to MLS!

it on-line. www.RXHC.com is still under continues development.

RE/MAX
Home Center was built from the ground up with "Hi-Tech Office"
in mind. Miles of extra wiring was laid, computer ports, triple
telephone connections, sophisticated electric system, networking and cable
television circuits - we have it all! We always make sure that our
technology is at Agent disposal. Currently we have 12 computer
stations on the floor available to use. That include 4 state-of-the art conference
rooms. Most of our clients are very much impressed with this setup
as they enjoy to look for homes on the computer before an actual showings. High
speed Internet/MLS access make shopping for homes even more convenient.
|
Our clients enjoy browsing the MLS and Internet with Agent in
one of our well equipped 4 conference rooms |
| In
a busy office like ours, it is critical for agents to be able to get on the
MLS, e-mail and Internet all the time. We maintain a hi-speed
communication room in our office. Total of six workstations
connected to dual DSL circuit in this
room are available to our agents 24 hours a day. An instant and fast
connection with an easy to use setup makes agent's work a pleasure. |
MLS Room - 6 Internet and MLS workstations in single room!

Joining a new company has been always
a difficult decision. To make it easier, we offer a Quick Start program to make transfer easier. With
this program, agents do not have to drastically change their work habits,
they remain on similar commission arrangements and are busy working while
adjusting to RE/MAX's 100% concept. We will help you to inform your
clients and community that you moved. Please contact our Broker,
to see how working with us can benefit you.
