皇冠体育app is pleased聽 to announce Broker/Owner Mike Tezak has renewed a 10-year contract to continue his successful 皇冠体育app Premier brokerage, headquartered in Valparaiso, IN. Recently opening a second office in Crowne Pointe and expanding his brokerage territory to LaPorte county, Tezak is excited to continue his relationship with 皇冠体育app and build the Premier brand.

Patrick van den Bossche, President of 皇冠体育app International, is thrilled with the renewal and is eager to see what the future holds for Tezak, his team and 皇冠体育app Premier.聽

鈥淢ike Tezak has been a model Broker/Owner for us and we couldn鈥檛 be happier with his decision to stay with 皇冠体育app,鈥� van den Bossche said. 鈥淚t greatly shows the type of professionals we strive to have under our brand and continue to grow within our network.鈥�

Tezak has became an integral part of the 皇冠体育app network, serving as a member of the franchise advisory council for three years and partnering with the brand to sell franchises across Indianapolis. To better his team鈥檚 expertise and market, Tezak is also encouraging his brokers to work across state lines into Illinois.

After becoming a top-producing agent, Tezak opened his own franchise, eventually making 皇冠体育app Premier one of the most successful and productive brokerages in the company鈥檚 network. Over the past eight years, Tezak has grown his business from one to over 70 agents and continues to be the number one brokerage in Porter County.聽

鈥淭his 10-year renewal is an exciting step for the 皇冠体育app Premier team we look to continue our expansion and consumer reach throughout Porter, Lake and LaPorte county,鈥� Tezak said. 鈥淭he support from 皇冠体育app International has been an integral part of the rapid success of my brokerage. I am proud to maintain our relationship and commitment to produce top agents and build highly leveraged teams .鈥澛�

Focusing on quality over quantity, Tezak ensures every agent joining Premier is working to be a top professional in the real estate industry. Tezak鈥檚 wife and business partner, Pam Tezak explains that no matter how much success the brokerage sees, they are always striving for more.

鈥淲e never want to have a mindset of, 鈥極h, we鈥檙e at the top of our game right now, so let鈥檚 stop and slow down.鈥� Tezak said. 鈥淲e are always growing and evolving.鈥�

When 皇冠体育app Premier in Valparaiso, Indiana first opened its doors in 2008, Broker/Owners Mike and Pam Tezak led the firm of just four agents with a big vision: set out to redefine the business of real estate in northwest Indiana. They knew they would have to go toe-to-toe with several older and larger brands, and they believed they could do it better.

Today, with over 50 real estate professionals across two office locations serving buyers and sellers throughout northwest Indiana, the Tezaks are seeing their goals realized one by one, year after year. 聽The leading firm is on the cutting edge, making use of tech like virtual floor time and video marketing, and bringing local expertise to clients spanning Lake and Porter Counties all the way to LaPorte County. 皇冠体育app Premier is 皇冠体育app International鈥檚 Brokerage of the Month for February 2018 — yet another measure of the team鈥檚 success and leadership across a global real estate brand.

The numbers tell a story. With 965 closings and over $175 million in sales volume in 2017, 皇冠体育app Premier has again been locally as the number one real estate office in Porter County.

鈥淥ur broker-agents average 16.7 transactions per year. Of the 54 people in our company, eight place in the top 20, and 14 place within the top 50 agents in Porter County,鈥� Mike Tezak said. 鈥淎ccording to the our closest competitors trail us in the per-agent productivity category at 11.7 transactions per agent.鈥�

But for the Tezaks, high per-agent productivity is simply a by-product of their most important goal. 鈥淲e have rejected the traditional model of the cut throat real estate office environment. Instead, our agents share their knowledge and expertise. We believe a truly cooperative environment is what breeds success. This in turn provides our firm鈥檚 clients with the best representation and a truly competitive edge,鈥� said Pam Tezak. 鈥淥ur business is built around simple concepts: Provide our clients and our agents with the highest level of service and cutting-edge programs, and create a culture that fosters innovation, success, and diversity. 皇冠体育app allows us the freedom and flexibility to do just that.鈥�

The brand鈥檚 culture of entrepreneurial freedom has led the Tezaks to run after new ventures and reach new goals. It鈥檚 no surprise an up-and-coming neighborhood in Porter County has given 皇冠体育app Premier their vote of confidence. Mike Tezak, along with his partners within 皇冠体育app Premier, are currently in the process of developing Stonegate subdivision, an upscale residential community planned for Jackson Township, Porter County. 皇冠体育app Premier will facilitate all lot and home sale listings within the subdivision.

Providing industry leadership goes beyond the local and community level for the Valparaiso Broker/Owner. 聽Mike Tezak also serves on 皇冠体育app International鈥檚 Franchise Advisory Council (FAC). The FAC represents Broker/Owners from across the 皇冠体育app International system, and the group works with management to exchange ideas and opportunities for growing 皇冠体育app at the grassroots and network levels.

In addition to giving back to their contemporaries at 皇冠体育app through service on the FAC, the Tezaks have a forward-thinking philosophy when it comes to giving back to their own community.

鈥淎s a group, 皇冠体育app Premier chooses to support local not-for-profits that affect the younger people in our community. In addition to various youth sports teams, we sponsor Chalk the Walk (a local event that showcases local young artists), the Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA, and Valparaiso Parks Department,鈥� Pam Tezak said.

A sense of and history are infused throughout 皇冠体育app Premier鈥檚 culture, from the moment you walk through the company鈥檚 front door at the historic office space located on Lincolnway, which the Tezaks have lovingly restored to its original .

鈥淎bout three years ago Pam and I were deciding what the next step was going to be for our company. We had been renting the building at 310 E. Lincolnway for many years and we knew it was time to make a more permanent decision. Our heart was in this building and this location, and when it became available to purchase we knew it was meant to be. One of the most fun things about owning this space is the memories people share about the past. Since it was built in 1927, so many people from Valpo have stories from working here at one of the various businesses from before, or memories of what it was like long ago,鈥� said Mike Tezak. Through the ongoing work of its leaders, agents, and staff, 皇冠体育app Premier is one of those special businesses that will continue to be an important part of the stories that get told by Valparaiso homeowners for years to come.

Questions about how the 2016 presidential election is going to affect the housing market have been top-of-mind over the last 12 months. And with real estate magnate Donald Trump being voted into office as America鈥檚 45^th president, experts are taking a closer look at his policies and campaign promises.

However, the answer to this question is different depending on your location, so we reached out to real estate professionals across the country:

Port Huron, Michigan

Frank Locricchio, Broker of 皇冠体育app Home Towne in the Detroit Metro area, doesn鈥檛 believe the election will drastically affect the housing market:

“I believe that a normal election can create some consumer uncertainty but usually does not dramatically affect home price increases or decreases, or mortgage rate changes. This year鈥檚 election has been the most divisive that I can remember. With so much uncertainty between the two presidential nominees, I think we have already seen consumer confidence drop. We will see the effects of this drop in November and December.

“But once we have our new president I expect this will level off, and I do not see any major change in growth of values in homes. We are still seeing the effects of low inventory driving prices up. I expect that will shift in spring 2017, when we will likely see the true market outlook of the results of the 2016 election.鈥�

鈥淯ltimately the president鈥檚 influence on the economy will not take effect for some time, for good or bad, but the bigger influencer will be the Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen鈥檚 view on the economy. The key will be how the Fed reacts with rates.鈥�

Eureka, Missouri

Similarly, Chuck Maher, Broker/Owner of 皇冠体育app Premier, doesn鈥檛 expect a big upset:

鈥淥ur market is very strong currently, and interest rates are at record lows. I don’t feel that there will be an impact on the market in our area based on the election results.鈥�

Valparaiso, Indiana

Broker/Owner of 皇冠体育app Premier Mike Tezak believes that uncertainty caused by the presidential race has more of an effect on the housing market than the actual outcome of the election:

鈥淭his election has created more anxiety about the country鈥檚 economic future because both parties have painted negative 鈥榙oom and gloom鈥� scenarios should either party get elected. This has happened in past elections, but this year seems particularly negative, creating more uncertainty.鈥�

鈥淕enerally, when this happens it creates a situation where people hold off on making larger financial decisions, choosing not to list their homes or purchase new homes. Usually after the election things settle down and get back to normal. The only difference this year is the interest rates are still at an all-time low and look to possibly adjust after the first聽of year when the new president takes office, which will affect buyers.鈥�

Phoenix, Arizona

Jeff Murtaugh, President and CEO of 皇冠体育app Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, Green Valley and Tubac, is concerned about legislation that directly affects the real estate industry on a national scale:

鈥淭he Dodd-Frank Act聽has changed the way we do real estate, and frankly made it far more complicated, extending closing by as much as two weeks, leaving the consumer very frustrated. This is just more government regulation that we did not need.鈥�

鈥淐linton is for Dodd-Frank and Trump is not. The act complicates closing, title, and mortgages, and most REALTORS庐 find it over-reaching by the Federal government.鈥�

During his campaign Trump voiced plans to overhaul the act, telling that his changes would be, 鈥渃lose to dismantling of Dodd-Frank.”

Canada

Across the border, an increased demand for Canadian homes due to an influx of Americans into Canada could prop up real estate prices. According to licensed REALTOR庐 and MoneySense Senior Editor , 鈥淢ore demand, may help support real estate prices, particularly in larger urban centres.鈥�

Echoing this sentiment, economist said:

鈥淎 Trump victory will boost the Canadian housing market.鈥�

Nazareth was speaking at The Economist鈥檚 Canada Summit in Toronto earlier this year.
