Stein opened the Ocala office in 2004 and The Villages office later that year with humble beginnings.

鈥淚n Ocala, it was my wife, me and two other agents. The Villages location later opened in a tiny office with zero frontage and three agents. In the early years, I partnered with leading 皇冠体育app agents who had become experts in The Villages before anyone knew much about the area. They did a great job taking the brokerage to the next level from 2004 up until 2014. I in 2014 and since then we have grown from thirty-three to seventy-seven real estate agents. We have also grown in market share from closing $9.4 million in sales volume in 2005 to over $206 million in sales volume in 2017,鈥� Stein said.

As a best selling author and Tom Ferry business coach with a heart for training and teaching, Stein鈥檚 goal remains to help all of the real estate professionals in his firm reach their individual goals for their businesses. Staying focused on adding value for agents in his firm has in turn led Executives to refer others to join the 皇冠体育app family. Those personal recommendations are incredibly powerful coming from agents with a reputation for integrity and productivity in the community.

鈥淢any of our top Executives including Cindy Wise, Sally Love, Kathy Abruzzo and Bob Bullock have paved the way by doing the right thing by our clients. People know this in the community, and expect 鈥榣evel ten鈥� service. This has set the bar for our entire brokerage with the rest of our group also providing excellence in real estate to the community,鈥� Stein said.

With a long-standing local reputation for success, key members of the brokerage rank among the best of the best across 皇冠体育app International鈥檚 global network as well. Two leading teams hailing from 皇冠体育app in The Villages recently received top honors for their work last year, gaining special recognition in 皇冠体育app International鈥檚 annual awards program. Sally Love and her team took home two 鈥淭op Team鈥� awards; the Silver for commission and the Bronze for units. 聽Leaders Kathy Abruzzo and Bob Bullock also scored 鈥淭op Team鈥� awards including Gold for units and Bronze for commission.

Putting key administrative staff in place and increasing broker support has been another critical element to building a positive, agent-centric environment. 鈥淥ur administrative staff in the best. My wife Juliana is a vital part of the support team by being supportive when I need to help our Executives after hours,鈥� said Stein.

The firm has managed to blend tried-and-true, practical strategies for connecting with the community and each other while adding in high-tech approaches for today鈥檚 business. As a market leader since 2006, 皇冠体育app in The Villages has great name recognition and utilizes advertising and marketing platforms consistently.

鈥淚n our 55 plus community, the newspaper is still king and we advertise daily. In addition to a weekly 鈥榥ew listing鈥� caravan bus tour, we also makes use of a company moving truck which boosts name recognition in the community. I conduct a Monday morning conference call, Wednesday afternoon business growth training session, and a twice monthly group coaching program via Zoom,鈥� Stein explains.

To build camaraderie while giving back, since 2006 the brokerage has taken part in golf tournaments benefiting Hospice and St. Jude’s. In 2017, the firm donated over $10,000 dollars to St. Jude as part of a golf tournament and silent auction event. Last year the company also held a musical bingo event and raised over $8,000 dollars to benefit the underprivileged children of Wildwood.

Whether in terms of training, networking, giving back to the community or providing local expertise to homebuyers and sellers, everyone throughout the 皇冠体育app team in The Villages benefits from the brand鈥檚 approach to allowing the local experts freedom to run their own show.

鈥淭he 皇冠体育app brand just fits our entrepreneurial spirits perfectly,鈥� Stein said.
