Teachers do well in real estate sales. Find out why…

May 14, 2012

0 Comments

If you are a teacher looking at a new career, you might be surprised to hear that teachers have a proven track record in real estate sales.  How could that be? Sales and Teaching are so different.  Well, not really, at least in real estate sales.

Selling & buying real estate is a complex and emotional process for both the buyer and seller.  The real estate agent’s job is to guide them through the home buying or selling process, essentially teaching or educating them about each step. They need help navigating through the process – similar to how students need help navigating a new subject. Home buyers and sellers have questions – the real estate agent provides the answers in a way that is understood by a layperson.  The real estate agent needs to show patience and understanding in trying to help the home seller or buyer achieve their goal. Just like a teacher needs to show patience and find a way to help each student achieve their learning goal.  The similarities are many.

First Weber Group provides many support systems to assist our agents in achieving success such as:

Assistance in getting state required real estate license
On-going education on real estate issues
Full-Time Management support
Legal assistance, if needed
National Relocation referral opportunities
Concierge department
High-tech multi media marketing for every listing
Technology Training
Print & electronic marketing materials
Custom Main Street system for client followup, prospecting & managing your business
A personal website
Co-op advertising
Award winning website firstweber.com
Internet call/lead center to generate business
Statewide network of over 50 offices & 1500 professionals
Convenient office locations in the metro Milwaukee area

Getting your Wisconsin real estate licence:
You understand the value of education so studying to get your real estate license should be old hat to you. First Weber Group can help you get your real estate license with internet and self study options allowing you the freedom to complete the required courses when it is most convenient for you. First Weber also provides excellent post-license training in an on-demand video format allowing you to watch at your own speed, as often as you like, with a track provided for guidance.

For those of you who prefer to learn in a classroom setting, we offer that, too!

A good sales person doesn’t hard-sell people. They have the heart of a teacher, gaining trust and results through listening and helping others understand so they can make their own informed decision.

First Weber Gives back to local communities

May 2, 2012

A Culture  of Giving

Giving is a large part of the First Weber culture, as evidenced by the formation of the First Weber Foundation in 2005 which, since inception, has donated over $600,000 to a variety of Wisconsin charities.  Our offices get involved in a wide variety of charities and community service projects and here are just a few recent examples we’d like to share.

 

Souper Tuesdays for the Berlin Food Pantry

This spring, members of First Weber’s Berlin office took turns making soup for lunch, calling their community service project “Souper Tuesdays”. Each week, 2 people made soup and dessert and collected $5 from everyone. A cookbook sale also added to the total. To date, a total of $325.00 was raised to donate to the Berlin Food Pantry. That amount will be matched through the Feinstein Challenge. Alan Shawn Feinstein has pledged $1,000,000 to communities that raise money or collect canned foods from March 1st thru April 30th. There is a minimum of $250 and a maximum of $35,000 that can be collected thru his organization.

Attached is a photo of the check presentation.

Nice job, Berlin gang!

 

Volunteering at the Samaritan House of Marshfield

The entire Marshfield office recently volunteered at the Samaritan House of Marshfield’s weekly dinner for the less fortunate. Provided were desserts, juice and milk and the office also assisted in preparing, serving and cleaning up after the meal. Everyone enjoyed the experience so much they are planning on going back at least once per quarter.

 

First Weber Group believes it is important to get involved in local causes to make a difference, get to know people and simply help out.  We hope you enjoyed learning just a little about First Weber agents doing good deeds. When you need a Wisconsin real estate broker, why not work with one who is involved in the community.  Thanks for reading the First Weber Wisconsin real estate & Wisconsin living blog.

Power Broker Report: First Weber Group ranks 24 in the nation & #1 in Wisconsin

April 26, 2012

0 Comments

Thank you!  We could not have achieved such national rankings nor be the top independent broker in Wisconsin without the hard work of all the First Weber agents and their loyal buyers and sellers.   It is always a wonderful feeling to see these reports and see that per the RIS Media Power Broker Report, we are the 24th most productive real estate broker in the nation.  First Weber Group has such a family-like atmosphere that sometimes is it easy to forget we are such a large company.  This award is the result of the year-long efforts of many and we could not have done it without all of you.
