I did a thing! Or maybe it should say we? - No ‘I’ in Team, right?

I did a thing!  Or maybe it should say we? - No ‘I’ in Team, right?

 

Some of you have heard or seen in TOWN magazine and a few other places I market, or that know me well, learned that I have joined the Furman Group in our company.  There are 3 of us: Patrick Furman, Samantha Snyder, and myself. 

 

As I have told friends and clients, Patrick and I have been working together as the New Development Team for Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty for the better part of 2 years.  He and Samantha have been a team on their own outside of the New Developments.  Well, all of our business has grown, and we all had been sounding boards for each other at times, helped cover some showings or things when one was pulled in too many directions, among other tasks.

 

We all want to continue to grow our business, reach, and especially our service to clients.  We all work well together, get along well, give each other a hard time (all in good fun), and enjoy being around one another. 

 

So as you see things from me that are branded “Furman Group,”  yes, I am still in the same amazing Sotheby’s International Realty affiliate, with Joan still being our company principal and fearless leader.  Now, whenever a client is working with myself, Patrick, or Samantha – they get 3 sharp agents for the price of one.

The Network A few weeks ago I went to a Sotheby’s international Realty networking event called the Ski NE. One of our brokers in charge and I were supposed to go to a different event out west back in the fall, but a goose hitting the plane pretty much derailed that whole trip. So we were going on the next one that would work for our schedules, which to both of our liking was out in Big Sky Montana, a skiing and networking event. We wanted to make sure that we didn't end up with something like the previous trip affecting this one, so we safely book ended travel days on it, and to include an additional ski day for us. After day one of skiing, we met up with our Sotheby’s group that evening and enjoyed a happy hour and mixer. From the beginning of that happy hour to the end of the event, I met about 150 different Sotheby’s International Realty agents in markets other than the upstate of SC. From Telluride, Lake Tahoe, Scottsdale, all the way up the California coast and around Seattle, Montana, Boston, and down in Orlando with smatterings in between. They were of course valuable takeaways from different panels, and different conversations with individual agents over the days there, but it was interesting and reassuring to see how high the standard for Sotheby's International Realty is everywhere. The small world experience of it is I was sitting next to an agent I had been emailing with in Boston, regarding an upcoming listing, and here we were sitting next to each other at Sushi restaurant at the town center in Big Sky, Montana!  I also spoke about the Upstate of South Carolina market to that group, who some had no idea about what all Greenville in the surrounding areas have to offer. If you could live and work anywhere, why not here!? Great experience, great people, amazing network!

Hi all, So I get asked a lot of questions from friends, clients, and just people who know that I am an agent about various topics and things that come up in real estate. Whether it is: do you know a good lender? What do you think of this market?, or just an interesting feature or funny home showing experience, I am going to post about them here periodically. I am going to aim for a biweekly post, whether long or short. So be on the lookout, and I will also have a link in my monthly e-newsletter to it. I am going to start with something short on the lighter side: I was on a listing appointment sitting down with the sellers talking through the details, and what was being conveyed with the home and property. There is a private stocked pond on this one with a handful of ducks, and on the list of items that convey, will be those ducks. They aren't basing any future home purchase on the livelihood of their feathered friends, and want to make sure the future owners know those guys will be long lived "guardians of
