Testimonial by Agent Katherine D. Forno, RSPI Leesburg Office

 

Where do I begin!  I am honored to be part of the RE/MAX Select family for many reasons.  From the accessibility and knowledge of my wonderful Brokers 24/7, answering my many questions.  The great agents that make up the office and internal opportunities where we can talk about different topics; the educational and networking opportunities.  It is an office that really cares how we as agents do and that strives to help us be successful.  The office staff is excellent and professionalism exudes!  I wouldn't want to be anywhere else and I thank you for the opportunity to convey this.
Here's what I like:  All of our agents are experienced.  They've been in the business a long time and I can tell this to my clients when listing a house or dealing with them on a contract on our listings.  Our broker get rid of agents that don't follow the rules.  We have seen them do this over the years and I really like this.  You don't keep around people that can cause you a lot of grief legally, but for me, I don't have to be worried about being associated with a bad agent.  You keep the producing agents - not the non producing ones, that also makes us more valuable as a company to our marketplace.  Phyllis and Jim have been in the business a long time, they feel solid, they have been through many markets, they are not going anywhere.
They offer health insurance.  I love that!

Testimonial by Agent Jim Hartung, Sterling Office
Having been an agent with RE/MAX Select Properties for 20 years, I know that this company does everything it can to help its agents.  The monthly training and market analysis is very helpful in dealing with today's changing market.  The agents who work in the office are highly motivated to serve their clients and to uphold the company's ethical standards.  The office staff is cordial and willing to assist every agent.  Jim and Phyllis Stakem care about their business, their agents and their clients.  It's a great place to work!

Testimonial by Agents Mary and John Sleeter, Leesburg Office
Phyllis and Jim take their jobs as brokers and owners very seriously. They make sure we are aware of the new laws, new problems and how to protect ourselves; any new changes to the contract, and just keeping their agents up to date on everything so we can be the very best agents we can be for our clients and also keeping us out of trouble.  They both have the gift of making us feel as a large family.  We are very happy with our discussion to become a Select agent and wish we had done it sooner.  Thank you!

We have 2 Broker/Owners that make themselves available at all times. They are hands on Brokers.  2 is better than 1.  Jim & Phyllis run a first rate company.  They are on top of the current market and keep us well informed.  Our meetings are educational and not a waste of time.  We have constant training to help our business.  We are encouraged to network and have events such as our wine and cheese night.  We have access to 3 different offices:  Leesburg, Ashburn and Sterling.  All of the offices have a very helpful staff.  We are affiliated with an excellent settlement company, Consumers First Settlements, which I liked before I became an agent for Select Properties.  You just can't ask for much more.

Testimonial by Agent Janean Buchner, Ashburn Office
I love the management style of the brokers and personally, it's a great fit for me.  I appreciate their experience, and commitment to help their agents when they need help.  They stay in tune with current trends.  It is a professional environment.  Their compensation plan is very fair and competitive.  Working here, you have the RE/MAX brand behind you and all of the training opportunities and benefits of working for the #1 company!

Testimonial by Agent Glorianne Schultz, Sterling Office
I like the market/share/presence in the community.  Great agents who like what they do and care about their clients.  It is a pleasant work environment.  An environment that's always challenging me to be better and more effective.  Worthwhile and useful training classes.  Convenient office locations, a supportive staff, easy accessibility to brokers and agents who help each other.

Testimonial by Agent Laura Walsh, Leesburg Office
I am totally impressed with the genuine interest in my career progression, as well as the availability of tools and support to make by goals reality.  I also think the County-Wide coverage of the three offices alleviates a seller's concern about their listing agent being a "neighborhood" agent.  I appreciate the RE/MAX system and its global recognition.  Lastly, strong, ethical, experienced brokers who have weathered all types of markets and bring that insight to their agents, but who are also still curious and enthusiastic about real estate and continually funnel fresh, smart ideas to us as well.
