Part 6 of 10... Don't lose your sense of humor

As Realtors, we sometime need a good laugh to get us through challenging times.
Take a "2 minute timeout" to watch this video. You'll certainly appreciate it.




Have a great day!

See you on the road.

As most of you know by now, Coldwell Banker Select was chosen to be a United Way Trailblazer company. Only 15 companies were chosen to be Trailblazers this year, so it is quite an honor for us.

Last week, during the kickoff, the Trailblazer companies announced our goal of $3,026,440. Although our company goal is only a small part of that, our commitment to United Way has a big impact on our community.
So as we run our office campaigns this month, just remember, every little bit helps!

PS-I am sorry to disappoint, but I did not participate in the run due to it being 106'!! You can come see me at the Susan Komen "Race for the Cure" in September. :)

See you on the road.

The Coldwell Banker Sales Rally for 2010 was a huge success!!

It was my pleasure to offer up Coldwell Banker Select as the host company for all of Oklahoma, so hats off to all that pitched in to make it a great event.

Jim Gillespie and Mike Fischer both made dynamic presentations about what is going on in the real estate industry and what cutting edge technologies Coldwell Banker is in process of developing.

I ran into Trey Hamra this morning and he commented that he was running out this week to purchase a video camera and begin experimenting with video marketing with his listings.

Also, it gave me great pride to see all the video clips from Fox News, CNBC, etc. with our own corporate President Jim Gillespie sending positive messages about our industry.

Thanks again for all those that attended, I hope you found it as motivating as I did.

See you on the road!

This week, Steve Meltzer of the Coldwell Banker Select specialty office "CB URBAN" announced the project "119 Downtown".


Downtown Tulsa has been a roll lately with the BOK Center, the ONEOK Baseball Stadium, and the Blue Dome District and this project will only add the growth that they have been experiencing. Our CB Urban office on Cherry Street has been the pipeline to the downtown lifestyle, specializing in "loft apartments" primarily, but our commitment as a real estate company to the downtown area made us a logical partner for the project.

Steve Meltzer has put together a sales team of specialist that are the exclusive marketers of this project and stand ready to assist you and your clients in learning about downtown living.

This week’s entry is all about the Land and Ranch Division
of Coldwell Banker Select. Being a
state-wide brokerage with offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and our Sister
company, Van Meter Select in Durant, no other company in the State of Oklahoma
is better positioned to take care of our client’s land and ranch needs.

Our Land and Ranch Division is coordinated by Greg Ganzkow (of
the G7 Ranches fame) that takes his expertise in this niche business that has
resulted in making Coldwell Banker Select the premiere land and ranch experts
for the State of Oklahoma.

Earlier this month, Greg hosted a group of Realtors and Clients for
a Kentucky Derby watch party at Leon’s on Brookside that was attended by
approximately 30 people. A great time was had by all and really made a huge
impression to our clients on just how serious Coldwell Banker is about catering
to the land and ranch business.

“Hats off” to Greg for running a great Land and Ranch
Division!

See you on the road….

Romona Ellison of Sand Springs Presented Key to the City

One of the best things about working at Coldwell Banker Select is getting to work with some really awesome people. I want to take this week's blog to tell you about one of them. Last week, Romona Ellison of our Sand Springs office was present with a Key to the City and proclaimed the "Hometown Hero" for 2010.

I have had the honor of knowing Romona for over 25 as an agent for Terry Gartside, Realtors and now as a proud agent for Coldwell Banker. She is such a dynamic and giving person that always puts the needs of her clients over her own. Over the last 43 years of selling real estate, she has always been a top producer closing hundreds of transactions over the years.

Next time you see Romona, be sure to congratulate her on her award. We are so proud to have her as part of our team!

Have a great weekend!

Being big is no big deal, being best is…

This is common phrase we hear a lot at Coldwell Banker Select and it’s true. As the owners and managers work hard to give you the best tools and training available for you to use, our goal is always to give excellent representation to our clients and provide agents a stellar marketing plan to list and sell houses.

But…… There comes a time to take brief timeout when you hit a goal that is really worth stopping to let out a big “WHOO HOO”!

Well, let me be the first to let out a huge Coldwell Banker WOO HOO!

Out of the thousands of real estate brokers in the United States, Coldwell Banker Select has officially cracked the top 50 at, ironically, #50!

So hats off to Sam, Terry, and everyone at Coldwell Banker Select. You are part of a very special team of Realtors.

Being big no big deal, but being the best gets you there. And we thank you helping us get there!

Congrats Sam and Terry…

See you on the road.
