May 2016 – Sales Meeting Recap

What a great day to be a Rector Hayden REALTOR!

 

This month’s meeting had a lot to offer!  From Rector Hayden Mortgage Tips, to upcomming listing networking, to the Halfhill Auction Group’s live demonstration, and a Best Practices session on handling Inspections correctly – we covered quite a bit!  Besides raising over $3k for the American Diabetes Association ( WOOHOO!  –  Read More Here… ) Rector Hayden agents discussed the best legal practices of helping buyers and sellers handle the inspection and negotiation process of a transaction.

In this whirlwind market, our agents are seeing more and more of their peers attempting to cut corners and not play by the rules.  However, Rector Hayden REALTORS stand strong with integrity and the knowledge to take care of our clients by-the-book.  This is proven in our discussion today where – as a team – Rector Hayden agents discussed the best ways to handle issues when it comes to inspections, return periods, addendums, and agents attempting verbal negotiations.  We’re honored to work with such dedicated and educated Realtors.

Our goal as a team for the American Diabetes Association: Step Out to Stop Diabetes Fundraiser is about $7500 dollars (about 3% of the Lexington, KY goal).  And, thanks to the gracious donors, the initiative taken by our agent John Sanders, the awesome Halfhill Auction Team, and Rector Hayden Relocation Director – Whitney Baxter – WE MADE IT HALFWAY TO OUR GOAL!  We received $2400 in donations from our auction this morning.  The rest came in through cash donations and pledges.

Best Practices: How to Handle Inspections

A new series that Rector Hayden is endeavoring to do is a discussion based class to brainstorm the best ways to handle different situations in transactions.  This month, agent Karen Burns led the discussion on Inspections.  It was a great opportunity to talk about issues agents face with timing, requirements, legal documents, and best practices to serve your clients.  As a team, agents discussed their own personal experiences and follies and together we learned from our mistakes and successes.  Integrity and Ethics are core values of being a part of the Rector Hayden team, and through our very successful meeting today we empowered our agents to continue to exemplify those values.

Notes from Agents…
John Sanders invites agents and staff to take part in the American Diabetes Association’s event  Step-out Walk on May 30th at Keeneland 1.5 mile route, pets are welcome.
  • John Sanders, REALTOR jls@rhr.com
    • A message from John: I  originally got involved in 2005 because of my Father-in-Law. He was a double amputee and did dialysis for several years before he passed as a result of Type 2 Diabetes. He played college football on the 1951 national championship team at Tennessee. It was hard to watch him decline as he did, but he kept a strong spirit through it all. This has always been my motivation in fighting for this cause, and I hope to put together a team here at Rector Hayden. If anyone is interested in joining the fight I would greatly appreciate the support. There are many families that are affected by Diabetes, but it is a battle that can be won. I know many of the people here are at work for different causes, and are great servants for those causes. Please let me know if you would be willing to join up and I will forward more information as it becomes available
