Buyer Needs a Home

​St Charles Agents,

I have an approved buyer that is looking for a nice home with a 3+ car garage and 4+ BR in the Warren, Castlio, or Independence elementary schools. They would like a decent back yard as they have 2 small children and they are looking up to $350,000. We have a contract on their home and we need to find their new home. Please let me know if you have something coming soon or ready for us to see.

thanks

Dedication in O’Fallon

Great afternoon to play hooky from work and be outside, but just caught a photo of a group of my busy, good looking, dedicated agents at the computers working for their clients. Jim

Kind words of appreciation

I enjoy reading the surveys I receive on our agents. It shows what a great group we have and that our clients appreciate hard work. .

Last week, I received an email from Bruce T. about Kim McClintock that stated, “The reason I would jump through hoops for Kim McClintock is because Kim McClintock jumped through hoops for me. She is the most dedicated, professional, hard working realtor I have dealt with and gets things done! I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house in the Saint Louis marketplace… It is because of her assistance that I am now on track to pursuing my new life!” That is a great testimonial.

It is also encouraging when clients state that they already have already referred an agent’s name to friends as Kevin and Denise stated about Betty Urban. Referrals are what it is all about.

Finally, Dave and Nicole stated that they consider Tita Pascoe, not only a friend, “but now part of their family”. Now that is getting close to clients.

All three of these ladies should be commended for their work. Jim

The nice column

Cool comments during some hot days!

One of the nice things about being Branch Manager is when I get to brag about our agents. And it is even more fun, when the community supply the kudos that I get to share. Last week, while the temp was 105 degrees outside, I received these cool written comments about your colleagues in the office. Rather than just read these at our office meeting, I thought I would share these written comments with the whole office.

So what did their clients have to say about our friends last week…….

“Kim is an excellent agent and our experience of buying a home (was) wonderful. We now consider her a good friend”.

“Prudential is most fortunate to have Betty and Pat on their team and as representatives.”

“I would recommend Tita to anyone I know looking to sell their home or to buy a new one.”

“I would recommend Angie to friends and family.”

Thanks to Kim, Pat, Betty, Tita and Angie for assisting these clients and making it a fun and pleasant experience. The proof is in the comments. The proof is in our agents.

Good news/Bad News to the 5th degree

Talk about your good news, bad news week……

Good news is that I got to attend yesterday’s NCAA Midwest Final.

The bad news is that I was surrounded with Jayhawk fans. Nothing like listening to the “Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk” victory chant.

Great news is that I have the privilege to accompany my dad to WashingtonD.C. tomorrow on his Honor Flight to the World War II monument and other special honors for the WWII vets from St. Louis.

Bad news is that we have to be at the airport at 3:45am.

Good news is that Katie Otto from Maris will be our guest speaker at our meeting tomorrow.

The bad news is that I will miss the meeting.

Good news is that Kim and Karen are running the meeting.

The really bad news is that I’m still remembering that I had to sit thru an entire basketball game with Jayhawk fans. And remembering the Mizzou upset of a week ago.

The good news is that the Kansas fans left town.

There can be no bad news with that information.

Just knowing that, I’m leaving tomorrow for D.C. on a good noteJ Jim

St. Charles County stats

Attended meeting this morning with members of the EconomicDevelopmentCenter as guest speakers. St. CharlesCounty unemployment now stands at 6.5% in Jan. While still leaving many families hurting, it has dropped over the last few months and ranks below the State, metropolitan and national averages. The 2011 retail spending in the County also approached the pre-recession levels. So a few points to reinforce that the economy in the county is starting to respond in a positive direction.

EDC continuing to encourage start up of small businesses. Typical 504 Loan Structure is Lender 50%, SBA (Small Business Association) 40% and Borrower 10%. Happy to share with you contacts and information if you have clients who are talking about starting a business or expanding the business.
