Office Pen Pals

On Wednesday December 17th the office hosted the Partners in Education Christmas Kickoff Meeting. Each year, several agents and office staff become Pen Pals with students in the 4th grade at Monfort Heights Elementary. Jack Schrand is heading up this year's program and he organized the meet-n-greet with the students. We provided the students with cookies and pop, presented them with Christmas cards and gave them a tour of the building.

A special thanks to Jack Schrand, Gail Schrand, Tom Sturm, Kim Schaefer, Missy Yerger, Mark Whitworth, Sandy Stephens, Dave Harcourt, Tonyia Cormican, Wilma Christophel, Tim Hamblin, Steve Oyler, Susan Miller, Vicky Johnston, Keisha Byndon, Kathy Deutsch, JoAnn D'Angelo, Michelle Barnett, Molly Decker, Charity Foster and Joyce Baird for taking the time to participate in the Pen Pals Program.

Spirit of the Season


Sheri Mapes, Diane Spangenberg and Vickie Francis would like to THANK everyone for your support in donating items to the Child Life Department of Children's Hospital along with all the items collected for our "Adopt-A-Family". 100% of the items that were on the office Christmas tree were donated. What a wonderful Christmas that family will have thanks to your support! Along with all the donated items to the Child Life Department, the office presented Lisa Hall and Cathy Westrich a check in the amount of $525.00 at our Sales Rally. If that wasn't enough, the agents in the office presented Steve Oyler a check in the amount of $310.00 to be donated to the Child Life Department in his name!
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of others!

Automated Web Listing Distribution Flyer


The Marketing Department has put together a single page flyer that communicates the power of our automated web distribution. This piece does several things:


  • Maps in a flowchart form how our listings get from MLS, to our online partnerships and then back through LeadRouter
  • Includes rough timelines (color-coded) on how long this feed process can take
  • Demonstrates that LeadRouter is our competitive advantage by being tied to the culmination point for leads
  • Designed to be used as a companion piece to the Internet Marketing Strategy Flyer
  • Designed to be used as a recruitment piece
  • Designed to be used with sellers

The flyer will make it easier for you to convey just part of our services that we provide to differentiate our sellers from the rest of the market. As you know, what make this even more powerful, is our ability to capture the buyers through LeadRouter. When buyers are at a premium, this continues to prove even more valuable.

The flyer is located in Virtual Office under Forms Online for you to print
