This is the time of year where things have slowed down a tad bit in real estate but where I am still very busy wrapping up all of the end of year things, such as reviewing and cleaning up my escrow account, preparing Owner’s Policies, mailing out recorded Deeds and closing files.
As I mentioned at our monthly meeting, we had our busiest quarter ever in October, November and December of last year which is thanks to all of the agents and attorneys who support the title company.
AND as a REMINDER of my out-of-state training in Lansdale, PA which takes place Friday, March 16th through Monday, March 19th, I will not have access to e-mail or any of my files during this time. Unless notified in advance, I will NOT be able to conduct business or closings on Friday the 16th, Monday the 19th and a good portion of Tuesday the 20th. Future e-mails will go out to all the agents and attorneys regarding these dates.

I will be out of the office next week (the week of February 20th) and will be returning on Monday, February 27th. I will be going to NC to help Jenn, her husband, and baby Lucas get settled into their new home at Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville. I will be processing closings while I am gone. Please keep in mind that no closings will be processed on Monday as it is a bank holiday.
Reminders:
Realtor.com payments for 2012 are due today, February 17th. If you have not yet made this payment, please let Dan or myself know when we can expect to receive the payment. If you are not sure of your payment level, please let me know.
February monthly bills will be emailed to you next Wednesday, February 22nd. Please note that there will be a slight increase in your ad fund of $25 monthly to a technology fund which is now $40 per month.
2011 Expense statements are available for you and/or your accountant. Please let me know if you’d like to pick up the report or have it emailed to you.

First Thing Every Morning |
| If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400 – with no balance carried from day to day – what would you do? Well, you do have such a bank…time.Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off as “lost” whatever you have failed to use toward good purposes. It carries over no balances and allows no overdrafts. You can’t hoard it, save it, store it, loan it or invest it. You can only use it – time. |

For all the things that move you:

What moves someone to buy or sell a home? Four new RE/MAX TV ads depict life-changing moments that spark a move — and reinforce the message that RE/MAX agents can help in any situation.
Here, weeks before it debuts on national TV, is one of the new commercials: “Anthem.” You can embed the video on your website or blog, or share it via social media and show it to clients and your sphere.
The 2012 RE/MAX advertising campaign, “For All the Things That Move You,” centers on the pivotal life moments – a marriage proposal, a new baby, a student leaving home for college – that drive the decision to buy or sell a home.
The four new TV ads will appear in 15- and 30-second versions on major network and cable programming. In a fifth, 30-second TV ad in the U.S., RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly thanks buyers and sellers for helping RE/MAX earn its two trophies from J.D. Power and Associates. That ad debuted in December during the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship on ESPN.
Web, radio, print and outdoor ads, which will vary in exposure from region to region, will complement the TV ads and reinforce the campaign’s message. The national radio spots, which include RE/MAX ads during the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl, feature the new messaging, too.
Customizable Design Center resources will be available in March, after RE/MAX R4.

CCIM’s Next President? He’s With RE/MAX!

in Why REMAX?
If you don’t know who Wayne D’Amicois, you’re about to see a whole lot of him in the next two years – especially if you’re a commercial real estate broker.
D’Amico, who returned to RE/MAX after being an independent commercial broker for over 15 years, is President-Elect of the CCIM Institute. He’s the fourth RE/MAX Commercial broker to assume the prestigious leadership role, preceded by Richard Juge of RE/MAX Commercial Brokers in Metairie, La. (2009), the late Tim Hatlestad of RE/MAX Commercial Investment in Scottsdale, Ariz. (2007), and Bob Behrens of RE/MAX Commercial Services in Denver (2004).
Early in his career, D’Amico worked with RE/MAX when the brand’s commercial division was in its infancy. He most recently was president and principal of Property Politics, a real estate development and advisory firm. Last fall, he began mulling over his options to align with a major real estate brand to extend his reach even further.
He gave RE/MAX another look, and he liked what he saw in Broker/Owner Jeff Wright and RE/MAX Right Choice in Trumbull, Conn. He rejoined the network in January.
“RE/MAX Commercial has become a strong player among national real estate franchises in the commercial realm,” says D’Amico, Senior Managing Director of RE/MAX Right Choice Commercial & Investment. “I had a lot of conversations with the network’s top commercial producers from around the country and the regional leadership, and I quickly realized that RE/MAX is dedicated to growing its Commercial Division. I knew I wanted to be a part of that.”
With 25 years of experience and over $300 million in commercial projects to his credit, D’Amico brings substantial expertise to the table that will help recruit top talent to RE/MAX Right Choice’s commercial organization. He’s also eager to help RE/MAX Commercial achieve its goal of earning a spot in the Top 10 in the National Real Estate Investor magazine’s national list of the Top 25 Commercial Brokerage Networks.
“It’s sometimes hard to find people who think like you and share your drive; that’s why I’ve been an independent broker for so long,” D’Amico says. “But joining Jeff’s office allows me to take what I’ve done and connect it to the right international opportunity – the RE/MAX brand – and to a group of reputable top producers.”
As a self-professed “deal junkie” who can’t resist the challenges of complex commercial transactions, D’Amico says he’s never been a “traditional brokerage guy.” He likes to mix things up by doing valuations, tax appeals and consulting projects.
“I admit, I’m a bit of an analytical geek; most people run in the opposite direction from the complicated stuff,” D’Amico says. “But I believe that a diversified practice with the right brokerage formula offers the greatest financial reward in the long run.”
