Q1 Update: 2012 is off to a very good start!

by Donald_Kent on May 9, 2012

Cheers to the DMB Realty Network Team! Q1 2012 is behind us, spring is in the air, the temperature in the Valley is already in the triple-digits and expectations for our industry are positive. Life is good … and getting better.

We have all seen the reports, the news and feel the energy in the air. We are cautiously optimistic, but excited by what is happening in our industry and especially in our market. We are thrilled to announce that Q1 2012 sales have surpassed expectations. We haven’t seen this type of activity since early 2007.

In 2011 at Verrado in Buckeye, Arizona, we averaged a sale every three days, in the first quarter of this year that has increased to an average of a sale every other day – that doesn’t happen unless the team understands the Community, the Market and the Buyer. Our Brokerage Operations in Scottsdale’s prestigious communities of Silverleaf and DC Ranch, and Flagstaff’s Forest Highlands, have experienced double-digit increases in sales activity over prior years.

Our Client’s attribute our success to our community-centric sales approach:

DMB Realty Network is our partner; they are an extension of Forest Highlands. Their commitment to the community and understanding of the lifestyle has been key to the continued real estate health of our community,” says Larry Appleby, General Manager / Chief Operating Officer of Forest Highlands Home Owners Association.

Over the course of the past several years we have developed an approach to evaluation and direct marketing that allows us to find and motivate buyers for the communities we represent … our approach and processes are what helps ensure our success, but it is our team that has worked to perfect the methods and processes we employ and executes them seamlessly.

Naturally, we have our Clients to thank for their trust and for their commitment to achieving results. However, as the leader of DMB Realty Network, I give credit to our team of talented and dedicated professionals who possess expertise in a range of disciplines and specialize in luxury and lifestyle.

I invite you to meet our management team, download our newest White Paper: Eye on the Team and gain some insight on the importance of teamwork, expertise, and experience.

In addition to sales success in Q1 2012, DMB Realty Network has expanded our current client base to include projects from the coast of Southern California, working with The Strand at Headlands in Dana Point, California to San Jose, Costa Rica where we are working with a premier Builder / Developer to help position a niche-Community on the international stage.

We are seeing that Developers and Builders alike, throughout the Americas, are encouraged by the more positive trends the industry is seeing. Our team is in talks with Developers throughout the Western United States and North and Central America to help prepare for what comes next.

The outlook is very positive; spring has sprung.

I invite you to contact me and learn more about the methods and processes we employ for lead generation, tactical marketing and of course … sales.

What do they [...]
