Welcome back to the SURE Sales Group
show episode 55 and we just were
featured on another podcast with Lars
Hedenborg the Business Freedom
Podcast here on the show we talk about
real estate sales negotiation marketing
entrepreneurship buying selling renting
investing and what it's taken us to grow
from two employees to 20 from 30 million
in sales to a hundred thirty million in
sales in the last few years thanks for
watching so our whole episode of the
business freedom podcast will be here in
a youtube link below where we were
invited to be a guest my partner Joe
Sachetti and I hopped on he was down in
Florida I was down in Bethany Beach or
Fenwick Island Delaware and we were able
to conference call and talk about some
of our growth that we've experienced
here in 2018 so one other quick update
is the Wall Street Journal's real trends
list was just released and this is kind
of a big to-do in the real estate
industry and it takes every team and
every agent regardless of brokerage they
say who did what who should we recognize
as some of the top players in the
country
so it doesn't matter if you're Remax or
Keller Williams or wherever you're gonna
be on this list and if you make the list
it's a big honor so we were actually on
it for not only sales numbers like units
number of homes sold but also sales
volume like the dollar amount of real
estate sold so we're really pumped
around here just wanted to share that
with you so for 2018 s list which
reflects what we did last year the
sure-grip was a hundred and twelfth in
the country so only a hundred and eleven
teams did more than we did you know Ryan
Serhant and Frederick and all the
million dollar listings they're on the
list so we're really proud to be 112th
with four hundred and forty one homes
sold in 2017 and then we were two
hundred and thirty fifth for sales
volume so we sold one hundred and twenty
eight million in change in 2017 and our
goal here the SURE Group is to grow and
get to 1,000 units in a calendar year
and then you know with the averages this
will be up quite a bit too so check out
the podcast and the one thing I just
realized was every year we've been
featured on some kind of podcast a lot
of time there's a video component if you
want to check it out but in 2015 this is
right when the SURE Group kind of got
started it's crazy to think we've
accomplished a lot because this team
didn't even exist in 2014 so and
actually no that was the year we created
it so in 2014 the last four years we've
had some good strides some good growth
and that's because you know Joe has been
excellent we've worked so hard but we
have an awesome team we have 14 agents
who work their butt off every single one
of them is an absolute rockstar we don't
take any super new green people we just
develop people who are already awesome
so shout out to the SURE Group team
because god knows i didn't sell that
many and no individual does it's a team
effort with unity and all that
good stuff but anyway if you want to see
a flashback to what we were doing in
2015 it's funny the interview says maybe
I think we did like 75 deals that year
probably more but something like that
then we were on Pat Hiban Interviews
Real Estate Rockstars and this was in
2016 and that year I think we're gonna
300 or something and then in 2017 we
were on the Elite Real Estate Systems
podcast with Jeff Cohn and then now this
is the most latest one the business
freedom podcast we just recorded earlier
this summer so it's funny to watch the
growth and look back and see where we
were and where we're going so I hope you
enjoy it you want to stick around and
watch that podcast episode we'd be
honored thanks for tuning in
oh by the way if you're not super
familiar with podcasts or what they are

iPhone has a little purple podcast thing

listen to or you can see I have some my
motivation stuff a lot of real estate
stuff

unbelievable amount of content on any
subject there's Harvard Business Review

history is a great podcast that talks
all about different topics throughout
history in a really cool fun way check
outs podcasts if you're driving around
or if you spend any time in the car on a
commute

good podcast
