Awards 2009

Friday Morning, What a week. Numerous award winners, Announcement of CBKT mergers, this CRAZY contest, and last night the CBR Talent Show.

This past Tuesday Mar 10 many of us attended the award ceremony at COSI. I knew we had winners in our office, but I think we took them all by suprise.
Because of everyone of our agents, the Newark/Granville CBKT office was
NUMBER 4 in the Nation for closed sides with offices with 1-35 agents. Folks that right there is something that all of you can be very proud of.
We also won 2 very prestigous awards

The first award; The Community Service Award given to Herman England

The second: The Jerry White Award given to Patrick Guanciale

There were MANY more winners and I will post all those at a later date so don't think I forgot!! :)

Our "balloon" display was OK but not quite what I had in mind because of the drafts in the building. Sometimes our balloons were laying on our table!! Oh well, at least they know who we are and just think, you didn't have to dress up as Bowling Pins!!!! (I'll try that one again for another function)

Here is our display at the Awards meeting. The first one to tell Karen who the masked man is behind the placards gets 1 point for their team.

The Contest you ask?? Well earlier this week the " Blue Team" was way ahead. Then all of a sudden one of the Big Horses for the "White Team" got out of the gate and he is running like a

Kentucky Derby Winner!! WOW it is getting close.

Good luck to all.

Kickin It 2009

Today was a big day for CBKT Newark/Granville

We had our Kick Off Breakfast this morning at The Warner Library. What a wonderful venue to have a gathering. Everyone I dealt with, at the library was very accomodating. All the atttendees at the meeting thought the same thing. Our own JOE KING was also a part of the event and had a great time and I was glad he was here.

We announced our "Competition" today to all the agents. The Team Captains have been chosen and the teams were decided on by Karen and Myself.

We have the "BLUE TEAM" and the "WHITE TEAM". (What'd you expect, Fuscia and Sea Foam???)

Team Captains are as follows
BLUE Team>>>>>>> Mary Kay and Lisa
WHITE Team>>>>>>Linda and Jim

The contest actually started on Mar 1 and will run thru April 30.
Activity will bring you Business, so this contest will give you points for a multitude of Real Estate involved activities. The points schedule will be posted at the office or your TEAM captains will have one.


The TEAM with the least amount of points will WASH the winning teams CARS and cook HOT DOGS and BEANS for them.
We also have individual prizes as well with 2 GRAND PRIZES being drawn for 4 nights and 3 days at our condo at http://www.albemarleplantation.com/.
Each point is for 1 business card to be used for a drawing for each prize.


THE BLUE WALL!! Fenway park has there green monster, we have our BLUE monster!! :)
Come to our office. You will love it!! We want to thank our own CHRIS for the great job.

Next TUESDAY is our Coldwell Banker King Thompson Awards breakfast. (I use the term "breakfast" loosely) Starts at 8:30 at COSI in Columbus. As of this evening we have 10 agents signed up to attend. Karen came up with the idea for 2 points if you go!! She is too smart for her own good!! :) Before her idea we had 2 people signed up and I was one of them.

To the agents and staff at this office, I say thank you for letting me be a part of your day and hopefully a part of your success.

Birthday Friday

We had an employee have a birthday on Friday. Everything was going well until one of our agents tried to talk another, into eating the birthday girls, "Birthday Cupcake".

It happened, this agent took a bite out of the cupcake when the person was at lunch.

We have it on camera and I cannot figure out who the culprit is. If you know who this is please turn him into the authorities. They are looking for him. :)

Hope your open houses are going well and see you on Monday, Hopefully with contracts in hand!! :)

successful realtor with CBKT. She has great questions and very detailed, I know she will do just fine in this business. Shannon, thanks for coming!!
Passport To Success. We had 13 agents and 2 guests attend this great training session.
Directed by our own Sean Carpenter and Jim Stephenson. The program was a huge
success. Donna Alexander-Murphy transferred her license right after the program. A "20 millions dollar club" producer. We are lucky to have her as part of our TEAM!!

Another good agent friend of mine, (Tim Cocanour) also a guest at Passport talked more and more about transferring over to our office. Tim has a brokers license and is another Million Dollar Club producer. Tim signed up this week to be a part of our TEAM!!

Please, everyone say HI and I know you will make these agents feel very welcome.

This office has a wealth of experience with the length of time many of our agents have been in the business and with the new ones that just signed up. The knowledge and professionalism just gets better and better.

From the phones and the activity we see in the office. 2009 could very well surprise us all.
It has so far!! Keep it UP gang!!
