Haring Realty: A Leap of Faith
Nearly 40 years ago, a school principal took a leap of faith and started a small real estate firm in Mansfield, Ohio.
They say it's never too late in life to switch gears and try something new. While many people talk about changing their careers, very few actually do it once they get comfortable. Arnold Haring, an Ohio elementary school principal, started selling real estate as a side business in the late 70s. A decade later, in 1983, Haring Realty was born. Now, nearly 40 years after the firm's conception, Haring Realty is led by Arnold's son, Peter, and is still operating in Ohio. Arnold's courage to make the change led to success for both himself and his family.
"My dad started the business. He was an elementary school principal, and he decided he wanted to earn a little extra income,...

MJ Peterson Real Estate: Four Generations of Family Values
They say that family is the heart of the home. And for MJ Peterson Real Estate, a family business serving the Western New York region for over 91 years, that certainly rings true.
In the early 1930s, following the Great Depression, Marvin Peterson and his family moved from Detroit to Buffalo and started building houses. What began as a simple home-building venture ultimately became one of the most successful real estate companies in Western New York. With Victor (Pete) Peterson III being the current owner, four generations later, the Peterson family still owns and operates the business they started many years ago.
For over 91 years, MJ Peterson Real Estate has been serving the Western New York region. The company saw...

Don't be Myth-Taken
Myths are everywhere in the real estate industry these days — and not just for your clients. In an industry with so many resources and news sources available, it's also easy for agents to believe some common myths about their own careers. Whether you're talking about buyers, sellers, or your own career as a real estate agent, combating myths is an important part of the job that is also sometimes overlooked. Cutting through the myths will help your clients achieve their real estate goals and can help you grow within your own career for years to come.
Common Myths for Real Estate Agents
Before we get into buyers and sellers, it's time to take a look a bit closer to home. There are certain myths about being a real estate agent that regularly make the rounds on social media, during water cooler talk, and in other prominen...

The Route to Good Lead Routing
Lead routing is important. Let's face it: Getting lead opportunities to the right person to handle them is the best way to provide that customer with the kind of service you want to be known for. Not only are you going to get more closings from happier customers, but it's a great way to entice more agents to join your brokerage, and to keep the ones you have. Quality leads come from meeting an expectation of excellent service. Excellent service comes, in part, from getting the customer a prompt response from someone well equipped to help them. Unfortunately, when it comes to lead routing (and most things in life, really) there's no single solution here that is just "the way." There are too many factors to take into account from one brokerage to the next. Your market, agents, and business model all come into play, so I can't tell you exactly what's "best" for...
