We would like to welcome our newest graduates of Scheetz Advantage! These bright REALTORS recently received their real estate license, graduated from our company course and are now ready to begin building their business.
"Everyone comes from such different backgrounds" said Tracy Hutton, Vice President of CENTURY 21 Scheetz. "We have people in this class who have been in sales for 30 years, to people who were previous college coaches, to brand new college graduates. It's so exciting to see how their past experience adds to their success in this industry".
CENTURY 21 Scheetz is rather picky on who they actually extend an offer to work at CENTURY 21 Scheetz. We are not merely "recruiting". We provide a lot of information to people in order for them to make the best decision for them as possible. We believe 100% that CENTURY 21 Scheetz is the by far the most prestigous real estate company to work for in the Indianapolie area. The tools, resources, mentoring, and coaching are superior to anything people will find around the Indianapolis area. However, it is still not the right place for everyone, and we know that. We are interested in people who are wanting to work full time, determined to succeed, trainable and coachable, and want to make a lot of money. We interview a lot of people each year, but not everyone fits that profile.
"CENTURY 21 Scheetz strongly focusses on making sure our agents are knowledgeable by receiving the best training in the industry, hands down!" said Susan Harden, Greenwood Branch Manager. "The technology alone that is provided to the agents arms them with tools to grow their business, help sellers sell homes, and help buyers find homes that no one else can even come close to"

There are, of course, several advantages of purchasing a new home versus an existing home. Before seeing what’s possible, here are a few advantages to think about:
·Brand new homes are one of the easiest ways for first time home buyers to begin building substantial equity over the first few years
·No worries about replacing old carpet, counter tops, roofs and aging appliances.
·New homes are more energy efficient. Due to better windows, more efficient heating and cooling equipment, better control of air infiltration and greater use of insulation, new homes are twice as energy efficient as homes built prior to 1980.
·Existing home are more expensive to maintain and require additional maintenance and upkeep versus a brand new home or condo
·New home communities make friends quickly!

The bright shiny Monday morning started out by talking about the successful open houses held over the weekend. Each of the new agents held an open house. AWESOME! There's good news and bad news...First the good...a couple of the new agents established a relationship with buyers and are scheduled to go out and show them homes for sale in Indianapolis. The bad news, it was a very stormy Sunday afternoon. Rain, lightning, and wind! You would think that would keep people away, right? WRONG! Everyone had people come through. I like to end on a good note, so here it is. Nearly 90 open houses were held throughout the Indianapolis market area by CENTURY 21 Scheetz agents. That's a lot of open houses, and a lot of opportunity for someone in the Indianapolis market to win $221,000towards the purchase of their new home. Learn all about how you can win! We even heard that Arlene Janicki-Raby held an open house, one person came through, and wrote an offer! Can't ask for a better Sunday than that now can you?
OK, on to day 6! What happened today, I know you're dying to know! CENTURY 21 Scheetz is known throughout the Indianapolis market area as the leaders in Real Estate Technology! We are proud of that role, and honored to lead the way. So, day 6 was all about technology.
"It's great to see so many of our new agents coming in to the business with laptops, smart phones, and familiar with social media" said Patty Bender, General Manager at CENTURY 21 Scheetz. "It sure makes our job easier, and the agents job a lot easier"
There's always a little bit of overwhelm on a day like today. The tools, resources, and technology provided to agents at CENTURY 21 Scheetz is so much, it's like drinking water from a fire hydrant - But it's exciting, and everyone is eager and jumping in head first!
Our agents are feeling GREAT! We have agents in Greenwood, feeling motivated to sell Greenwood Indiana Real Estate, and all the way on the other side of town the North side agents are ready to market Carmel Homes for sale, or Hamilton County Indiana Homes. Go TEAM!!! Real Estate License Indiana
Excitement is growing! And heads are expanding with knowledge!
Wednesday was such a fun day! Susan Harden, Branch Manager for our Greenwood Branch, had a very interactive training day teaching all about how to prepare and present a Marketing Presentation.
"Today was great because each day from here forward we will try to work in some time to do some role playing on marketing presentation, which leads up to the grand finale the last day", said Richard Lampe, Carmel Branch Manager.
Grand Finale? What does that mean? Oh..., stay tuned and you'll see what fun and excitement the last day brings!!
"It was really helpful to be able to practice and see a demonstration" said Andrea Beaver, a new agent at the Carmel Location.
Patty Bender, General Manager, said, "Marketing Presentations are one of the scariest things to do for new agents, they think they have to know everything, when in actuality a lot of it is about rapport, and some of it is about knowledge. This is why we spend a lot of coaching time following the two weeks of Scheetz Advantage training to ensure our agents feel comfortable." Following Marketing Presentations Kim Curry, from Lawyers Title, walked the class through the Title and Closing process. It always seems that during this part of the class new agents look a little glassy eyed. This is typical and something we understand. The first closing an agent has is when it all comes together and a lot of "aha's" take place. Real Estate License Indiana
Agents are pumped! There's a fun little chart in the back of the room that is tracking whether or not people do their "homework" each night. WOW! Perfect scores today! Little do they know but a surprise is awaiting at the end if they do all their homework! YEAH!
What a great day!!! Susan Harden, Greenwood office Branch Manager kicked the day off with loads of information about building a business via referrals. Susan taught us how to systematically manage your Sphere of Influence. Examples, ideas, and specific manageable details were provided.
TECHNOLOGY-TECHNOLOGY-TECHNOLOGY Following the great tips and tools from Susan, we headed into the wonderful world of technology. Half of the agents had their computers with them and were ready to follow along, but early on decided it might just be easier to watch and learn, and then later practice, practice, practice.
Knowing that day 3 was going to be all about Marketing Presentations, the agents learned about the technology to help them create beautiful customized marketing presentations for their clients. Being able to share with clients about homes for sale in Indianapolis, in a format unlike anything you've ever seen, sets our agents apart from the "me too" crowd you see these days.
21online, CENTURY 21 Scheetz Intranet, and much more was packed in to day two. So much more technology to come, but baby steps for now!
Join us for Day Three as we talk about Marketing Presentations and Time Management! Real Estate License Indiana

Here are perfect examples of why NOT to get into real estate:
“I like to look at homes” (super!)
“I bought a house and it was fun so I thought I would try to sell some” (hmmm, really?)
“I like to look at how the houses are decorated” (Get Better Homes and Garden magazine)
“I’m looking for an easy way to make money” (LOL..that sums it up)
BUT…yesterday, 10 bright aggressive new REALTORS ready to put their heart and soul into selling real estate in the Indianapolis area said the following when asked, “Why Real Estate?”
“I want to determine my own destiny” (YES!)
“I’ve worked hard my whole life, I’m ready to put that hard work towards owning my own business” (Refreshing)
“I’ve been in the customer service industry my whole life, this business is all about the customer, it’s a great fit to transfer to an industry where my sales and service fit”. (WOW, got that one right!)
