A Phenomenal Awards Banquet!A Letter from the PresidentBy Scott Avery

So Mick Jagger just called me up and said they were changing the name of their song to Sympathy for the MyLife Man…. He loved the spandex! I have to say that several days after a phenomenal Awards Banquet I’m still on a high, still laughing at the fun we had, still thankful for our wonderful partners, still in awe of the camaraderie and fellowship displayed and, most of all, still amazed at the wonderful accomplishments of all the professional sales associates that work so hard to make the entire company stand out.

The photos and commentary posted on social media following the banquet have generated a terrific response and will no doubt bring increased attention to those agents posting items. Two and three hundred people at a time taking notice of commentary and/or accomplishments are quite substantial and will

help influence decision making in the future. I also deeply appreciate the comments you make about the company, such as:

• “many thanks to the AHR team of professionals”• “thank you for the guidance and contagious passion for our great company”• “I enjoyed the fun spirit everyone had”• “I love this company and my colleagues”

And on and on and on! Every one of us is surrounded by good people who have helped build a quality culture within the company. This culture we have built stands out as a hallmark of who we are. We care, we support and we help each other day in and day out in all we do. Never underestimate how powerful this can be in a business that is difficult, complex and demanding. To repeat what I said at the Awards Banquet …”It is good to recognize how different we are in our talents, our backgrounds and our dreams, yet we meld our differences so we can move forward towards a common company goal, that of serving the consumer. Together we reinforce and enhance this service in an increasingly complex real estate world”.

We should all be very proud of our accomplishments, collectively and individually, acknowledge our success and then prepare ourselves to reach for new goals. Understand how the industry is changing, continue to educate yourself, innovate and provide a “WOW” consumer experience. Never lose sight that relationships, human connection and emotions are vital elements in milestone events in a person’s life. And buying or selling a home is certainly one of them.

Be on the lookout for our new TESTIMONIAL TREE offering. Direct consumer feedback from home buyers and sellers is paramount to future engagement with these consumers. I guarantee you’ll love this. And finally, nothing like a new fresh clean sign to take us where we’re going.

Business is GREAT!

Scott

PM CORNER

How We’re Helping Renters Build their Credit Histories for Eventual Homeownership!

AH Management is introducing a new online rental payment

system called RentTrack in May that reports rental payments

to major credit bureaus, allowing tenants that pay their rent

on-time to build their credit scores! This will be especially

great for those tenants mapping out a long-term plan for

first-time homeownership! Tenants can pay their rent online

by e-check or credit card, and monitor their credit scores and

profile.

The hope is that our property owners will also benefit from seeing more on-time rent

payments now that there’s more incentive to do so.

Mid-May will be our official launch of RentTrack! We have marketing materials already

in the works to hit the ground running and really get people to see the value in this

new system. Stay tuned….

VHDA 3% Grant Program

In an effort to stimulate the spring home buying season for 1st time buyers in Virginia, Virginia Housing Development Authority is pleased to announce Down Payment Assistance grants. Because these resources are extremely limited, they will be targeted to those households earning no more than 80% of VHDA’s current income limits.  Grants will be limited to 3% of the lesser of purchase price or appraised value.

The borrower is under no obligation to repay the grant (No Note or Deed of Trust is executed for these funds).  VHDA has set-aside $5 million for the Down Payment Assistance Grant program.  Because these resources are limited, they will be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Once funds have been exhausted there will be no additional allocation.  Each request for DPA grant funds must be allocated by VHDA no later than June 30, 2015.
