Every year By Referral Only comes to the Washington DC area.  As a member, I find The Main Event to be refreshing and rewarding because it gives me the opportunity to meet other members in person, see what’s working well for other agents, and to reinforce the things that I currently do for my clients.  Here are some photos from this week’s Main Event:

Me and Hugo Robinson (Partners In Crime!  Hugo is having success helping his clients with Reverse Mortgages)

Me and Tony Aragon (I knew you could do it! Tony was practicing his referral dialogues, and during the Main Event called a past client and received two referrals!)

Me and Joe Scerbo (aka The CraigsList King!  Joe has helped me market my listings on CraigsList to find buyers for my sellers!)

Me and Teresa Hollingsworth and Teresa Wright (Taking it to a new level!  I had just referred some clients to Teresa H. a couple of months ago.  She was able to help them get their home SOLD before any other home in the neighborhood.  Teresa W. and I shared our experiences on working with foreclosures.)

So many times clients just don’t know what great Realtors do behind the scenes.  When we network and share ideas, we get homes sold faster, solve problems (and often help prevent them!), and help each other grow professionally and personally.  Just over 70% of my business is by word of mouth and referrals from happy past clients, thanks to the teachings of By Referral Only and the support of my team at McEnearney Associates.

Co-worker referral turns into a Happy Alexandria Homeower with a shorter commute…

Dear Tamara,

Thank you so much for all your hard work in helping us find a condo in Alexandria.  As you can imagine, my commute is greatly reduced!  We really like the area and truly appreciate your recommendation.   -Deborah W.

After consistently delivering Outstanding Results with RE/MAX Allegiance of Kingstowne for over five years, Tamara Inzunza has joined locally owned McEnearney Associates, Inc. in Old Town Alexandria.

Those looking to purchase or sell a home in Northern Virginia or Washington DC, will benefit from the marketing expertise of the area’s #1 firm. The numbers don’t lie, not only did McEnearney Associates lead the region in sales in 2007 but the firm also holds the records for highest list price to sold price ratio for homes.

When asked why make a move from an internationally known company to a local firm, Inzunza responded, "Whenever anyone talks about real estate, one of the first things that comes to mind is Location, Location, Location.  Even experienced real estate agents often remind consumers that ‘real estate is local’.  Well, locally, the reputation of McEnearney Associates is second to none.  The company is highly regarded among the real estate community, has an unmatched agent retention rate, and is dedicated to providing agents with tools and support to help them increase their business and best serve clients."

"Anyone who knows me, from clients to fellow collegueas in the industry, knows that I have high standards.  In this service-oriented industry, it’s imperative to ensure that all facets of my business reflect a solid level of professionalism, productivity, and performance.  Moving to McEnearney Associates is the logical step in the right direction."
