Member Success Stories

Here are just a few of the many Success Stories Members send us


“After completing my recent training with you in Miami I went out on not one, but two listing presentations on homes over 19,000 sq. ft.  The valuable information I received has helped me secure both listings.  One is listing at $4.9m and the 2nd is listing at $10.8m.  Thank you so much!!!!”
--Danny Veal, Realtor
  Stirling Sotheby's International Realty


“I am so excited!  I have to share this with you.  It has been two business days since I finished your course.  I met with the CEO of our regional hospital today.  I told him I specialize in luxury homes and that I am trained in that area‚ somehow I heard your words coming out of my mouth and saw your statistics in front of me. Guess what?  He asked me if I would meet immediately with two of their new surgical physician candidates.  He also asked me if I would help them find some properties that the hospital could own for temporary housing for physicians‚than you for giving me the tools to make this meeting an unbelievable success!”

Member Debra King took the training concepts of using a showing guide and “romancing a home” and  put them to work them to sell her buyer a home for $1.4 million. Here’s what she says, “If not for the training that (The Institute) provided, I do not know if I would have had the skill set to navigate such a transaction. When I signed up for the course, I had already had the necessary qualifications to become a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist. This sale qualified me to become a member of the Institute's Million Dollar Guild, not to mention (generating) a sizeable commission check.”

My membership is very special to me.  I did three transactions this past month with referrals from two Institute members!

Member Michael Morrisonof Morrison House - Sotheby's International Realty in University Place (WA) frequently sends us success stories.  Here’s a short summary of some of them:
  • Using the press release idea from the class generated a $995,000 sale
  • One business card jacket resulted in a $1,000,000+ listing
  • Starting a quarterly report resulted in an immediate $700,000 condo sale
  • The right script on an elevator led to multiple transactions in a $700,000 per unit condo tower
Not bad for an agent who started with an average price in the $200,000 range!  He says the return on investment for his Institute membership is outstanding.


Maureen Kennedy with Pacific Union in Oakland took an idea from training, tweaked it, and sold a million dollar property.  She used special event marketing to attract 200 people to her listing and created a bidding situation.  Talk about a happy seller!


...and here are some of the thank you notes we've received.
