LETTER
FROM KUBA Opening doors to explore our personal and business futures first takes the courage to open our eyes, hearts and minds to new opportunities. When talking to any of our 5500+ agents, managers, brokers and employees, the energy, drive and excitement I feel from them validates the unique environment we have created together, and the endless amount of opportunities knocking on our door. Many of us have heard that the biggest risk of all is not taking a single risk. At ONE, we welcome risk and thrive from it. Behind every closed door is a new experience that awaits us. We know the only way to move forward is to let go of what is familiar, stagnant, routine, and open the door to new realities and possibilities. No limits. We cannot discover new oceans unless we have the courage to lose sight of the shore, so we embark on a journey of never settling; never getting comfortable; never giving up.
PUBLISHER Kuba Jewgieniew
We live on the edge of opportunity, taking risks together as ONE. By unlocking the doors to our future, we propel forward. Forever moving in a motion of progression. Forever finding the doors to our dreams.
EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Katie Secrest
Just like each lock is unique to its key, each ONE of us is unique to our success. Thank you for never becoming complacent; for always striving for more. You never know what is waiting for you behind a closed door.
CREATIVE DIRECTOR David Telling
Feel free to be yourself... EveryONE else is taken :)

Your daughter may like her hot-pink bedroom, but it could sour potential buyers. Paint the walls a neutral color that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. PATRICK O’CONNELL North Scottsdale, AZ
A comfortable indoor climate, soft sounds like music, pleasant sights like fresh flowers, and refreshing drinks or something to snack on, all help to relax a potential home buyer. These details can help a buyer connect and "fall in love" with the property. JACKIE GIBBINS Laguna Niguel, CA
It is so important for the house to be clean! There is nothing worse than a dirty kitchen full of dishes, or water spots on the bathroom mirror. MELISSA ZAIDEN Huntington Beach, CA
Think “model home” and de-clutter! Remove everything but the bare essentials, and minimize ancillary items like bookcases, lounge chairs, table lamps, wall hangings, and pictures. RON TOSSELL Gilbert, AZ

Patching some nail holes, changing burnt out light bulbs, repairing that broken towel rack, and fixing that hanging curtain can help eliminate the buyer from nickel and diming you on the price! CARLOS SILVA Summerlin, NV
DONNA STEVENS Tempe, AZ
HOMES
Have the shades up and curtains open! Also, have all of the lights turned on throughout the house, even if a room is already well lit. The lights turned on shows the warm beauty of the colors in the room.
Open the windows and let the fresh air in! A light breeze can freshen up the inside of a home. Create a nice scent during the open house by putting cinnamon sticks, cloves or nutmeg in some water on the stove. CINDY BOSTINELOS Tempe, AZ
Take down all pictures of friends and family in the home. Having pictures displayed makes it difficult for the buyer to visualize themselves living in the property. AUDRA LAMBERT Laguna Niguel, CA

Q
we asked...
What’s your Passion?
My real passion is sports and coaching. It truly is an honor to see my players perform, learn, and excel based on the things that I have taught them!
Outside of business and real estate consulting, my passion is interior decorating and staging. My outside passion meshes well with my real estate consulting and selling.
CARLOS SILVA | Rancho Cucamonga, CA
DEBRA SAVITTIERI | Scottsdale, AZ
I enjoy volunteering within the Deaf community.
When not working as a realtor, I’m a professional modern dancer. I dance with a company here in Phoenix called Center Dance Ensemble.
When I’m not at work I am spending time with my husband and our two beautiful kids. Family time is the most important thing to me. I enjoy entertaining friends and family. A full house is a happy house. ROSANNA BIESZCZAT | Las Vegas, NV I enjoy helping to enrich lives of single adults (above age 70) who may not get out much. So I organized a singles group at our church. On the 2nd Sunday of the month, we go out to different places for breakfast as a group. DONNA STEVENS | Tempe, AZ
BRAD SPECK | Phoenix, AZ Outside of work my passion would be re-purposing furniture and decor, or as I like to call it “Junkin”. I love to take antiques and find ways to make them new or use them in unique ways. It’s fun to create pieces for our home. KYLIE SWOPE | Lakewood, CA

My passion in life is competitive horse show jumping. I try to ride 3 to 4 times a week. Once you get “horse” into your blood, you just can’t seem to rid yourself from them.
Mountain bicycling is one of my healthy passions. Nothing beats starting a day with a nice ride on the South Mountain trails. I find my most creative thoughts come to me while I’m pedaling along the trails.

I am an avid golfer and have been since 1982. My wife had worked in the Golf Industry with Nike, Greg Norman and numerous famous golf facilities, so golf is in our DNA.
The smell of money is great, but the smell of a pine tree, massage oil, or a thousand year old building cannot compare. To hear the laughter of people dancing and singing or to feel a tug on a fishing line is to know the joys of life.

ONE ON ONE What inspired you to get into Real Estate? I came from the medical field and have always had a passion for helping others. Real estate seemed like a great fit to help others while being able to control my own destiny and create my own schedule to be available for my family. Why did you choose Las Vegas to build your business? I would say Las Vegas chose me. I grew up in a very small town in the mid-west where there are limited opportunities and once I saw the opportunities of this large town, I realized success in real estate was very feasible once I became committed to the hard work I knew was required. How important is community involvement? My community involvement is mainly focused on being a Christian man! I am involved with two different churches in town and I offer financial assistance and my time whenever possible. I have not personally seen it reflect on my business which is okay as that is not the reason I do it.
JIM BROOKS L A S V E G A S , N E VA D A
What’s the best professional advice you received? If you decide to choose real estate as a career you need to treat it as a business and not just a job. That means from the start you need to educate yourself in all areas of the business. You need to start putting systems in place from day one and the best advice I can give to new up and coming agents is to focus on your database. My database is my key to surviving the ever changing market we see here in Las Vegas. How do you find your clients? Prospecting and marketing. These are really the only two ways to find business. When I first started, I prospected due to lack of funds to market. Now that my team is established we market more than we prospect. Our marketing consists of continuously communicating with our database, geographical farming, going after referral business from our sphere of influence as well as agents in other markets. What are clients looking for in an agent? I have found my clients want a good old fashioned style of business: honest, ethical, hardworking and dedicated to always looking out for their best interest. Use those key factors in client representation and success will come. Our team motto is, “our clients are always right and we always kill them with kindness regardless of how negative they are.” Describe your personal approach to business? One word: Communication! That is the whole key to our business and I find if I just listen to my client’s needs and concerns we can usually find a path to meet what their true goals are. What has been your biggest career accomplishment? Being able to develop a team of true professionals who are as passionate as I am about our clients. That is not easy to find this type of person to work with you, much less a full team of incredible staff members.

How do you balance your work/life schedule? Scheduling my calendar. I live by my calendar and it requires me to plan my days, weeks and months. Without planning your time, this business will completely absorb your whole life. Advice for agents wanting to reach the next level? From day one, run your business like a business. Start with structure, mapping and laying out your business model. If you’re like me and do not know how to do that yourself, hire someone to help you with this once you have the income to do so.
LIVES
Why did you choose Realty ONE Group? I did a lot of research. I have worked at 3 of the biggest named brokerages in Las Vegas over the past decade, so I really knew what to look out for. First, the people at Realty ONE Group are the type of peers I want to associate with, but the key factor that made me choose Realty ONE Group is the dedication to the agents, as we are the core of the business. Realty ONE Group has put together a first class system that provides the agents with everything and more that they need to become successful in this business and more, while always keeping the agents’ best interest in mind. Once I really understood Realty ONE Group’s business model, it was a simple choice.

ONE ON ONE What inspired you to get into Real Estate? I was first introduced to real estate by a Tom Hopkins’ book, but after working for David Vacca, who was Pennsylvania’s Real Estate Entrepreneur of the Year 1992 & 1993, he showed me that hard work could be richly rewarding. He had flipped and rented houses and made his riches through real estate. Were you successful from the start? I guess so. I sold $3.5 million my first year while holding a different full-time job. I did $7 million my second year and $18 million my third year. The years when anyone could get a mortgage treated me well and helped me get a good start. What’s the best business advice someone gave you? Find a mentor or a coach that has current success in the business. How do you approach your business? Fire in the belly. I get after it every day. My goal is to be the best possible real estate option there is.
JEFF SIBBACH NORTH SCOTTSDALE, AZ
How do you attract new business? I’m a student of the game. There are very few new ways to get business in real estate. We’ve built an internet presence that attracts buyers and sellers. My team held 150 - 200 open houses last year. We farm an area of North Scottsdale. We keep in touch with past clients. Nothing new, we just try to engineer already proven ways to fit our profile. What qualities do clients look for in an agent? Market and area expertise. Good communication. Expert knowledge of the real estate transaction. Clients are hoping you’ll work hard for them. How do you help clients understand the process? We thoroughly advise clients using charts, graphs and technology. We over educated them from the start. No surprises. We tell them what is going to happen or what may happen; that way, when it does, they aren’t in a panic. I have built a team around me giving me the ability to provide more support than any one realtor can give. Is community involvement important for your business? Community involvement is critical. Realtors are more efficient when your social sphere overlaps your marketing farm. My kids go to the schools, my friends live in the neighborhood, and I shop at the grocery stores all in the area I sell homes. When we hold events with the HOA, friends and past clients come by and say hello. What has been the biggest challenge in your career? The absence of an active real estate market in 2008. I was a tour guide, people weren’t buying. What got me through it is never giving up. We’re back to a normal market which seems to have caught some people by surprise. It’s back to winning in the living room. Your interpersonal skills and your ability to relate to homeowners is paramount to your success.

What are you most passionate about? Family, real estate, growing the business. I schedule time to be with my family. I had to learn to block time. What was your biggest professional accomplishment? When a customer told me, “I’ve sold many homes and worked with many realtors, but you have raised the level of service I expect from a realtor.”
What advice do you have for upcoming agents? Be careful who you take advice from. Everyone wants to sound like they know what works. Look up their production numbers. Are they really growing their business on the advice they gave you? If not, don’t waste your time talking to them. Find someone that is more successful than you. Listen to them. I’ve started coaching agents in other areas that need help with tracking and accountability. Chances are your success is tied to how much or how little time you spend on dollar productive activities. Track what you want to change.

ONE ON ONE What inspired you to get into Real Estate? I had neighbors that owned a real estate brokerage and they knew I was about to get laid off as a training manager of an internet company during the .com bust. They saw potential in me and encouraged me to get my real estate license and join their firm. Why did you choose Orange County? I have lived in Orange County for 25+ years so it was a natural place to build my business. Were you successful from the start? Yes - the first year I made the same amount as I did the two previous years combined. How do you find your clients? Sphere of influence, friends, family, past clients, open houses, online, other realtors, family law attorneys, business affiliates/associates – just about everywhere – because I ask.
CHERYL LYNCH
ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
What are clients looking for in an agent? Honesty, excellent communication skills, stellar negotiation skills, and a professional that takes their business seriously. Describe your personal approach to business? My approach is based on education and honesty. I find out what my clients specific goals are regarding real estate, motivation and timing, then I meet their needs, look for solutions and deliver the best customer service possible. What has been your biggest career accomplishment? Making over $500,000 in one year. I love having $100,000 months. How do you help clients understand the process? I educate clients upfront and explain processes and what they can expect and ask for feedback every step of the way How important is community involvement? Very important. I do this by holding open houses, send current market updates to my selected neighborhood and attending local community and school events. How has the industry changed in recent years? The internet has really changed our business. We used to hold all of the information. Now it’s accessible online twenty-four seven. I find I am a negotiator and interpreter of information for my client’s more than a home finder. How have you adapted? I hold a master negotiation certification that has kept me 12 steps ahead of the competition and I am now a more valuable asset to my clients. I get more referrals and have more time to serve my buyers because they usually come to me with the property they want to see then I negotiate a stellar deal for them. They feel more part of the process this way.

How do you balance your work/life schedule? I run my life by a calendar and I know when to say no. I make sure I eat well, exercise and take time for family and myself. I learned a long time ago, if you do not take care of yourself, then you will be no good for anybody.
What motivates you to get out of bed each morning? God, my family and the opportunity to help others. What’s your advice for a successful real estate career? Work hard - not part time. Take every education opportunity you can to learn and go. Get a coach or mentor that can see you for your assets and can recognize areas of improvement. Document everything so you have processes in place, follow a budget and don’t be transaction focused but people focused. This business is about the people you serve and money is a byproduct of your hard work.

The dream of controlling your entire living space with the touch of a fingertip is fast becoming a reality...
As technology continues to evolve, so does the quality of our experiences in the home. Home entertainment is becoming ever more immersive with higher resolution sound and vision that envelops us from every angle. The kitchen now combines art and science, not just for cooking and dining, but for social interaction that reaches beyond its walls. Even the bedroom offers more than a mattress to sleep on, but one that can cradle you in comfort at the desired position, firmness and temperature.

APPLIANCES: Normally if you talk to appliances you might want to see a doctor. But by simply texting your LG Smart Oven, robot vacuum, washer or smart refrigerator, you can check on food supplies, turn on or update washer cycles, start dinner, and get your carpet clean before you come home! Soon, these kind of capabilities will be common place.
LIGHTING: Now you can set the mood in a moment! Choose a preset, and voila, you’ve changed the intensity and color of lighting in an instant. Products like the Phillips Hue give you ambient control without having to rewire a single socket. Some bulb systems even include wireless audio speakers to give you both sound and vision!
Where would we be without our TV Remote, and who would ever want to get up out of their seat to change the channel again? Now, this kind of freedom is being taken to a whole new level. Smartphones, smart appliances, smart apps and smart “hubs” (which combine controls like a universal remote) are redefining the comforts of home...you don’t have to be sitting on a couch to make things happen. We take a look at some of the capabilities and offerings available.
IRIS: This is a dedicated home automation system from Lowes, offering monitoring and control of a broad range of Iris devices. A new Voice Control feature now allows you to use spoken commands.
SMART THINGS: Is compatible with hundreds of WiFi, ZigBee and Z-Wave devices to give you convenient control of locks, lights, outlets, thermostats, security devices and more.
REVOLV: Revolv enables you to harmonize multiple smart home products from dozens of brands and control them with a single App. The product is geared towards flexibility and future-proofing.

It will display your name, snap and send photos of whoever appears at your door, and send you alerts via text message and email.
ENVIRONMENT: Controlling the temperature in your home has never been so “cool.” Products like the Nest Learning Thermostat can be easily installed and makes programming and adjusting conditions in your home so much easier with a smartphone. The Nest actually learns your schedule and programs itself to save you money!

It unites your digital music collection in one app that you control from any device. Play what you want in every room over a dedicated wireless network.
SECURITY: There are many choices for in-home security cameras, however, Canary is one of the simplest.
