Housekeeping Tip: Make sure you are turning in your unused IBOXES to the office! Also, if we are low on any supplies or presentations shoot me an email or leave me a note!
We got a Zillow lead interested in seeing new construction in Olathe, they said they weren’t working with an agent but had some realtors in the family. After seeing a couple homes with Barb Murphy they put a offer in and closed a month later! They were extremely happy with The Rob Ellerman Team service and who knows maybe Barb will get referrals over family members!
We have focused on conversion training to help improve our leads department. Using our Zillow sources we’re working to get a specific conversion trainer to come and meet with the team. We’ve started meeting with our rep to go over conversion, but more to come!

All listings are required to be input to MLS. There is no way to keep a listing out of MLS if you have any type of Exclusive Right to Sell.
As of March 28, 2023, changes to the Private Office Exclusive Listing form and process went into effect. All Private office listings must be added into MLS within 1 day of the effective date as a “Private office Exclusive”.
We are still required to submit the Exclusive Right to Sell and the Exclusive Private office Listing Addendum to Heartland on the Matrix Dashboard Link. This part has not changed.

We are excited to welcome several new faces to the expansion team! Can you believe we are up to 29 agents now?!? Also a big shout out to everyone who has sent referrals to our expansion offices. I know the agents really appreciate the business. Congratulations to Maegan in Dallas for our first team listing! She was up against three veteran agents so this is a major victory. Joanna is up and running in the St.Pete/Tampa region so if you have anyone looking to buy or sell make sure to reach out. Thank you to everyone for supporting our expansion teammates!
We had our 3rd Annual Client Party April 1st. We had great attendance again this year with approx. 90 clients! This is our favorite event of the year and it has paid dividends with referrals and return clients asking to help sell and buy another home! We have some interviews with some potential new agents to join the team so stay tuned for more on that!
We grew by two and welcomed transferring agent, Brandie, and new agent, Brandon, to the team! The lake is still experiencing bidding wars for certain price points and types of properties and getting more competitive as summer is getting close. In February, we gave clients chocolate strawberries as a way to say “Thanks!” and we are looking forward to hosting First Time Home Buyer seminars this spring!
Our first quarter is off to a great start in Des Moines! So proud of our team and the success they each continue to have as we grow! The first quarter of the year is always full of events and opportunities to celebrate our accomplishments. We had a fun night out celebrating our Diamond Award at the RE/MAX Concepts Awards Ceremony. Some of our team then traveled to Las Vegas for the RE/MAX R4 Convention, which is full of networking and learning with our team, plus other agents from our brokerage and around the world We are also excited to welcome four new team members this quarter! Looking forward to continuing to have a great 2023!
Wekeepgrowingwith4new agentsthisquarter. Oursales continuetorise. Everyoneis doingawesome!!!
We had our 1st new homeowners relocating from Kansas City to Dallas that I was able to assist! Keep those referrals coming! Enjoying our office events and was able to help serve lunch to the residents at the Austin Street Center, a homeless shelter in the area. Had our first RET listing go live and working with a couple of people to start expanding our team!

We've had a very productive first quarter! We are seeing lots of activity and bidding wars, especially in Blue Valley. Most of our office also attended Buffini Peak Producers last month, and Jack had his very first sale! Looking forward to a couple new agents in the upcoming months as well It is shaping up to be a very busy spring and summer market
Brooksiders are holding their own while trying to wade their way through this crazy market we’re in. The Corridor has proven to be a little more complicated than anticipated with multiple offers accelerated from this time last year, slowly but surely we’re making head way and getting a few wins.
Our office also had a fun “Saturday Warm Up” St. Patrick’s parade, the whole Rob Ellerman team was in attendance, rain or shine we had a good time!
The first quarter of 2023 has been one of celebrations! We started with the ReeceNichols 2023 Kick Off, enjoyed a Fat Tuesday Party during our weekly office sales meeting, and rounded it out with a Kansas City North ReeceNichols Awards Party! We are a small, but mighty group in the North office with a wonderful culture of support for each other! We are seeing open house successes and our newest member Amber, (just out of RET training) hosted her first solo open house and ended the afternoon writing an offer with one of the guests! Izma hosted a first-time buyer class, Andrew started the year off with fabulous volume while coaching Smithville High School Wrestling, and we've all been taking advantage of the many training classes offered in our office. We've recently had several social marketing classes, that have inspired Janis to up her social marketing game! We are looking forward to the warmer weather and new opportunities to work our business!
It's been a good first quarter for the Town Center office. We had a fun office celebration and were honored to receive the award for the top team in the Town Center Office.
We are excited to welcome Nasra Abdi to the team. Brooke Winfrey, Melody, and Majid participated in the Ninja training in February.
Congrats to Peyton Reboulet who closed his first transaction recently, the first of many! We are looking forward to continued success! Blessed to be a part of The Rob Ellerman Family!

They can't sell anything the day of the event but they can gather names and hand out details about their business...then in addition, depending on the level they sign up for they get to market to the team throughout the year!
