ADAM ZASTROW | COVER FEATURE
Adam Zastrow: Husband, Father, Friend, Artist, Musician, Leader, Advocate, Counselor, Team Builder When you spend any amount of time with Adam Zastrow, and pay attention to his approach to relationships, you will learn that he is an excellent listener. More than anyone I know, Adam listens well. In today’s world, that is so refreshing! I’ve also learned, if you want the full benefit of knowing Adam, you need to invite him to speak, by asking good questions. In fact, I’ve learned to go beyond inviting, and have moved towards encouraging, urging, and borderline cajoling him to share his insights. When Adam opens-up freely, what I have found is a treasure trove of wisdom, interesting thoughts, and deep heartfelt love and concerns for those he loves and serves so well. Adam has taken “advocacy” to new levels at Realty Executives Integrity. In the past year, his oversight in the area of Recruiting, Retaining, and helping our Sales Executives to reach their utmost potential has been incredible. What we call our “3 Rs” that is the heartbeat of Realty Executives Integrity, is something Adam does very well. His efforts have dramatically changed the core of our company, for the better. Adam freely lays down his life for others. An increasing number of our Sales Executives are engaging Adam and supporting his efforts to bring quality people to our company. For those of you who know Adam well, you are smiling right now and celebrating the recognition that he rightly deserves and has received by the honor of a Cover Feature. You also know that Adam is humbly saying, “There are others far more worthy of such recognition”. To which we reply, “Not today Adam, today is your day to shine!”

“FINISH WELL” By Dale Schaechterle
As we near the end of summer and head into the final stretch of 2020, I’m reminded of what my Sons call “some of the best advice I ever gave them”. We often talk about starting the new year with a bang, which of course is important. But, what I tried to instill in Aaron & Adam was it’s far more important to “FINISH WELL”. They followed this advice during the school year, making sure they didn’t slack off towards the end of the school year (which is easy to do). They used this advice on the tennis court, especially when they got down early in a match; and found it didn’t matter, if they didn’t give up and finished well. My Dad lived this concept to the fullest. On his final day on earth, he spent the morning coaching a new agent with her business plan, shared the afternoon caring for a quadriplegic friend of his, and that evening he visited the county jail to minister to inmates who were down on their luck. Later that evening, at 84 years of age, his heart gave out, and he left this earth a better place to live. He finished well! And so, what about YOU? How will you finish well in 2020? In business it takes maintaining your momentum and remaining focused. What has brought you the most success this year? Now, do more of that! In life, it means finding ways to serve others in a manner that brings fulfillment for you, and dramatic life change for them. In every situation it requires being intentional about the process. Let me know how I can help you to finish this year with excellence! 100% Yours,
-Dale

GET TO KNOW | ROBIN MERATH The moment you set foot into our Lake Country office you are sure to be greeted with a warm smile and a joyful welcome. Support with a smile isn’t just a hope at Realty Executives Integrity, it is the way of life for our team and Robin lives and breathes this as the anchor of our Lake Country office. Robin is an incredible member of our front desk support team and we are so lucky to have her! We have realized that finding amazing talent comes through referrals and Robin was referred to us by one of our very own, Gina Dingman. Quickly finding her groove in real estate support was not a new venture for her. Prior to staying home with her daughter, Robin worked alongside several top agents in the industry to support their business and when the opportunity was presented to her she was excited to continue that passion. Robin is always excited to learn something new, has a desire to make a task more efficient and is not afraid to ask questions. Stepping into our Lake Country office allowed Robin to get to know many new faces and support them in their business. Helping the Executives with marketing items, learning PrimeAgent and making sure their paperwork is all taken care of is what she is best at! These are the qualities and positive attitude that help make her successful when serving our Sales Executives and their clients. When she is not serving others at Realty Executives Integrity, you’ll find her spending time with her family; whether that is at home or up north. She and her husband Jason have three daughters; Casey, Kirstyn, & Maddie and a dog named Rocky. For Robin, it is the simple things in life that mean the most to her. The memories she creates with her family are priceless!
Robin with her husband and youngest daughter: Maddie
Fun facts: She has eaten kangaroo before, killed a bear, and her favorite candy bar is Snickers. As you get to know Robin, You’ll quickly see her zest for life & helping people. She takes pride in her work and is eager to serve you and your business. Robin’s two older daughters: Casey & Kirstyn
WHY REALTY EXECUTIVES
“
“It all started when a friend of mine, Realty Executives Agent Gina Dingman, told me about the need for a part time secretary at the East Troy branch. Since I had experience with this type of work in the past, and really enjoyed it, I felt I would be a good fit for the role. Ultimately, I was awarded the position, and couldn’t have been happier. So, when approached in regards to the full time role in Hartland, I was extremely excited to be considered, and accepted without having to think twice. Since joining the Realty Executives team, everyone has been beyond welcoming and so helpful; it is truly a great feeling to be part of such a wonderful team.” 5

“After 13 years in the corporate recognition market, I was looking for a change of scenery. My previous career focused heavily on new client development as well as account retention. With a heavy focus on client development focusing on goals with customer service, I felt real estate could be my next home.
I chose to partner with Realty Executives after my great success with the firm buying/selling my last three homes.” DannyCull@RealtyExecutives.com

“I chose real estate after working as a nurse for 8 years. I am looking forward to the flexibility and increased family time that owning my own business provides. I love helping to take care of people and making them happy; especially during the exciting time of buying and selling a home! I knew after my initial meeting with Adam that I wanted to join Realty Executives. I love the family friendly atmosphere and the incredible supportive team that is making the transition of starting a new career easy!”

“I’ve always been fascinated with Real estate, so after 20 + years in education and healthcare I am excited to pursue my career in Real Estate. I love working with people, and it gives me the ability and the freedom to continue to help people, while also giving me the flexibility and freedom for continuing with my passion of fostering dogs and cats. The Realty Executives Integrity group is amazing! I feel blessed to have such a great opportunity to work with this group of friendly, supportive, and generous team members who have all made me feel like a part of their family!”

“After living with and around my mom, who has been a real estate agent for 20+ years, I have always been very interested in what she did, and all of the pieces of the puzzles. Most importantly though, I thoroughly enjoy being able to provide a service that helps people, puts a smile on their face, and being someone that they can truly trust. I decided to join Realty Executives because not only have I heard great things about the company, staff, and training opportunities, but to also be able to work on a team with my mom.” DanielleBodway@RealtyExecutives.com

HOW CAN YOU GIVE BACK? • Donate a portion of your commissions easily through our accounting department • Volunteer your time at upcoming events • Reach out and ask • Raise awareness by posting or sharing posts on social media
JR’s Pups-N-Stuff | www.JrPupsNStuff.org This rescue began with one goal in mind: to save animals from life-threatening situations. It was built by a network of foster parents in the Milwaukee area so that animals don’t have to spend their days waiting for their fur-ever families in a kennel. It’s no wonder they’re known as the “little rescue with a big heart”.
Lindsay’s Voice | www.TreesOfHopeWI.org Dedicated to raising awareness for blood cancers such as Leukemia and Lymphoma as well as raising funds to support patient services and ongoing local research, Lindsay’s Voice was founded as a way to celebrate the life of Lindsay (Wenzel) Lopez. Habitat for Humanity | www.Habitat.org Envisioning a world where everyone has a decent place to live, Habitat builds and renovates homes for families in need of sustainable housing. Before 16 | www.Before16.org This 501 (c)3 nonprofit foundation was built to care for orphans and strive to get children hosted by a family who is either considering adoption or will be strong advocates for their adoption. Their hope is the hosting process will provide the avenue to find a loving family for each child before they turn 16 and are kicked out of the system. SALS | www.SALShouses.org By providing a non-institutional sober living environment, SALS offers freedom with accountability for men and women who are serious about their sobriety.

What have you learned that is the most beneficial to your business over the last 17 years? I have learned how valuable it is to my business to continue to educate myself. Realty Executives Integrity offers an abundance of education, trainings, systems and tools that have helped me become the Top Producer I am today. 3.

EXPERIENCE A
Dinner of Honor
NEXT DINNER IS SEPTEMBER 24TH | Maggiano’s Little Italy Join us and bring a guest who you would like to see join our Realty Executives Family! Reserve your spot TODAY with BeckyWilde@RealtyExecutives.com The Dinner of Honor concept came from Rich Rector who was the President of Realty Executives International at that time. Rich was also the Broker Owner of the largest Realty Executives Brokerage in the world, with over 1,200 agents. Dale connected with Rich during one of our Realty Executives International Conferences. It was during that trip, that Rich shared the Dinner of Honor concept with Dale. Bringing quality agents to our Brokerage has always been important to us and Dale asked Rich to share a little about how he brought so many quality agents to his brokerage. The answer was simple…. You GET quality Sales Executives FROM quality Sales Executives. Rich went on to further explain the concept of the Dinner of Honor. You invite your Sales Executives to a dinner where you can honor and pour into them. Encourage them to invite a guest in the industry to join them for dinner and spend the evening sharing a meal, telling stories, laughing and honoring one another. Rich shared, it’s a great way for others to see who we are and the why behind everything we do. We immediately made plans to create our own version of the Dinner of Honor. Our very first Dinner of Honor was held in 2017 at Maggiano’s and three years later they are stronger than ever. We’ve added our little touches along the way. Sometimes there’s live music, sometimes there are games with prizes, sometimes there are spouses there that also get honored. One thing remains the same though… we get to continue honoring our current Sales Executives while having a great meal and great conversation! As a result of these special evenings, many Dinner of Honor guests have made the decision to join our Realty Executives family and we have been thrilled. If you are interested in inviting a guest in the industry to our next Dinner of Honor on June 18th, please reach out to us!

#ReadySetGrowth As we enter the summer season and our industry continues to push forward at a crazy pace, we recognize the wisdom in allowing some downtime to focus in on what we've learned and tend to life priorities.
