YOUR Path to Mastery
- Genuine - Loyal - Dedicated - Teachable - Humble - Best Friend My journey of friendship over the past several years with Adam Poehlman is one of the most rewarding in life. I love the story of when Adam first joined our Realty Executives Family, set his goal at $50,000 and then I “made” him double that number. A year later, Adam sent a message to me that revealed he had actually doubled “my number” - meaning, he quadrupled his goal! But, Adam has taught me that life is less about the money, and more about the relationship. And in sharing those lessons with me, more by his actions than by his words, Adam has changed my life for the better. Congratulations Adam, and thank you for your many years of dedicated excellence to those you serve so well! With Gratitude,
- Dale 3
YOUR VISION IS OUR BUSINESS By Dana Keegan
Recently I began to enjoy a “Minute with Maxwell” to start each day. This 60 second video gives me nuggets of inspiration, truth and purpose to chart my course for the day. It’s a reminder for me that what influences and shapes my life happens between my ears, not a response to actions outside my control. On his last video, John focused on the word navigation. In the 21 Laws of Leadership, there is a concept called the “Law of Navigation” and it focuses on intentional steps to arrive at the destination.
According to the dictionary, navigation is defined as “the process or activity of accurately ascertaining one’s position, planning and following a route.”
As a small business owner, navigation is one of the most essential attributes you can possess. Navigation allows you to see the big picture for your business and break it down into achievable daily habits to produce a desired result. Think of it as being the architect of your life, not the laborer. Navigation affords you the opportunity to course correct when waters get choppy or become flat. In real estate, we can relate that to drowning in business or adrift without enough.
Navigation also becomes a mindset when “disrupters in the marketplace” make seemingly bold and unexpected moves. The most successful captains know that service and relationships always cross the finish line first and will never be replaced by big tech bling or promises. If 2020 taught us anything, it was the importance of staying connected to friends, family and community.
One of the biggest privileges we have as your support teams and a Partner in your business, is to help you chart your course for success. A path uniquely your own which honors your goals.
Your vision is our business.
With Abundance,
- Dana Keegan

This is our highest level training, known as a Graduate Level Course focused on building a Salable Business. Team Building Success is a focus that will propel your business to a new level of profitability. This class is dynamic, challenging, and very rewarding! Reach out to Dale if you have any questions about Star Power 101 & Star Power 201: Dale@RealtyExecutives.com
“I have to admit that going to a class whether virtual or in person is not my favorite activity. No matter how wide awake I am, the minute I get settled in my seat I begin to get antsy and my eyes start to close. However this was not the case with the Star Power Class. We met once a month as a group to discuss the subject dujour and learn the various components of how to build a team. During the time between sessions there was a selected book to read and a smaller group activity. While our group brought different perspectives to our discussion on the book, more important to me was the brainstorming on how we were personally building our teams. Between reading and discussing the books and listening to the monthly presenters my takeaway was that there are many ways to form a team, some contrary to what we were initially thinking. Overall well spent time. Thanks to the partners in REI for presenting and spending your afternoon with us.” - Lorie Wertheimer

“I am in Real Estate because I love building relationships and helping people. Being able to connect with others, learn their story all while helping them through, what is likely, the greatest investment of their life is a thrill and complete joy. Coming to Realty Executives Integrity from my past Brokerage became an easy choice once I looked into what others had to offer. Frankly, it is the only place I found that was truly about investing in YOU and not spending time boasting their name. This is important to me because I believe that people buy from people, not a company name. Most importantly, I chose Realty Executives Integrity because of the people who are a part of the organization. It is obvious that, once you enter any of the offices and begin meeting people, there is a different vibe and you can feel the standard of excellence and integrity.”

When Jim joined his wife Jodie to help form Team Perzacki ten years ago, he was still working his job with the Fire Department. His goal at that time was to continue his own real estate investing, and support Jodie in sales. Jim has not only met all those goals, he has far exceeded his highest expectations. And there’s a reason why Jim has become so successful and sought after for his real estate expertise. He cares about his customers and builds relationships of trust that lead to more and more business. Jim has also been a constant learner, and has followed his path to success by completing Buffini Training and Star Power Training along with Jodie. A true leader, Jim tends to speak softly and leads by example of his actions. I have found Jim to be very humble, kind, a tremendous husband and father, and it is my privilege to call him “friend”! Thank you Jim for your loyalty and dedication over many years, and thank you for making Realty Executives Integrity a better place to work! With Gratitude,

Thinking Outside of the
Sharing the top ideas from our Executives on creative, unique & awesome tips that will help your business!
“Seller objections on price: In this current market, I don’t like to lose a listing on price so, if there’s objection on price: If you want to put yourself more in the driver seat from beginning to end, I would recommend pricing here at $*****. However, Mr. & Mrs. Seller, this is your property, so you decide where you want to price your property. It’s my job to give you all the MLS data and recommend a list price based on my experience in addition to the hundreds of properties I have shown and sold over the years. I control the marketing, exposure, and how the house is presented, but the market ultimately controls and determines value.”
“
- Jodi Olson| 262.370.4764
“During a seller’s market, it can be tough to get your offers accepted. Feverishly waiting for your client’s dream home can feel like an emotional rollercoaster, not just for your clients, but for you as a buyer’s agent as well. My suggestion stop waiting. Create the market for your buyers! My tip:
Have your buyers write out why they love the specific neighborhood/subdivision they want to move. Make it sweet, to the point and all about them. You can do this in a hand written letter or fancy postcard. Either way be proactive! “

EXPERIENCE A
Dinner of Honor
NEXT DINNER IS MARCH 23RD, 2021 | 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!

CRS Designation | Hear from Our Executives “While I got my start in real estate by calling FSBO’s, Expireds, & Cold Calls, I wanted to find another way that wasn’t such a grind & CRS was the answer. A few of the classes I took to get the designation in 1999, showed me different ways to become “The Realtor of Choice” and I haven’t had to depend on those early activities since.”
- Steve Bergelin | SteveBergelin@RealtyExecutives.com Do YOU have any questions about the CRS Designation? Reach out to Executive Tonya Thomsen (Regional Vice President for RRC) or Executive Gene Anderson (2021 WI RRC President)!
