DIONNE BARNES | COVER FEATURE Dionne Barnes: • Loving Matriarch • Authentic Friend • Generous Giver • Skillful Guide • Servant Leader • Humble Mentor Years ago, as a very young Broker/Owner just beginning to build Realty Executives Integrity, a dear friend advised me to surround myself with leaders that are more talented than me. Dionne Barnes fits that description. Dionne constantly looks for ways to improve the lives of others, and freely shares her knowledge built over years of experience. As an key Agent Leader in our company, Dionne has provided insights from a perspective that challenges me to grow stronger, deeper, and better in every area of leadership. Our entire Realty Executives Family has been blessed by Dionne’s care and concern for the good of us all. In the process, she has become a trusted friend and advisor, and has worked hard to make Realty Executives Integrity the best place to do real estate. It is with great pleasure that we celebrate Dionne this month! With Gratitude,
-Dale
WHY REALTY EXECUTIVES
“
“I have chosen to experience the best of my career with Realty Executives Integrity because I can be my authentic self and design my business how I want to with full support. It is refreshing to know that the leadership of this company loves and cares for every Executive regardless of their production. I believe it is a blessing to be aligned with a company that has leadership that is willing to have very transparent dialogue about a very tough topic during a tough time . I love that the culture of our company is full of love, encouragement and transparency. Yes, this is the right place for me to soar!! 3

“FEELS LIKE HOME, LIVES LIKE FAMILY” By Adam Zastrow
My Grandparent’s house was just one of those homes. Right in the heart of West Allis, it was a gathering place for countless people for over 6 decades. Their house was by no means a big, fancy house. Yet my grandparents knew how to fit truckloads of laughter and great memories into that 1,400-square foot home. Family, friends, & neighbors would frequently stop-by for “quick visits” that turned into several hours. (Maybe it was a long conversation about science fiction with my Grandma that began with returning a borrowed book. Or maybe a couple beers with my Grandpa in his shop that began with returning a borrowed tool. Sometimes it was a Packer party in which the game went into overtime. Or a Christmas party that went till midnight.) It didn’t matter the reason. Once you came, you didn’t want to leave. Everyone was welcome as strangers quickly became friends, and friends became family. It always felt like home. And the family gatherings! Those were my favorite as a child. Our McLean family gatherings were times for me to reconnect and share stories with all my cousins, some of whom I hadn’t seen in months, sometimes years! Our family also “adopted” many people who we weren’t biologically related to, but still considered family. We would connect over tons of delicious food, find out what’s new in each other’s lives, and play games together for hours. The sound of rock music from the stereo and the smell of food on the grill in the background are nostalgic to me. Those are some of my favorite memories. More than anything, there was a strong sense of belonging. Everyone who attended those family gatherings had a place at the table. They were reminded, more by actions than by words, that they were loved and appreciated. I later realized that many times, my grandparents would find out about someone who had fallen on hard times at those gatherings. My Grandpa would take them off to the side and generously give them what they needed to get by for a while. He & Grandma taught us to truly take care of others as if they were your own family. The reason Claire and I fell in love with Realty Executives Integrity is because it’s unlike any company we’ve ever seen. It feels much more like a family than a corporation. Every day, I experience sights and sounds between our offices similar to what I experienced at my grandparent’s house when I was a child. It’s the way Morgan Schnabl welcomes a new Executive into Success Coaching and makes them feel supported as they take their first steps in real estate. It’s the handshakes and hugs as Mary Edwards helps a young couple close on their very first home. It’s the encouraging “palabras” that Dale gifts at our Dinners of Honor. It’s the applause from hundreds of people as Gene Anderson receives his Legend Award. It’s the smiles and laughter as Noah and Micky record another fantastic video for one of our Sales Executives. It’s the way our community is always so willing to help each other’s businesses with selfless generosity. (I could go on, but Haley gave me a limit on how long this article should be.) I’m so grateful for my Realty Executives Integrity family. I can’t wait for our Family Reunion on September 9th. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with all of you, telling some stories, and sharing in the ups & downs of life. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that it will feel like home and live like family.

GET TO KNOW | HALEY REYNOLDS Almost immediately after meeting Haley in her initial interview for Realty Executives Integrity, we knew without a doubt that she’d be a perfect fit for this company. Haley exudes joy everywhere she goes and we are very lucky to have her! She began with our company by working at the front desk in our Hartland Office, but she quickly realized a desire to help our Executives grow their businesses in the areas of marketing, communication and social media. Now, as our “Director of Communications and Social Media”, Haley loves being able to help ALL our amazing Executives grow their businesses through the different types of social media platforms with creative and engaging content. Every day, she readily and enthusiastically meets with Executives to teach them how to maximize their reach on Facebook, or how to come up with creative new posts for Instagram. “I love helping our Executives realize that social media doesn’t need to be intimidating. I also enjoy building relationships of trust with our Executives by serving them and getting to know their stories.” In addition to helping our entire company in the areas of social media and communication, Haley also obtained her real estate license. Her personality, character, and talents have allowed her to become a great Realtor® in addition to everything else she does so well. She has been working her way through Morgan’s Success Coaching program and will be graduating soon! Haley carries a passion for all her work that is contagious. She says, “I’m still in disbelief that I can wake up every day and do what I do at Realty Executives Integrity. I feel so blessed!” As a true lifelong learner, Haley aspires to continue learning, growing, and working hard to continue to get better and help many more people in our company. “Any success I achieve for Realty Executives Integrity is rooted in my appreciation for our Executives and my love for what I do.” Haley emboldens a spirit of adventure. When she’s not serving others at Realty Executives Integrity, you’re likely to find her spending time outdoors. She enjoys going on hikes with her boyfriend, Max, often bringing their two dogs along with them. Haley said, “If I could hike and explore National Parks all day, every day, I would!” Haley also enjoys spending time with her family and playing tennis. Some fun facts: Haley graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Business. Also, she’s a total animal lover! She has two dogs and a cat. Their names are Everest, Denver & Theo. As you get to know Haley, you’ll quickly notice her humble heart and her enthusiasm for helping others. She’s kind, creative, and smart! And she is always eager to serve you and your business!

It really helped build a strong foundation for my business I’ve learned so many best practices from Morgan’s weekly coaching classes, and it was so nice having an extra set of eyes to look over all my contracts. I’m very thankful for this experience!”

“‘It is never too late to reinvent yourself’ was a frequent theme I taught my students in the literacy program at the local jail where I most recently taught. When Peter Sylvester asked me to join his team, I decided to take my own advice! Peter told me that Realty Executives Integrity gives you the independence to create your business with the support and resources to help make is successful. I couldn’t agree more!” LynneRobertsonl@RealtyExecutives.com

“I joined real estate to stay connected with people, as my role changed as an HR professional it seemed I had lost the personal touch with people. Interacting with them on a personal level was gone, experiencing that feeling when I do something to add value to their lives was missing. Real estate was one way to get that feeling back as home ownership is one of the greatest accomplishments for many. I met Dionne via Facebook she scrolled across my feed and I just reached out to her knowing I needed a change. She was responsive, was very knowledgeable and her energy was great even at 9:30pm! Meeting Adam, Claire, Haley and the rest of the team was pretty good, their energy was amazing, I loved it right away. I got to sit in on Morgan’s success class and the interaction had me hooked. So far I’m enjoying my time with Realty Executives. I’m looking forward to learning and growing continuously with the team.

“The reason I got into real estate was originally for the investment side of it. I figured out very quickly that this was an amazing industry and the passion began to grow. Once I realized how much of a positive impact I could make on peoples lives, it wasn’t long before I switched from construction to real estate full time in order to help people live the lives of their dreams.
Referred By: Miranda Zuege
I chose to join Realty Executives because not only did one of their agents (Miranda Zuege- she’s amazing) help me with investments, but the overall sense of community is second to none. I’m glad to be part of such an amazing group of people that as a whole, can create a massive positive impact together.” ColinONeill@RealtyExecutives.com

“I was born and raised in Madison and have worked there my whole life. Investing in real estate began in my early twenties and I have enjoyed growing my portfolio in areas around Madison. Listening to music and playing games is how I spend my free time. I am competitive but love to have fun in the process.
Referred By: Tonya Thomsen
Joining the Thomsen Team at Realty Executives Integrity is a perfect way to spend my time since I have retired from teaching. Tonya and I started out as teenagers working and having fun. And over 40 years later, we’re still together working and having fun. Realty Executives Integrity has an amazing support system, with so many people behind the scenes I know I will be able to ensure each customer a professional experience from beginning to end.” LuciaRowley@RealtyExecutives.com

“The reason I chose to be a part of Realty Executives Integrity above any other real estate company is because I truly admire & respect the heartbeat of the people here. I love how everyone I have met is like family and truly wants everyone to prosper. In the short time that I have known Dale, I love how passionate & genuine of a leader he is. I love the fact that a home is one of the biggest investments/ purchases that most people dream of. It is such a great feeling that I get to play such an intrical part in making that dream a reality!

““I initially started at Realty Executives Integrity for the same reason we all start new jobs-- the convenience. It was close to home and to the college that I am attending, but in the short time I have worked here it has grown into so much more than just a job. The Realty Executives Integrity team has turned into my family. I love coming into work because of the people- the family- that I work with. The gratefulness, compassion, and understanding that I see from those in leadership positions here is unprecedented. It has given me room to grow and learn without feeling the daunting pressure of perfection from my superiors. So, this has become more than just a job; this has become an opportunity to grow as a professional alongside my family.”

HOW WE GIVE BACK
The Realty Executives Wisconsin Region believes that community support and outreach is incredibly important. We actively support the following charitable organizations and each one is connected personally with a member of the Realty Executives Wisconsin brand. 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.
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
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. 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”.

TIME TO CELEBRATE TINA FERLINDES 34 Year Anniversary
I have been with Realty Executives for 34 years! Time sure flies! I have lots of reasons I love of being with this amazing company... and my favorite aspect of Realty Executives is its people. Our people are the heart of this company. It is wonderful being surrounded by colleagues, staff & leadership that all have a like philosophy of servitude, kindness and the desire to be the best we can be, in big and small ways alike. We truly are a family that helps one another, works together and really want to make a difference. The support and freedom that I enjoy at Realty Executives has helped me grow my business and better serve my clients. After being in the business 35 years I have learned a lot! I have learned that the work is important.When I first started selling real estate I was awfully young..just 21 years old. At that time, no one talked with me about the value of what we do and the impact of our skills & our guidance or how that affects those we serve. I learned along the way that doing my best, doing the work....that comes first, the rest will come. The closing is not about me. I would also tell my younger self to set goals early on and and enjoy each day as it comes...good, bad or otherwise. When asked what I love most about being a real estate agent, the answer is simple: My people! (yes, they are my people!) I love being a part of such an important and special time in their lives. I value the friendships that I have made along the way...and it is so amazing to see my clients become friends. I love seeing them grow through different phases in their lives, and being a part of that. It is such so much fun, a true joy and an honor for me. Nothing better than helping Grandma & Grandpa, parents, kids, and siblings all in the same family!

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!

“Jodi and I started working together when I first got into the business in 2005. Since then I’ve worked with hundreds of different agents and I must say Jodi continues to be one of the best. There is no wonder she is a top producer not only on the state level but nationally as well. She is extremely knowledgeable in the real estate industry and always has her clients best interests in mind. She is a true professional in all aspects. Together we continue to service the Lake Country area and lake residents as well. I don’t know how many transactions we have done together but I hope there are many more! Cheers to you Jodi, and thank you very much. Pete Bethke | (414) 405-8065 You are the best!” - Scott Halverson | (414) 975-0784
“
“I have been sending my buyers to Scott Halverson to secure home loans for over 15 years. The real estate business is complex as it is, so working with Scott and A+ gives me much comfort that my buyers are being taken care of in the best way possible. It also allows me to focus on the transaction and my customers more because I am not having to worry about my buyers loan getting approved or closing on time. I also know my customers will be given an extremely competitive (if not the best) rate along with superior service and knowledge of the mortgage business. As a higher volume top producer, having a lender that provides all of this to me is a must.” - Jodi Olson | (262) 370-4764
