The Value of Team

Have you ever tried to do something on your own? Then later watched someone do the same thing but with a team involved? In most instances an effective team makes the process smoother and faster but the key word here is EFFECTIVE!

We knew from experience that we wanted to form a team that not only was effective for the client and the process but that also would provide a level of customer service that was greater than the competition. But finding the right elements (aka people) for the team can sometimes be a challenge. What a person brings to the table can be both positive and not so positive, right?

Several years ago, we were told that the best commercial agents are typically from a sports background and/or military which translates to them being easily coached and able to be on a team. Now taking the sports analogy a step further, it's obvious that we don't need a team full of quarterbacks or linebackers, our team needs to be balanced in order to be successful. Recruiting for all positions is important, looking at what the team already has in place and filling the voids is necessary.

A team needs to understand each others strengths as well and to do that we enlisted the expertise of Gallup Research and Strengthfinder 2.0. We started by having each member of the team purchase the book & take the online test to help identify their Top 5 strengths. Once we knew what each persons' strengths were, we had a better understanding of what strengths we needed to fill and also how to best utilize one another! www.strengthsfinder.com

Our team of 5 is strong and balanced with attributes that include Strategic, Analytical, Activator, Learner, Developer, Communication, Positivity and Woo! But most importantly we are committed to our clients and have made it our goal to be the best commercial real estate team in Orange County and in the process become highly recognized for providing service that exceeds our clients expectations.
