Today we’d like to introduce you to Scott Myers.
Hi Scott, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I got the idea of going into real estate because my mother took me to the career center at SMU when I was about 16 years old in order to get some idea of what type of career would be a good fit for me. After taking aa battery of tests, the career counselor said that I would be good at sales as long as I believed in the product or service that I was selling. After college, I had two jobs, and during the 2nd one, I had some vacation time that I used to take the pre licensing course in order to take the state licensing exam. I did this because my mother and grandmother reminded me of the findings at the career center when i told them I was not happy with the job I had.
I started in the real estate business in Feb. of 1974 as a salesperson for the Guy Chipman Company.
I opened my own brokerage in July of 1979.
We have full time real estate professionals with a couple of exceptions.
Our office has about 35 salespeople.
It would require alot of time to explain how I got to where I am over 46 years, but to get started, I got alot of help from a Century 21 broker that was a friendly competitor, and have always been selective on who we will let work as salespeople for us.
I cam expand on all this later when you call.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
We have been through many challenges. Examples are the foreclosure crisis in the late 1980s, the recession from 2007-2011, the pandemic, heightened interest rates since 2002.
Other challenges are disruptive business models that appeal to particularly newly licensed salespeople which present recruiting challenges.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We are a 46 year old company which makes us stable. We work in all phases of real estate, residential, commercial, farm and ranch, property management, and relocation.
I feel that the public knows they can trust us to take care of their real estate needs.
We have received the Pinnacle Quality Service award every year since the award was created – 2002. This is an award based on the responses of our clients and customers from a survey they all receive, and are asked to answer. For the last three years, we have received the Century 21 Presidents award. This is an award that means we have received the Pinnacle Quality Service award, and the Centurion award in the same year. The Centurion award is the highest award an office can win in terms of sales production.
Just last week, we received an award from Google stating that our office is rated in the Top 5 for this year as far as Google customer satisfaction, reputation, and service excellence based on our Google reviews.
As far as our salespeople go, we provide them numerous referrals, leads, loads of training, and help on the spot. We are lucky to have a support staff that are brilliant people, and always helpful to our salespeople.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
To be respectful of our salespeople, and our clients, and customers, and be available when they need me.
