Here are some of their responses...

“I have many idols when it comes to this topic. Each one of the agents at Re/Max are unique in different ways. They have their niches and are good at that. I admire agents that can do that and focus on those traits that they are good at. They also know when they are in over their heads on something and are willing to ask, or call in an agent that they know is more familiar with what they are working on. Our business is all about professionalism, the majority of the agents that I deal with in our board hold that title well.”

“Norm Gregory. He is a man of integrity. Unfortunately, in these times, it is difficult to trust people based upon their word. Norm is one of those rare individuals that you can trust without putting pen to paper. I have had the pleasure of working with Norm in a couple of transactions. He holds the prestigious CCIM designation and as the senior site selector for Mercedes Homes, he is a true expert in land acquisitions. The North Florida community is fortunate to have a man such as this working in the real estate industry.”

—Justin Clark, Skinner Land

“My partner, Parker Arruda. While she has not been in real estate sales a long time, she has been in sales a long time. She is a true sales person. She makes sure she is very knowledgeable of our product, the competitors, and what the client wants. She uses all this to make the sale a win-win situation. She has a great attitude, is fair and is forceful enough to follow through in a way that everyone wants to work with her. She inspires me to be a better salesperson myself.”

“This is a tough one. I am so fortunate to have joined a company that has more than its fair share of high achievers. Everyone in my office, Prudential Network Realty in Mandarin, is helpful, supportive and patient beyond belief. The one real estate agent, who has my eternal gratitude is Sheron Willson, Prudential Network Realty’s director of training. Somehow she managed to answer everyone of my sometimes very dumb questions. She encouraged me when I was ready to throw in the towel. She sat at my office for two hours while I wrote up my first contract. She returned my calls at all sorts of odd hours. She taught me how to turn an open house into a real event. Without her, I might not have stuck it out my first year. With her, I closed almost $3 million in business in a year.”

“Mike Carter, an agent with Re/Max Real Estate Specialists. He really seems to have it together. In my opinion, he is successful and a true family man.”

—David L. Wakefield,

“My broker, Fred Cattar, who is my boss and my husband. He has many gifts, among them wisdom, patience, kindness and care. All the things that a broker needs. And he is honest!! I wish I had a half of his patience. He has a great business mind too.”

—Jenet Cattar,

“The agent I would desire others to emulate is Donna Delegal with Re/Max on San Jose Boulevard in Mandarin. Donna is experienced, very professional and has superb interpersonal skills. Additionally, when she is with a client she is very perceptive to their needs regardless of their home buying experience, economic status or cultural background. Prior to viewing any property or meeting another agent Donna has completed her homework and has briefed the home buyer on important factors about the neighborhood, homes, construction, warranties and other relevant social and physical aspects of that area, as well as the builders size, reputation and response to their needs. Donna always sets a standard for other agents and brokers to emulate.”
