REALTY EXECUTIVES EXCEPTIONAL REALTORS® SELECTED AS “BROKERAGE OF THE MONTH” FOR MARCH 2017

Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® has been named the Brokerage of the Month for March 2017. The firm, which recently celebrated 15 years with the Realty Executives brand, continues to dominate their local market, opening new offices, garnering national recognition and serving the local community in meaningful ways.  The company currently has offices in Butler NJ, Byram NJ, Dover NJ, Fairfield NJ, Little Falls NJ, Oakland NJ, Pompton Plains NJ, Randolph NJ, Sparta NJ, Vernon NJ, Wayne NJ, West Milford NJ, Woodland Park NJ and Milford PA.

On March 31, 2017 REAL Trends recognized Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® in the REAL Trends 500 Report, which ranks the top 500 residential real estate companies by sales volume and closed transaction sides. In the 2017 ranking, Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® climbed 69 spots in the annual nationwide report, placing at #413 by 2016 transaction sides. The firm was also the only brokerage in the Fairfield, New Jersey area that made the list.

Under the leadership of partners Kyle Poskitt, COO, and President, Doug Radford, Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® opened four new branches in the last year, including Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® Butler, Oakland, Wayne, and Dover, bringing the brokerage office count to 14 locations.

“Supporting our Executives and putting them first is what sets us apart from the competition,” Radford explains.  Providing the back-end support that high producing agents require to be successful has been a focus for Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® from day one. “We run a support center where we provide administrative, marketing and technological support to our Executives.  We feel that our associates should be the rainmakers, focusing on what they do best, building relationships and servicing their clients,” says Poskitt.

“There is no other brokerage in New Jersey that has a support center like ours. We recognize that a brokerage is only as good as the agents associated with the company. The goal of our support team is to give our associates more time to be client-facing and to assist them in winning more listings and growing their business. Our hope is that if we provide the very best support to our Executives, that they, in turn, will provide the very best service to their clients and everyone wins,” adds Radford.

Radford and Poskitt have developed a strategy that is working. Based on year-over-year closed transaction data from the Garden State Multiple Listing Service, Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® is the fastest growing real estate company, growing by 38% in 2016. The numbers compare real estate brokers with at least 1,000 closed transaction sides included in the GSMLS last year.

Demonstrating excellence in real estate and ensuring a smooth transaction for buyers and sellers is not the only way Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® gives back. Recently more than sixty Executives, support staff, and affiliates completed four days of volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. The group came together to help construct new homes in Dover, New Jersey for families in need.

As a company and through the efforts of individual Executives and staff, Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® actively supports numerous New Jersey causes and organizations, giving generously of their time, talents and resources.

Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® Agent Promotes Youth Heart Health Through National Association of REALTORS® Volunteering Works Program

True leaders inspire us to do great things.  Matchup one successful leader with another and the possibilities are endless.  This is exactly what the National Association of REALTORS® Volunteering Works award aims to achieve, as it annually awards grant money to select REALTORS® who work on small-scale charitable programs and connects them with a mentor who can help them amplify their efforts, often inspiring new goals and direction. 

In 2015, Executive Sandy Rubolotta of Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® Pompton Plains, in Pompton Plains, N.J., was just one of five national recipients to receive the 2015 Volunteering Works award for her work with the Deborah Hospital Foundation Greater Pompton Area Chapter.  Deborah Hospital is a facility that treats patients regardless of their ability to pay. 

As part of the award, Rubolotta was paired up with Dave Philp who has worked for decades with the Ridgeview Medical Center in western Minneapolis and brings extensive fundraising expertise to the mentoring relationship.  As for the results? 

“His words are clearly engraved in my memory and I think of them often. ‘Make your fundraisers into FRIENDRAISERS, and the funds will follow.’ This is my new philosophy,” Rubolotta says.  

Rubolotta utilized the awarded funds to promote charitable events on social media and in other public outlets. 

“We have promoted our events using our website, banners, posters, direct mailings and networking through our National Headquarters at the hospital. The director of support services has informed me that we are slowly becoming a regional chapter,” Rubolotta explains. 

As a result, several new members have been referred to Rubolotta through neighboring chapters, and volunteers participating in local fundraisers have also joined the Greater Pompton Area Chapter.  This has brought new energy and ideas to light. 

One of which is the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Screening Program, a new project primarily for teens between the ages of 12 and 18.  Sudden Cardiac Arrest takes the lives of 24 children per day in the target age group, and Rubolotta’s chapter is spearheading a major initiative to bring a team of Deborah’s cardiac specialists and specialized equipment up to North Jersey to make a difference.  The goal is to kick the program off in 2017 and screen some 300 student athletes for free. 

Those looking to support the Deborah Hospital Foundation don’t have to wait for next year to get involved. 

“It has always been our goal to bring awareness of Deborah’s mission to North Jersey because the hospital’s offerings are largely known only to those below the Driscoll Bridge, although the free services are open to all.  We are creating an ad journal, targeting support from businesses and professionals, to highlight the wonderful work of Deborah Heart and Lung Center and raise awareness of the screenings and other free programs,” Sandy explains. 

The ad journal will debut on December 1, 2016, at the chapter’s Theater Gala 2016, which will be held at the Barn Theatre in Montville, N.J.  Tickets for 9 to 5 The Musical based on the iconic movie of the same name are now available.  

Having once been a grateful and unexpected recipient of Deborah’s services herself, Sandy Rubolotta takes great joy in knowing that her chapter’s efforts may be instrumental in preventing the untimely death of a young person.  “My commitment to this wonderful and unique hospital is a lifelong mission,” she says.
