"Anyone who knows Jessica well would readily agree that her best days in real estate are still ahead of her. She's a rising star in this industry and we're beyond grateful to support her as she continues to support everyone around her."
“When you have time, can I talk to you about real estate?” This was the question that launched Jessica Bonilla into her new career – a career that would change her life for the better! Jessica saw the ways that a career in real estate was a benefit to Teri Hayes and her family. So, when she reached out to Teri to discuss the possibility of getting into real estate for herself, Teri was more than happy to help Jessica get into the business.
The most amazing thing about Jessica Bonilla is the way she supports her family, friends, and colleagues. Jessica is as dedicated as they come. She is the proud Mom of two wonderful kids – Yami (14) and Yovanni (10). Together with her husband, Alex, they love to spend time as a family going on vacations to warm places, going out to eat at delicious local restaurants, and staying active in the community through extracurricular sports and activities.
She’s also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). Jessica uses this ability masterfully to serve those in her community who are deaf and/or hearing impaired. She has the communication skills to guide anyone and everyone through a real estate transaction successfully. Dana Keegan had this to say about Jessica, "What I love most about Jessica is that she'll go out of her way to help anyone in need. Family, peer, or neighbor, she loves people and it's why her business is successful. I greatly admire that she is serving the deaf community in real estate, which is close to her heart with her sister being hearing disabled. Did I also mention that her nails are always fabulous and family is number one in her world?"
Jessica currently serves as a vital member of our Agent Leadership Team. Together with our other talented leaders, Jessica helps make our company stronger and better. A most recent example is in how the Celebration Breakfast was reinvented this past Spring with new award categories, new presenters, and even a couple of DJ’s! In addition to this, Jessica is also one of our Office Ambassadors for our Brookfield Office, together with Erin Bodi. Jessica and Erin help organize quarterly lunch and learn opportunities for all our Sales Executives in Brookfield, and they help welcome all new Sales Executives who join that particular office.
When asked about Jessica, her friend and fellow Sales Executive, Teri Hayes, says it best. “It's crazy?to think how a simple question has had such a huge impact on so many people! ‘When you have time, can I talk to you about real estate?’ We had met before and had exchanged "hellos" and our children became great friends camping, but that day by the pool changed everything. Not only did I get to discuss one of my favorite subjects, real estate, but I also got to know Jessica. Since then, she has become one of my closest friends and most respected colleagues. I know that even when she is busy with her own family and career, she will always make time to talk to me about my family or to help my clients if I am not available, and she will treat them the same way that I would. Jessica is all about supporting people.”
It was 3 years ago when Jessica joined Realty Executives Integrity, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with her! She has taken her business to new levels each successive year that she’s been with us. Most recently, she’s won the 100% Award from Realty Executives International for her sales performance in 2022! Anyone who knows Jessica well would readily agree that her best days in real estate are still ahead of her. She’s a rising star in this industry and we’re beyond grateful to support her as she continues to support everyone around her. Congratulations, Jessica!
Welcome back home, Brittany Arata! Brittany returns to us from Keller Williams, and is joining the Move2Milwaukee team! We are so excited to have Brittany back home at Realty Executives Integrity!
Brittany has been a full-time real estate agent for the last 8 years, and 7 of those years were with Realty Executives Integrity. At Keller Williams, Brittany felt very disconnected, and didn’t feel at home, which led her back to us! “At Realty Executives Integrity you really feel like a family and there are SO many people I know I can call on when I need help”.
Brittany is joining the Move2Milwaukee team, led by Bob Arnold. Brittany first met Bob Arnold back in 2015, when he took her under his wing and mentored her. “I really align with the way Bob and the Move2Milwaukee team do business, he is a pro and there isn’t a problem he can’t solve. I’m extremely excited to represent the Move2Milwaukee team and grow as an individual and a professional”.
Brittany’s goals for 2023 are to help 24 families, or individuals buy or/and sell, and would also love to work with some first-time investors to get started on their journey to financial freedom.
We can’t wait to watch Brittany’s business GROW! #WeMoveWI
When the name Tina Catalonotte is mentioned, a picture of a dedicated friend who is willing to go the extra mile for you comes to mind. A friend in life who becomes your Realtor for life is a standard that comes naturally for Tina. Her business is based upon relationships of trust and she has earned the respect of her peers and rave reviews from her loyal customer base.
Tina is an original member of "YOUR Team" with a Brand Identity based upon creating an exceptional customer experience that is revealed in their slogan: "Your Team, How Can We Help?". Tina runs her business with that promise first and foremost, and the understanding that each customer is treated as a friend. In fact, the friendship that she develops with those she serves lives well beyond the closing of their transaction; it lasts a lifetime.
One of the things that are most impressive about Tina is her passion for educating others, to help them reach new heights. Not only is she always looking out for her customers' best interest while educating them along the way, she is also willing to help less experienced Realtors learn and grow. Many of our Sales Executives have benefitted from Tina's willingness to share her wisdom from her many years of success in her business.
Another top priority for Tina is Family. Tina and her husband AJ are passionate about supporting their community. In fact, you may run into them at one of the local beer gardens or music festivals in the area. To remain active, they recently took up the sport of pickleball and have been enjoying a little friendly competition while meeting new friends.
When they aren't enjoying all the beauty Wisconsin has to offer, they look for new areas to explore. This includes spending time with their two grown children: Tyler and Nathan, and travel that centers around hiking and skiing/snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains, or with the Waukesha Snowboard Team that they Coach.
We are blessed to have Tina's influence at Realty Executives Integrity and are proud of the way she continues the Legacy of YOUR Team as an example to be emulated.
We are grateful!
His smile says it all. Josh Theys LOVES real estate. At only 19 years old, Josh recently graduated from our Success Coaching Program with flying colors. He's the kind of guy who always shows up, eager to learn from others, and ready to help people however he can. Not only does he take advantage of every training opportunity he can at our brokerage, but Josh also has gone out of his way to help his own clients by going above and beyond. On several occasions, he has helped his clients do various home repairs and move furniture.
Josh is constantly looking for opportunities to assist other Sales Executives with their businesses. Whether it's showing homes or hosting open houses. He intentionally rented office space in our Brookfield Office near Jessica Bonilla, Rose Paul, and Teri Hayes so that he could learn from each of them. Here's a quote from Teri Hayes who has gone out of her way to mentor Josh over the past year: "When I met Josh, my first impression was that he was shy and quiet. What I didn't realize is that he was busy taking it all in - listening, learning, gathering his tools, and making his plans. Within a couple of months, Josh not only had a plan, but he also had a 16-year business plan. It was dated, detailed & put on paper. Shortly after that, he sold his 1st home, and then his 2nd, and then his 3rd. His plan was in action! A year later, Josh is one of the most driven people I have had the pleasure of working with. He is outgoing, funny, and dedicated to crushing those goals by providing the best service to his clients with care and attention. While I'm so proud to have the privilege to watch him grow, I can admit that it will be bittersweet when my phone stops ringing with his voice on the line saying, "Hi, Teri. So, I have a question...
Josh is the epitome of humble, hungry, and smart - a concept from Patrick Lencioni that we teach in many of our training sessions. Most recently, Josh has completed the Leadership Mastermind Class led by Aaron Zuege and Adam Zastrow. He has a detailed business plan that includes long-term goals in real estate sales, investment properties, and personal development and growth. There is no doubt that Josh will accomplish everything he puts his mind to. He certainly understands the importance of having a growth mindset and how to harness the power of setting goals and positive thinking. We are so honored to have Josh with us!
