Exhibitor Spotlight: Advance Realty - Booth #84
August 1, 2008
Here’s just one of the exhibitors you can meet at VAR’s Convention & Expo 2008, Advance Realty in Booth #84:
The economy is changing and with it, a shift among real estate consumers…both buyers and sellers. In the face of the current market, Advance made a record high sales increase in the year 2007 and 2008 has been a year of growth as we continue to expand our offices, attracting more associates instead of downsizing them.
This year’s March 14th issue of the Baltimore Business Journal ranked Advance Realty among the largest Real Estate firms in the Baltimore area. We moved ahead of last year’s seventh place ranking by securing sixth place among other well-known competitors. This increase is attributed to the residential real estate customer’s shift in favor of a lower commission model and to the company’s new Associate -centric systems. Our new web platform, Agent 360, functions as a corporate, office and agent website interface, housing multiple real estate sales and business building tools. Advance has also incorporated an Associate revenue sharing program and an online real estate university offering 24/7 web-based training, education and mentoring.
In addition to Advance, other major value oriented companies like the retail giant Wal-Mart have been embraced by the population due to the rising cost in gasoline, food and other increased living expenses. According the Washington Post, Wal-Mart’s same-store sales jumped up 3.9 percent after the stimulus check. Models such as these understand the need for a balance between price and quality during economically stressful times. Other discount retailers in nearly every other industry have seen a spike in sales even after the tax rebates as consumers try to save. The rising prices will continue to drive the masses to discounters of all kinds, allowing those with the bargains to reap the benefits.
