Cary Romer, New Home Counselor. Heritage Commons, Beazer Homes 

Q: How did you invest in your own success this year (ex. professional designations, sales training/classes, books)?

There are several ways that I invest in my own success in the real estate industry at Beazer Homes one of which is by the professional designations I have achieved.  They include:

  •  CSP  Certified New Home Sales Professional
  • MCSP  Master Certified New Home Sales Professional
  • MIRM  Member of the Institute of Residential Marketing
  • CAASH Certified Active Adult Specialist in Housing

I am also the Programs and Education Chairperson at the Sales and Marketing Counsel.  As the chairperson I am responsible for setting up educational breakfasts four or five times per year with guest speakers that include Meredith Oliver, Melinda Brody, John Palumbo and Bill Herring.  I also arrange classes for all NAHB designation programs at the Orlando, FL Sales and Marketing Counsel.

 

I enjoy reading sales periodicals to keep myself abreast of new sales and motivational techniques.  Some of the authors I follow are Bob Schultz, Tommy Hopkins, Dave Stone and Tony Robbins.

 

This year is the first year that the University of Central Florida has offered a masters degree in real estate.  I am currently enrolled in this program and plan to start my studies in the summer of this year.

Do you have a sales team you want to recognize for an outstanding achievement?  This award will be given quarterly. The winner(s) will be recognized at the SMC Breakfast and at their company's weekly sales meeting. This is an opportunity for free acknowledgment of your sales super stars. Submission information.
