Continuing the Vision
Until the early seventies, real estate was a salesperson’s business. A home was a commodity to be bought and sold, like a used ‘69 Dodge. While hard work was a mainstay, the industry lacked a sense of professionalism. Many of the agents were part-timers and dabblers, and most offices were cramped and shabby. Things needed to change.
Enter John Jacobi. When he purchased Windermere in 1972, he had a simple vision for how the real estate company should be run: Hire the best people, give them undying support, pay attention to the needs of buyers and sellers, and give back to the communities you serve. For John, it was plain old common sense. For the industry, it was a revolution.
When considering a hire, John Jacobi asked himself a question. Will our company be that much better because of this person? He knew the young company would only succeed if he brought in good, honest human beings with imagination, spirit, and integrity. This Windermere family would prove to be the company’s greatest asset.
Today, at Windermere Real Estate Capital Group, we continue to follow John Jacobi’s vision and associate ourselves with the best people - those who are a cut above in their professionalism, generosity, and passion for the business. People who are committed to servicing their customers, their fellow agents, and their communities.

Getting SMART in 2010
It’s the beginning of the New Year. Most people are reflecting on 2009 asking themselves what they could have done better, what they did well, what they are thankful for and checking off their 2009 resolution list. With this time of reflection also comes the time to start thinking about goals for the New Year, both personally and professionally.
At some point in our lives, most of us have learned about the SMART system of goal setting.
Specific - Specific goals have a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal.
Measurable - By being able to measure you goals, it is much easier to stay on track.
Attainable - When goals are important to you, it is easier to figure out ways to accomplish them.
Realistic - You must be both willing and able to work for this goal.
Timely - If you do not have a timeframe, there is no sense of urgency.
At Windermere Real Estate Capital Group, we understand the significance of goal setting in your real estate business. We have designed our commission structure to be goal-driven and to follow the SMART guidelines. To learn more about our incentive based plan and to help you get started attaining your business goals for 2010, please call Shelley at 861.5048.
