RJ Wagner & Associates Realty, Inc., will focus on the real estate needs in the Houston and surrounding areas. Our target customer will be, and our concentration will focus on the representation of, homesellers, homebuyers, relocation clientele.

To be the success we are striving to become this corporation realises it must place a tremendous concentration on its in-house licensed agents. The agents with this firm will be supported and assisted to the best of our ability.

5.1 Competitive Edge

The corporate broker of this firm has a published real estate book (Texas Real Estate/The Mobile Mentor). This book and the accompanying organisational programmes, are distributed throughout the state of Texas in real estate book stores and associations. This book was written for the novice agent which will be provided to oncoming agents as a reference tool, therefore, allowing a fast start programme.

This firm allows "Top Commissions" to the agents allowing for more agent advertising and marketing promotions. This firm is highly supportive to the agent it sponsors in the respect of compliance with agent listing tasks. All of which free the agent's time to do what the agent is trained to do and that is to sell and gain clients.

This firm has a marketing plan in place for agents to utilise. The company will be assisting all agents in goal setting/planning and in their marketing techniques/strategies. Even though the agents are independent contractors, this firm will run as a team. The open door policy will be in place at all times inviting new ideas and suggestions.

In addition, please reference the Services section for an outline of our services offered to in-house agents, our sellers and our buyers. All services offered to each provide this corporation with a competitive edge, for we know of no other firm offering the extensive services we provide.

5.2 Sales Strategy

• Sales in our business is gaining property listings and utilising a marketing plan that works best for the client.
• We locate and match homes to buyers according to the criteria submitted by the buyer.
• We assist in relocating clients to their new destinations and/or assist clients relocating to our area in their home search. We offer an excellent referral service anywhere in the United States.
• We search for lease properties for individuals wishing to lease versus purchasing.
• We allow above-standard commission percentage rates, then provide excellent marketing and advertising programmes.
• We provide our selling agents with an excellent support programme as well as guidance.

Each potential seller listing or buyer representation we receive should be treated as an individual mission. Each client and client property must be analysed to ensure our marketing programme supplied fits their particular property and promotes it in the best possible way.
