Dear William Raveis Family,
We had a terrific Town Hall last week. Over 1,500 agents registered, plus dozens of office Watch Parties came out to hear me, Chris, Ryan, and special guests, Elizabeth Crowley, Deb Lucci, Nikki McMann, and Stacy Young kick off our NEW Elite Concierge Services for Homebuyers program.
Every five-star experience, whether it is high fashion, fine dining, or luxury real estate, requires exceptional service at every touchpoint. William Raveis is leading the charge, starting in the Northeast! Ryan Raveis gave a great overview of our multilayered approach at Town Hall and Christa Ross is holding agent training on Feb. 7th and 18th. Here's a recap, and we have beautiful flyers available on Maxa:
Basic 2.5%. YOU are front and center; supported by William Raveis Mortgage and Insurance. The Homebuyer uses all three business lines to become a Diamond Customer. They will receive a timeless gift, along with a notecard recognizing you as their real estate agent. Home Connections works directly with the Buyer, helping to evaluate options and schedule connections for gas, electricity, security systems, and more.
Gold 3.0%. Next level up delivers added value to the Buyer. YOU introduce them to Relocation Management Resources (RMR) to make the move-in process seamless and stress free. Our turnkey concierge works directly with the Buyer, providing quotes and coordinating logistics for their upcoming move.
Platinum 3.5%. Selecting YOU as their Buyer Agent entitles them to use all the professional services listed above along with your Customized Platinum-Level Services gift.
Delivering top luxury services and achieving a 99% customer satisfaction rating is no easy feat. Which is why I am proud to report impressive company growth in 2024:
Willam Raveis Real Estate up 10%
William Raveis Mortgage up 25%
William Raveis Insurance up 40%
Title Insurance up 40%
Growing across our Northeast, Florida, and South Carolina regions!
Congratulations

Dear William Raveis Family,

Dear William Raveis Family,
Bigger & Brighter in 2025 ... what a perfect description of us! Expanding our luxury footprint across the Luxury Triangle and more-the Hamptons/North Fork, NYC/Westchester County, Palm Beach, Naples, Hilton Head, and Nantucket - connects the dots for both agents and clients. Cheers to our Strategic Growth Coaches & Sales Managers as 550+ agents, representing $1.2B+ volume, chose to join our family company last year. Leaning in and leading the industry is what we do best.
At Town Hall, we're rolling out our NEW Elite Concierge Services for Buyers. Our industry-first program elevates commissions with three levels: Basic (2.5%), Gold (3.0%), and Platinum (3.5%). By introducing Buyers to concierge services throughout their homebuying journey, we're helping them with essential activities, like home connections and moving management, that further aligns with our existing concierge mortgage and insurance services for a winning value proposition.
I'll kick off Town Hall with my thoughts on the marketplace. In the Northeast for instance, inventory remains light with many over asking price offers and cash deals happening. Ryan will give the mortgage industry update as well as ideas to help navigate these trends with William Raveis Mortgage. Thanks to our Florida team, William Raveis has #1 Market Share in Aqualane Shores, Olde Naples, and Port Royal where the average selling price is nearly $20M ... way to go!
Agents who consistently promote their business, send postcards and digital emails, call their SOI, and attend office training classes with Christa Ross and Cristy Dow will have the advantage this year. By the way, registration for the in-person Ninja Sales Training on February 24-27 is now open!
Please arrange Watch Parties within your offices and join me, Chris, and Ryan Raveis for a lively and informative Town Hall discussion on Wed., January 29 at 10AM - see you there!
Go Team!
With gratitude,
Bill

Dear William Raveis Family,
Thanks to our wonderful agents for their valuable input, we'll be officially launching our NEW Elite Concierge Services for Homebuyers, starting in the Northeast, at Town Hall on January 29, so mark your calendars!
At Town Hall, Ryan Raveis and Lisa Carpenter will be talking about our full-service luxury offerings and elevating your commission structure. A new addition for 2025 is our Elite Concierge Services program that has three tiers: Basic 2.5%, Gold 3.0%, and Platinum 3.5%. Each level has enhanced benefits to offer Buyers. Christa's training will begin in early February, and your Strategic Growth Managers previewed this exciting program and marketing flyers at our Productivity Council earlier today.
Our approach is twofold. First, innovating a unique program specifically for homebuyers. Second, differentiating William Raveis sales associates from others in the marketplace. We carefully interviewed and selected vendors to deliver professional concierge services. These like-minded partners will help you tie the bow, delivering exceptional luxury customer services across the Northeast:
OneSource Home Connections expertly handles many behind the scenes tasks for buyers, including connections for utilities, gas, water, electricity, internet, Smart Home security systems and more.
Relocation Management Resources is a moving management company that oversees high-quality household goods and moving services.
Coordinating every aspect, new homeowners will appreciate these elite services that manage and streamline the move-in process. My recommendation is Platinum level at 3.5%, the complete package. Also, we are leveling up our Diamond Customer program to present a timeless Tiffany gift to leave a lasting impression with the Buyer, replacing the prior closing credit program.
Please join us at Town Hall for a lively discussion and exciting rollout of our new Elite Concierge Services program and full-service offerings which
