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

Dear William Raveis Family, We are exploring several opportunities to expand our company footprint over the coming months. Recently, Matt Lane and I visited friends who showed us around the historic neighborhoods and beautiful beaches in Savannah, Georgia. It's a gorgeous area, which explains why so many people from the Northeast are flocking to the region...and having a local office to service them makes sense. Next, we enjoyed visiting our wonderful agents and employees in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island before stopping by the Hampton Hall office. The renovation is coming along nicely, and we anticipate meeting our January move-in date. At William Raveis, our strategic plan is to buy like-minded real estate firms, or open new branches from Savannah to Charleston. During our visits, Matt and I spent time scouting office locations and interviewing agents. Our family-oriented company resonates with the local community. Savannah is the oldest city in the U.S., and Charleston is a lively college town but just a short two-hour drive away. Our acquisition spree is building momentum--stay tuned! The University Dayton School of Business, my alma mater, invited me to be their Keynote Speaker earlier this month. They had a large gathering of over 500 freshmen, upper classmen, and leadership teams who came out to hear my advice on, "Business as a Calling". After reading my little book, "The Ten Noble Rules of Compassionate Leadership", the students brought great questions to our discussions on entrepreneurialism. You can see photos of us having fun with the #1 and a welcome reception hosted by the University President, Eric Spina, and the Deans. We had a terrific visit. At our Advisory Council meeting in December, we'll be discussing details of our NEW Elite Concierge Services for Buyers, and Lisa Carpenter (CMO) will share a preview of our beautiful agent-branded marketing materials prior to our launch. Go Team! With gratitude, Bill

We're thrilled to welcome Russell Baboff to the team! With his expertise and dedication, we're excited to make your home-buying journey seamless and stress-free!
