Some of the key benefits of Carpenter Real Estate
Support
- OUR OWNERS: Kay DaSilva, Michael Brown and Michael DaSilva are the owners and are readily available to help with contracts, listings, buyer agreements, marketing, and business plans, technology, etc. Michael Brown is the designated broker, but Michael D and Kay are also brokers. Additionally, Kay is the past Regional Director for the Lone Star Chapter of CRS (Certified Residential Specialists), one of the premier designations available to REALTORS. Michael DaSilva is a Past Chairman of the ABoR Foundation, the philanthropic arm of ABoR. Both of them serve tirelessly on committees and other volunteer opportunities to make our industry the best it can be!
- OUR AWARD-WINNING BROKERS: Kay DaSilva was honored as the Broker of the Year by Platinum Top 50 in 2013, and Michael DaSilva took home the award in 2016! We are so honored and humbled to have been chosen for this distinguished award not once, but twice!
- OUR SUPPORT STAFF: Serving REALTORS is what we do and we are always available to provide support and help as needed. Our Marketing Director Rebecca Mast is truly the best of the best, and is an amazing resource for our agents!
- OUR TRAINING: We have regular training meetings and we train on topics that are important to busy REALTORS – not just “Contracts 101”. We cover the gamut of topics that help you close more transactions and create clients for life! And in today’s climate of commission lawsuits, we are laser focused on educating our agents about all the contract and form changes that continue to be pushed out to keep us all out of trouble!
Tools
- Transaction Management and Support. Going paperless is great, but also can get disorganized quickly. That’s why we have invested in a fantastic tool that organizes all your timelines, paperwork and contacts within each transaction. And, more importantly, it allows us to do what a broker should do – review your paperwork and keep us all compliant with the ever-changing forms.
- Property Websites. We have a marketing program that lets you create as many as you need for all your listings, at no cost. It is very easy to use and set up.
- Discounted Printing. We have a strong discount through a top-quality vendor for all of your printing needs from property flyers, brochures, postcards, direct mail, and much more. The material is just beautiful!
- Multiple MLS Memberships. Whether it’s Central Texas MLS, ABoR (Unlock MLS), or Highland Lakes, sometimes you have unique listings that require a unique approach to marketing. We have strategically chosen several of the best-performing MLS systems to join in order to maximize the exposure that our clients receive for their properties.
- A True CRM. Client Relationship Management is the backbone of a successful real estate career, and we provide our agents with this invaluable tool, hardwired into their personal websites. And don’t worry; your database belongs to you, so no worries about your broker adding your clients to their databases. We not only provide you the tool, we show you how to make it work for you!
- Professional Listing Books that we create and customize for you. These are available printed and online, so they’re available to your prospects to review prior to a face-to-face meeting.
- Marketing Staff. We create brochures/marketing materials: We can create the flyers for your listings and all other marketing needs. There is no fee for creating the materials, and all the costs are a straight pass-through expense — no profit center here!
- Second Homes. We have a website to promote the second home/vacation home market in the Texas Hill Country & Texas Coast. Our agents provide content for their specialty areas, and there are more territories available – this is a fantastic listing tool for developers/builders! Check out SecondHomeSearch.com; see what you think!
