This is the 100th Episode of the Real Estate Redefined Video Series.  I want to thank everyone for their feedback since we began this series in the fall of 2016.  Your words of encouragement and gratitude have been uplifting to our entire team.  Your recommendations for topics and ways to improve our content have been extremely helpful. Video is a powerful medium and we have been very aggressive leveraging video to deliver training, coaching and communicate updates in the company or industry.  In addition to Real Estate Redefined, we provide from The Field Friday with real life success stories of our amazing associates.   Kathy Connelly hosts the Qualify Broker Corner with helpful tips on legal, compliance and real estate law.  Megan Harbin hosts our popular Good To Know video training series on social media and our company tools.  Tony Floyd hosts Innovation Station with the latest in technology, marketing and process improvements.  In the last year, we had over 5 million video views. As I look at our company today, there are so many things to celebrate and be thankful.  Here are a few highlights: In 2018, our company achieved over $4 Billion in revenue. That is an incredible accomplishment from our humble beginings over 55 years ago. Last month, our parent company HomeServices of America was ranked the #1 real estate brokerage company in the RealTrends 500. Another incredible milestone.  I am so honored to work with leaders like Gino Blefari, the new CEO of HomeServices and Chairman and industry icon, Ron Peltier. At our Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Sales Convention, our company was recognized as the #5 Elite Broker in the entire global network. We were also #5 in Sunshine Kids donations with over $1.25 million dollars raised to date for kids with cancer.  Our challenge this year is to raise $5000 per office in addition to the other programs we will implement.  In fact, the Sunshine Kids will be holding a national event right her in Atlanta this summer. Several of our top associates received special recognition at the sales convention. Tonya Jones was the #9 individual associate in the entire global network.  Petersen Partners was #68 for teams and the Butler Swayne Team was #95.  We are so proud of all our award winners. Gino Blefari introduced the Forever Brand with comments from Berkshire Hathaway Chairman, Warren Buffett. Chris Stuart, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices introduced the new Forever Cloud platform – powered by Salesforce – the leading CRM in the world.  We moved Tony Floyd into the role of Chief Innovation Officer to work with the franchise teams and help drive these new programs so we can be an early adopter.  The new platforms will deliver many new advantages to our associates that will roll out over the course of 2019 and 2020.  This is the beginning of an exciting new journey that will take our performance to a higher level. I had the pleasure of celebrating our Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Award Winners at our Kickoff event in January. Chris Stuart had just been announced as the new CEO of the franchise and we were the first event he attended.  Then we had the Elite Associate Event for our top performers at historic Ansley Country Club.  Over 80% of our award winners last year had a better year than the prior year.  This group also had an average increase of 35% in volume versus the prior year.   That is amazing in a market that only grew a fee percentage points.  To celebrate these outstanding achievements, we are highlighting the award winners on digital billboards, extensive boosted social media ads and print ads in local papers.
