Born from
a simple idea generated by an extremely tight housing market, The Elite
25© is a powerful network of 25 to 50 highly productive REALTORS®.
The group meets monthly to communicate and cooperate about their listings,
which are primarily in the upper end of the market. Since its formation
in 1993, Stewart Title of Albuquerque, L.L.C., has been associated with
the group and nurtured it to achieve the high status in the real estate
community it holds today.
The select group of REALTORS®
who comprise The Elite 25©
must agree to abide by the group's organizational rules, pay
dues on a quarterly basis for promotional purposes, and attend monthly
tours and luncheon meetings. There is also a required production component
to belong: a REALTOR®
must have sold four or more homes priced over $550,000 in the
past year.
Members meet monthly to tour a select number of homes in a predetermined
area. A catered lunch is served at one of the featured homes; allowing
REALTORS®
to promote their listings in a casual setting and freely exchange ideas
and marketing strategies.
Besides marketing their listings, education is another important facet
of the group. Local officials are called upon to present updates on
critical issues at the monthly meetings. Topics range from the school
system to legal cases affecting real estate to new city, state or federal
laws.
Today, The Elite 25©
represents one of the most dynamic, productive and highly successful
marketing concepts ever to take hold in the greater Albuquerque area.
Regardless of market conditions, The Elite 25©
works to move and sell properties. The Elite 25©
is looking forward to working with other Elite 25's©
within the United States. This will aid in providing referrals
to all The Elite 25©
members throughout the United States.
