Vicki was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. She has degrees from Frostburg State University in

She is married to Clare Nichols, whose work as a Soil Conservationist with the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service took them to the Texas Panhandle and Southern Maryland before moving to
Vero Beach, Florida. Clare’s early retirement in the spring of 2005 allowed them to relocate to beautiful

Washington, DC, as an installment loan teller in Texas, and as a mortgage loan processor in Florida
until finally realizing her dream of becoming a librarian. She was the System Cataloger for the Indian
River County Library System for over 20 years, where she was responsible for the online library catalog
database.

Vicki was also a volunteer tutor for Spanish-speaking students through the Adult Literacy Service, translator

duties include assisting clients with referrals through our Household Goods Move Management Program,
coordinating all agent records and referrals for Western North Carolina Referral Services, providing rental

Locally-branded independent real estate brokerages are enjoying a resurgence of popularity after
decades of attention on franchising. Both are viable business models, but the fact that several large
rms with long-time franchise afliations have elected to return to independence in the past few years
is a clear indication of the appeal of the independent model, with the increased freedom, exibility,
and opportunity that it offers. This strength is indicated by the impressive credentials of Leading Real
Estate Companies of the World™: nearly 700 companies with 5,000 ofces and 145,000 associates in
the U.S. and over 35 countries around the globe.

Success, though, depends on being able to communicate your value to today’s consumer. It is advis-
able to talk in terms of ‘locally branded and owned’ companies rather than ‘independent,’ with which
consumers may not identify, especially since they constantly hear about franchises that are ‘indepen-
dently owned and operated.’

The following are differentiation points that can be used when competing with a national franchise.
Because you know your local competition, it’s important for you to develop talking points your agents
can use that play up your strengths versus theirs.

RELO Home Search Traffic Performance
This report shows the total number of unique people who have discovered your website through
RELOHomeSearch.com. We tag each visitor with a unique ID and filter out web crawlers to ensure an
accurate and conservative count of real people; these are not estimates. These people arrived at your site by
either clicking a property search result, or your logo. They landed on the respective property detail page or on
your company’s property search landing page. Users clicking upon multiple properties are not double-
counted.

Monthly Average Inbound Clicks (Prior 12-Months): 734


Total Inbound Clicks in Past Year: 8814

This report compares the traffic RHS sent you (orange bar) and the traffic your company sent to RHS (blue
bar). The orange bar is a combination of search engine traffic and the traffic sent to you from other members
(member-to-member traffic is ~ 5% of all traffic RHS receives). Your company’s web site traffic and the
placement of the RHS logo on your site affect the amount of traffic you send RHS. This is important because
we rank your traffic against other members to determine placement of your brand on RHS search results
pages. To increase traffic to RHS, simply add a link to RHS to your search page, relocation department page,
or other places on your site. The more inbound links, the higher the search engines rank RHS and all of its
pages, so it’s a mutual benefit to all. Learn how to link to RHS at http://www.relohomesearch.com/linking .

3) outgoing referral program continued

e) Relocation Outgoing Referral Goals for 2010:


Close 90 outgoing referrals and achieve an 80/20 split with the LRE.
f) Historic Data: In 2009, we sent 234 referrals of which 73 closed. Based
on our network goals, we qualified for a 72/28 referral split. The 72% of
the referral fee received by the Company is then split 50/50 with the agent.
See attached sheet for complete analysis of our network goals.
g) Plan to achieve goal:
i) Have each agent identify and send at least one outgoing qualified
referral for the year. With 300 agents, that should represent 300 outgo
ing referrals. We have consistently achieved a 30% plus closing
ratio on referrals sent.
Therefore this activity should result in 90 closed referrals. At 90 closed
referrals, we will achieve an 80/20 split with the network.
ii) Steps to achieve goal:
(1) Include an outgoing referral as part of every agent’s plan
(2) Have the BIC review that plan with each of their agents.
(3) Provide greater incentive to the agent by crediting 25% of the
closed
outgoing volume towards the agent production volume.
(4) Incoming Company Generated referrals assigned to Buncombe
County
B-H Offices for next quarter to be determined by % of sent out
going referrals from the previous quarter. The more referrals each
office sends, the more they receive.
(5) Provide agents with frequent reminders on:
(a) How to identify a referral.
(b) Referrals sent by office by agent.
(c) Closed referrals by office by agent.
(6) Provide BIC with monthly and quarterly updates on agent partici
pation and ask them for their assistance in reminding agents to
follow up with their outgoing referral clients.
(7) The Relocation Department to routinely request agent feed back
from receiving agency and forward updates to our sending agents.
(8) Outgoing referrals do generate Incoming referrals and Incoming
referrals generate more income.

outgoing referral language
Sample verbiage to introduce our listing referral services:
While speaking with your client:
Your real estate experience in (Home City) will depend on both the agency you select
and the specific agent within that agency who will be working directly with you. You
know, I can help you identify both!
As a member of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, we are connected to
a
powerful network of nearly 700 top real estate companies with the best credentials in
the
industry. These network members are great companies, just like ours.
If you allow me to refer you, I will personally work with my Relocation Department and
insure that they carefully match you not only with a network member agency, but also
with a well qualified sales agent who has the qualities you want to sell you home. In
fact, I would be pleased to interview the selected agent prior to them contacting you
about your listing. I will stay involved throughout your home sale process to monitor
your progress and to make sure you’re happy with the relationship and the results you
are receiving.
Even though you could go directly to the company that we recommend, our personal
introduction and agent review gives you an advocate who is personally looking out for
you throughout your home sale process.
Would you be interested in allowing me to make this kind of an introduction for you?
Is YES, proceed to ask questions that are on the outgoing referral form.
Some possible objections to allowing themselves to be referred:
1. I know an agent in my home town that I would like to use.
a. If the property has not already been listed, ask if they would allow you
to introduce them to an agent from a company we select? Suggest
that they might be better off letting two agencies compete for
their business.
b. Many times the client knows of one or more real estate agents within
their network of friends. Your referring them could give them an
easy out with their friends because they can tell them all
that they were referred to this other agency or agent.
c. If they agree to let you refer them to a second agency, find out the
name of the other company and agent.
2. My home is already listed.
Answer - Great! Please let me know if I can be of any help in the future
and I will keep you up to date on the housing market here in WNC.

4) incoming referral program
The professionalism we demonstrate in managing our incoming referrals is a
direct reflection on our company and our national reputation.
Incoming referrals are contractual agreements between two agencies. The receiving
agency is agreeing to pay a referral fee to the sending agency for introducing the quali-
fied referral. The referral fee is paid off of the total commissions earned on the referred
side of the transaction.
Therefore Beverly-Hanks & Associates as a company is responsible for entering
into every referral agreement that is received. An Associate Broker cannot enter
into this agreement and commit Beverly-Hanks to pay a referral fee. Any referral
agreement that obligates the Company to pay a referral fee must be approved by a
Company Manager.
a) 2010 Goal for Incoming Referrals:
To increase the Beverly-Hanks Company conversion rate to 30% from 26%.
b) 2009 Statistics:
i) # of Referrals Received 967

(3) Third Party $15 Million

c) 2010 Goals
i) Increased Conversion Rate by: 4% to 30%
ii) Planned Closed Units: 300
iii) Increased Volume to: $80 Million
d) Plan to Achieve Goal:
i) Training: Conduct at least 2 classes in each office on the “best prac
tices” for incoming referrals. Agents attending this class will receive
preference for receiving company generated referrals.
ii) Agents receive 100% of their closed volume towards their production
volume even though a referral fee is paid out.
iii) No additional fees are deducted from the agents’ income by the Com
pany on a closed incoming referral.
iv) Beverly-Hanks does not increase the % charged to agents for
incoming referrals to pay for network or staff overhead. We pass
the referral on to our agents at the same referral fee that it is
received.
v) Follow Up:
(1) Relocation Department to monitor agent follow up activity more
consistently.
(2) BIC has been requested to ask each agent about their referrals

Asheville, NC 28801

Dear Beverly-Hanks Agents:

Here is an easy way to increase your business!

Western North Carolina Referral Services (WNCRS) is a referral company created primarily for Bev-
erly-Hanks agents who no longer wish to engage in the sale of real estate, but who still want to earn
income by referring their friends and clients to one of their fellow Beverly-Hanks agents.

We would like to open membership in WNCRS to licensees who are recommended by other Beverly-
Hanks agents. If you have a friend or relative who has a North Carolina Real Estate license you might
want to consider talking with them about joining WNCRS. If your friends want to hang their license
with a local real estate firm, here are some benefits of selecting WNCRS:

What are the benefits to your Friends?

• Low costs: WNCRS is a limited function agency and as such our agents understand that they
are not associated with a national, state or local Association of Realtors. Therefore there are
no REALTOR Association and multiple listing service fees.

• Active License Status: WNCRS facilitates the process of keeping an agent’s license active
so they can be paid referral fees.

• Provisional Brokers: Required by the State to hang their license with a Broker in Charge.

• License Renewal: WNCRS agents are eligible to attend in-house CE classes at the same
costs to Beverly-Hanks agents.
• Extra Income: Refer friends, family, and associates who have ongoing real estate needs to a
trusted Beverly-Hanks agent and earn referral income.

What are the benefits to YOU?

• Referral Management: If your friends are members of WNCRS, all of their local referral leads
will go directly to you, their sponsor. If they were a member of another referral company,
their leads would probably stay with their sponsoring agency.

ACTION: Contact Larry Zapf at 258-6343 for more information.

Thanks,

Larry Zapf
Broker In Charge

Short Sale Assistance Program

Beverly-Hanks & Associates has an agreement with two Short Sale Assistance Providers, Mortgage
Debt Services (MDS) and local attorney Steve Wilde. MDS, a company that was founded and
incorporated in Massachusetts, is a mortgage-debt negotiating firm. Steve Wilde is a licensed North
Carolina Attorney located in Asheville. Both service providers have successfully worked with short
sales for a number of years.

These companies were selected to provide assistance to homeowners who have listed their homes
with Beverly-Hanks & Associates. These homeowners are generally either at risk of losing their
homes due to a foreclosure and need to sell their home now, or they are current with their payments
but are “upside down” with their mortgage(s) and do not have the available cash to bring their home to
a closing.

Again, both companies have helped many homeowners referred to them by Beverly-Hanks &
Associates stop the foreclosure process (if necessary) and have assisted them in achieving
an approved short sale on their property. Knowing how lenders think is paramount in getting a
successful mortgage revision approved with terms and conditions that are acceptable to all parties
concerned.

What will these firms do for Beverly-Hanks, our Agents and our Customers?
- Counsel the seller as to what options are available given their specific situation.
- Determine if the seller is a short sale candidate.
- Identify the appropriate contact at the “lender” or “service provider” holding the mortgage.
- Work with that contact and the homeowner throughout the short sale process.
- Address the myriad ongoing issues that need to be resolved in order to bring the short sale
process to a successful closing.

Who pays for this service?
Service provider fees are included on the final HUD statement as a closing cost. In a short sale
situation, these costs are generally paid for by the Lender.

How do we begin?
- The Beverly-Hanks listing agent works with the homeowner to identify the need to introduce
the short sale program services.
- Once the need is identified, the listing agent works with the homeowner to select a short sale
service provider.
- Once the service provider is selected, the listing agent will provide to the homeowner
documents required to initiate the short sale process.

RELOCATION 32
