3/9/2011
Weichert Real Estate Affiliates, Inc., (WREA), the franchise division of Weichert, Realtors®, recently introduced the Weichert Relocation Society to its franchise network. Designed to provide specialized training, business development and networking opportunities, the Relocation Society is open to qualified owners, managers and referral/relocation staff members of Weichert franchise offices.
“The Weichert Relocation Society was created to support increased inbound and outbound referrals by and between Weichert offices,” said Martin J. Rueter, president of WREA. “Even more importantly, it provides a way for members to network with their peers, share best practices and develop relationships.”
Weichert Relocation Society members benefit from ongoing referral/relocation training webinars and marketing materials. The networking aspect of the program is supported by a social media presence, along with mentor and recognition programs.
“Weichert franchise offices will find that the Relocation Society is an effective way to build their relocation business,” said Judy Bittner, director of relocation services for WEICHERT, REALTORS® - America First Team in Concord, Calif., who helped develop and roll out the program. “It is clear that building bonds between members increases the quality of the leads they receive and allows relocation directors to employ more sophisticated tactics for increasing their level of relocation business.”
Weichert Real Estate Affiliates launched its first franchised office in January 2002 and currently serves some 300 markets in 36 states.
