REAL Trends, the Trusted Source in residential brokerage, and Trulia (NYSE: TRLA), a leading online marketplace for home buyers, sellers, renters, and real estate professionals, released The 2014 REAL Trends America's Best Real Estate Agents list. The list ranks the most productive agents by state and by metropolitan area based on closed transaction sides and closed volume.

“With today’s release of the 2014 America’s Best Real Estate Agents list, an elite group of real estate agents across the country are receiving well-deserved recognition. These agents are far above average and have built enormously successful small businesses in an extremely competitive field,” said Steve Murray, President, REAL Trends.

To be included in the ranking, agents must have closed at least 50 transactions, compared with the industry average of 7. This ensures that only the best of the best are included on the prestigious list.

"We are very honored to have so many of our Dallas/Fort Worth area real estate agents recognized as America's Best Real Estate Agents. It is just one example of the success achieved when we continue with our business model and our mission: To serve the community, develop people, have fun and achieve profits. We believe that by continuing to focus on the first three, that the fourth will occur," said Fite.

The CENTURY 21 Judge Fite agents recognized, and their rank in Texas, are:

#85 Sarah Padgett
#95 Ann Weaver

"We have several initiatives for 2014 focused around the real estate agents and staff who make the company so successful. Dave Ramsey's Financial Wellness program is offered at a discount to all agents and staff, who can have the entire registration fee reimbursed upon successful completion of the program; and we opened the discount up to clients and others as well.

CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company signs marketing deal as the Official Real Estate Company of the Dallas Cowboys

Dallas real estate company CENTURY 21 Judge Fite has announced a multi-year agreement as the Official Real Estate Company of the Dallas Cowboys.  The new initiative was announced at the company's recent Awards banquet.

"Our biggest initiative for the next three years is our designation as the Official Real Estate Company of the Dallas Cowboys," said Jim Fite, President of CENTURY 21 Judge Fite.  "We feel this will be a good partnership to increase our brand exposure in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex and beyond."

Every fall, the company's management team participates in strategic planning to focus on goals for the coming year.  One of the ideas at the planning retreat in 2013 was ways to raise the visibility of the company.  “When people join our team, they’re constantly telling us that we’re the best-kept secret in Dallas real estate,” Fite says. “This is despite the company being formed in 1937, and our huge share of the DFW real estate market.”  So Fite asked his Director of Marketing, Vicky Wu, to come up with some ideas.

Wu wasn't sure what direction to take when dreaming big last summer; since joining the company in 2011, she's been working with an annual budget of $100,000 - a fraction of the $500,000 budgets in the years before her arrival.  So she decided to think bigger than Fite was probably expecting.  “I’ve seen how big hairy audacious goals can work better than just the sum of their parts,” Wu says. “They tend to generate excitement and buzz within and outside of an organization, beyond what you could get with a goal that wasn’t quite a stretch.”

"I had done the quick math on how much it would cost for 20 offices to sponsor two or three of their local high school football teams, guessing at $5,000 per sponsorship.  It was quickly adding up to a large figure, possibly without an equally large return on investment,” Wu says.  "I also considered a billboard campaign, but costs to saturate the DFW area were higher with even less return on investment."

Being the official real estate company of the Dallas Cowboys allows the company to use the designation throughout the year.  It also comes with advertising opportunities in AT&T Stadium, on the DallasCowboys.com website and on Cowboys radio.  The company also plans to use this as another method of giving back to the community.

"We've been supporters of Easter Seals North Texas since 1997," said Fite.  "Since that time, we've raised over $1.8 million for their organization - but we also know their needs increase every year.  We plan to expand our giving program by incorporating them into our new partnership."  Every time Dallas Cowboys' kicker Dan Bailey is up for a field goal, the radio will announce that if he makes the goal CENTURY 21 Judge Fite will donate $250 to Easter Seals North Texas.  "Giving back to the community is directly tied to our mission statement, and this is a way that we can not only increase our giving, but also help bring additional awareness to the important work done by Easter Seals North Texas."

Wu said some of the agents and staff are already matching that challenge, offering anywhere from $1 to $10 per field goal as their own personal donation.

This is just one of the many new initiatives undertaken by the company in 2014.  "We are also honored to have been named one of the Top 100 Places to Work in DFW by the Dallas Morning News in 2013,"  said Fite.  Other initiatives are focused around the real estate agents and staff who make the company so successful.  "Dave Ramsey's Financial Wellness program is offered at a discount to all agents and staff, who can have the entire registration fee reimbursed upon successful completion of the program; and we opened the discount up to clients and others as well. In addition, we are migrating to a paperless system, so that agents, clients, managers, and others will be able to access documents 24/7 from any web-enabled device, speeding our response times and making the real estate transaction process easier for our clients."

YOGA CLASS IN FORT WORTH

Hit the Ground Dancing
4524 Boat Club Road, Suite 150
Fort Worth, TX  76719
682-233-2672

This 60-minute class is designed to build core strength and flexibility and increase your relaxation while reducing stress. We borrow pieces from many styles of yoga:

Vinyasa

strengthening This style of yoga  synchronizes breath and movement to increase core strength, muscular flexibility and blood circulation. Breathe, sweat and go with the flow!

Iyenga

alignment and posture Iyenga Yoga was created by B.K.S. Iyengar, a well-known teacher from India. This style of yoga focuses on precise alignment of the body with an emphasis on standing poses. Iyenga yoga is wonderful for improving your stability, strength, posture and balance.

Yin

flexibility and mobility Yin yoga focuses mainly on the hips, pelvis, knees and lower back in order to increase joint range of motion, increase body awareness and learn to just let go. Through holding poses for longer periods of time connective tissue is stretched while chronic held tension is released.

Nidra

relaxation Yoga Nidra is an element of yoga involving deep relaxation in order to relieve both physical and mental tension.  Practicing this relaxation technique is believed to improve the quality of sleep and aid stress management.

I’m not flexible – can I do yoga?

Absolutely! Give it a try and over time you will notice that yoga helps you to become more flexible. Every body is different, so never feel the need to practice poses exactly like the instructor.  Listen to your body, don’t force yourself and stay within your limits. Also, like any other exercise program, please consult your doctor before beginning yoga.

What do I need to practice yoga?

Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing, kick off your shoes and practice on a surface with some grip. Yoga mats are ideal, as they are “sticky” and help prevent sliding. You can bring your own, or we do have a few you can borrow for class on a first-come, first-use basis.

Wedding Dance Workshop, April 12, Fort Worth, TX

When I was planning my own wedding, I found out very quickly how EXPENSIVE everything is!  While I didn’t need to purchase dance lessons, I’ve heard from a lot of brides and grooms about how expensive these can be as well.  And I understand completely – you are purchasing a service that has required a lot of specialized training.

Yet at the same time, I love dance so much that I don’t believe it should be priced at a level that makes it too “exclusive” where most of us can’t afford it.

I’ve also heard stories from brides and grooms that they weren’t getting the type of dance lessons they wanted, for example they would request a choreographed dance, but what they ended up getting was general lessons.

One of my favorite things to do while teaching ballroom dance is teaching brides and grooms and wedding parties!  So I wanted to make it affordable, and help you receive what you want.  Those are two of my goals – pricing classes where it’s affordable for you yet also meets the requirements for overhead on my side, and making sure I listen to the needs of my students!

One way I accomplish the first goal of affordable wedding dance lessons is by offering wedding dance workshops.  (And planning a wedding is HECTIC, so this also meets some time constraints for many couples!)  You get a great set of basics that help you make your wedding dance memorable and help you feel comfortable on the dance floor, but you do so in a condensed time frame.

Our next wedding dance workshop in Fort Worth is scheduled for Saturday, April 12, 10am to 1pm

Only $100 per couple.

Designed for couples preparing for their wedding, however ALL couples (including parents of the bride and parents of the groom, maid of honor or best man, bridal parties or couples just wanting to learn how to dance) are encouraged to join!

Couples will learn the necessary and helpful lead/follow skills that will allow them to dance as a couple no matter their dance skill level, as well as versatile, basic steps that can be used in Rumba, Waltz and Country/Western Two-Step, a few turns and a very easy dip.  We will show you how to work with your dance space and move comfortably across the floor.  I also teach you specific tips to overcome unexpected things that may occur during your dance so that you know how to recover smoothly – and your guests won’t even know!  You’ll leave with the confidence to let go of your fears and create a dance to remember!

View the wedding dance videos some of our wedding couples have shared with us!  Note, most did include private lessons and choreography, so your results won’t be quite the same after one workshop, BUT you will learn enough of the basics to feel comfortable and look good with your special dance!

There’s a lot of information out there.  A ton of websites give you generic tips and pointers on writing a resume, but don’t help you delve into putting together the pieces that your resume needs to get noticed.  And they usually won’t give you a resume review or critique of what you develop on your own.  You know exactly what I mean … you can Google anything and get much more information than you know what to do with.

Resume Services

Resume services will make a resume for you, but  when it’s time to update your resume you haven’t learned their tips to do it yourself, so you have to pay again.  I’m not knocking what they offer at all, it’s the best choice for some people.

Of course the best resume services, which help you research your work history to pick out the nuggets of gold to include in your resume, cost … a lot (often it really is a case of you get what you pay for).  Either way, you will most likely have to pay more for different versions of your resume (plain text, PDF, Word etc.)  And you will need to pay again later when it’s time for a resume update.

But not any more!

Wouldn’t it be better to pay once to learn the best kept resume secrets, and then use that information forever?

Building a Killer Resume

This Building a Killer Resume course is designed to bring you the best method for developing your own killer resume, brought together into one easy-to-understand timeline:

• Tips for a great resume – straightforward advice, no fluff, no BS.  Don’t you like it when you are given only the information you need without having to weed through all the junk?
• Takes you step by step through developing your resume – not just theory but hands-on activities you complete at your own pace.  Most people agree that having a step-by-step plan makes the work much easier.
• Walks you through fleshing out your work-related activities to highlight achievements.  Isn’t it great when someone tells you exactly how to showcase your best work accomplishments?
• Helps you format your resume in the best formats for recruiters and HR departments – and where to find low-cost or free programs to do so.  Free is good!
• Provide resume feedback and assignment critiques from professional instructors at various steps along the way, so that you’re not fumbling along in the dark.  Feedback always makes your final product better.

And best of all … the resume and the knowledge are yours - forever!  No more going back and paying again when you want to move your career to the next level.

All of this for less than the cost of what I used to charge a single client to develop their resume.  

Learning how to develop your own resume is an investment in YOU!

This course is an investment in your future and is worth much more than what I charge for face-to-face meetings.  Yet given the past few years’ economic downturn, I wanted to provide something affordable enough so that even those who have been unemployed or underemployed for a while can have the opportunity to participate.  The power of the internet allows me to reach a greater number of people, which means I can price the course to be extremely affordable for you.

The course includes multiple resume critique/feedback opportunities throughout the process, plus a critique of your final master resume file at the end.  We won’t write it for you, but we do know that finishing with a KILLER resume is your ultimate goal, and we will help keep you on track to do just that.

You will get out of it what you put into it, so be prepared to work, but it will be worth the effort!
