This segment is filled with great information for any homeowner. If you have had an incident that requires you to file an insurance claim, call Tony today at 508-482-0104.

Next up, we welcome, Larry Rideout and Collen Barry of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty.   Larry is the CEO of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty. They are a powerhouse Real Estate organization, with over 150 Sales, and 20 dedicated rental agents. In 2013, they did a billion dollars in sales volume. Larry tells us “Sotheby’s is built for luxury…” Their sweet spot is in the $700,000 to $1,800.000 range. Sotheby’s offers “white glove service” to all of its clients, whether the home is $350,000 or $2,000,000. Last year at this time, Larry told us East Boston was the next hot place, and East Boston Real Estate is on fire. What are his predictions for 2015? Listen in to hear all the details.

Last but not least, Colleen Barry, Gibson Sotheby’s Director of Productivity joins us in studio.  She individually partners with Gibson’s agents, as an opt-in program, and they talk about what their goals are. They are able to map out a business plan and follow it. Utilizing this program, agents have seen a 20% to 30% growth, year over year. Her goal for 2015 is to do 24 training sessions for her Sotheby’s agents.  If you have an interest in Gibson, check out their site today.
