CONWAY AGENTS RALLY AROUND NEW TOOLS

REALTOR.COM PARTNERSHIP WITH JACK CONWAY & CO.A partnership with Realtor.com and an on-line continuing education campus were among the new perks and benefits for Jack Conway Realtors announced at the recent Conway Country “WOW” Rally held at Lombardos in Randolph.

More than 300 agents attended the event and learned about the news tools and opportunities to become better at servicing customers. CEO Carol Bulman explained the exciting changes to the agents, and said, “We heard what you asked for and we responded. You, our agents in the field, are the reason for our company’s success and it’s our goal to help you to succeed. You are our front line in Conway Country and we thank you for what you do.”

On the agenda at the rally was the announcement by Conway’s Director of Marketing Al Becker, of an agreement with Realtor.com, the largest real estate database in the world. The plan calls for all Conway listings to be advertised as “enhanced listings,” which include up to 25 photos and 500 words of text, on the site.

“This is fabulous news to me,” said agent Joanne Mecke who has purchased the enhanced listings from Realtor.com for years at significant personal expense. “The new company-subsidized plan represents a huge savings to me. I’m very excited about it.”

The WOW factor continued as attendees at the fall rally heard from Conway’s Director of Agent Services Chris Haraden about a virtual continuing education campus that will allow Conway agents to take all of their state-mandated courses to renew their licenses on-line.

Bulman wound up the event with the announcement of a new longevity bonus for her associates. “My father, Jack Conway, and I recognize the value of loyalty and longevity among our associates,” said Bulman. “And we want to reward you for it.”

Conway Agents Volunteer at New Bedford Salvation Army

Barbecue chicken, potato salad and corn on the cob were on the menu for Sunday dinner at the Salvation Army Kitchen in New Bedford on October 16th. The food was cooked and served by a number of Jack Conway Realtors on the Greater New Bedford Association of Realtors’ (GRNBAR) Community Service and Donations Committee. The group’s goal was to prepare and serve full course meals to the homeless in the downtown New Bedford Area.

Jack Conway Realtors Feed Homeless

Conway-Padanaram agent Nona Sbordone, and Mattapoisett agent Joanne Mecke help serve food the homeless in New Bedford.

“We conduct food drives and cook the dinners ourselves,” said Nona Sbordone, a Conway-Padanaram agent who recently obtained a $500 grant from her local Shaws Supermarket to benefit the cause. “We usually serve a meal to about 300 people – some individuals and some families. I’ve been doing this for about two years, and I would never give it up. They are so grateful for our help.”

Sbordone and her manager Brenda Simmons serve on the GRNBAR committee with fellow Conway agents Laurie Wilkie, manager of Conway-Dartmouth, and Conway-Mattapoisett agents Mary McCann, Sue Haley, Joanne Mecke and Paula Tosca. “Everyone pitches in and cooks the meals, and we all participate in the food drives to collect canned goods and non-perishable items,” said Simmons. “Nona is particularly involved in finding new locations for us to set up our drives, and she was instrumental in securing the recent grant from Shaws. She is a ‘can-do’ person in the truest sense of the word.”

Anne Arruda, executive assistant at GRNBAR, was happy to forward the $500 check from the Dartmouth Supermarket to the Salvation Army for its food pantry. “I know Nona helped make it happen by talking with the Shaws upper management about our committee,” said Arruda. “We thank her so much for her hard work on behalf of the homeless.”
