February 22, 2013 jackconway No comments

Jack Conway Realtor’s Director of Education Christopher Haraden recently assumed a key role with the Plymouth and South Shore Association of Realtors (PASS). He was named chairman of the group’s Education Committee for 2013.

Haraden, who oversees staff development and instructional programs for Conway’s 600-plus agents, had served on the PASS Committee for two years. As chairman, he will assist the association’s staff in providing strategic direction for the group’s licensing school, continuing education programs, and other training throughout the year.

“I’m looking forward to giving our members access to educational programs that will improve their business,” said Haraden, a licensed real estate instructor in Massachusetts. “PASS is one of the most progressive Realtor Associations in Massachusetts, and I’m excited to play a part in helping people learn and grow in their careers.”

Last year, Haraden served as chairman of the group’s Programming Task Force, which is charged with procuring nationally known real estate trainers to present workshops and seminars at PASS. He worked with his committee to bring in such well-known instructors as Jackie Leavenworth, Steve Harney, and NAR Economist Lawrence Yun. Two programs are already on the 2013 calendar, and the group will explore additional opportunities to engage speakers throughout the year.

“Many of our members don’t have the opportunity to attend the national conferences in other parts of the country,” said Haraden. “So the PASS leadership decided to bring the trainers to them, and it’s working out very well.”

Haraden lives in Hanover with his wife and two children, and serves as a member of the Hanover Cultural Council, the Hanover Day Planning Committee, and the Hanover Historical Society Board of Directors. A Hull native, he is the former editor of the Hull Times.

CONWAY CHOSEN AS TOP WORKPLACE ONCE AGAIN

November 5, 2012 jackconway No comments

The Boston Globe once again turned its spotlight on the region’s best employers in its Top Places to Work contest. In the large employer category, Jack Conway & Company, Inc. was chosen for the second year in a row.

It’s the fifth year the newspaper honored the state’s most beloved workplaces based on surveys of the people who know best — the employees themselves.

“It’s such an honor to be chosen, because it’s our team who chose us,” said Conway CEO Carol Conway Bulman. “Our agents, managers and staff make us who we are, and it’s gratifying to know they feel good about our company.”

The Boston Globe’s 2012 Top Places to Work survey was conducted by WorkPlace Dynamics, specialists in employee engagement and retention. The Globe invited 1,586 employers to participate in the survey; 304 organizations employing a total of 210,000 people completed the process. Completed surveys were received from 81,907 individuals, who rated their employers based on workplace practices in compensation, leadership, appreciation, career opportunities and management.

“When we launched in 2008 during the Great Recession, we wondered if employers would lose focus on keeping their employees happy,” Boston Globe Business Editor Shirley Leung said. “But businesses have continued to make strides in employee appreciation and opportunities. With more than 300 companies surveyed this year, we saw our highest participation rate to date.”

Conway was listed among companies like Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Co., Analysis Group, The Boston Harbor Hotel and Globoforce.

Established in 1956, Jack Conway & Co., Realtor, is family-owned and operated, and one of the largest independent brokerages based locally in Massachusetts.

CONWAY AGENTS PUT TOGETHER $3.75 MILLION DEAL

October 17, 2012 jackconway No comments

Realtors Michael Foley and Tia Zaferakis of Jack Conway’s South Boston office recently sold a $3.75 million parcel of land at 385-401 West First Street to a local investor who will build a 5-story condo development on the site. The 45 luxury condominiums will be located in two buildings over a 60-space parking garage with a 7,000 sq. ft. retail space on the sidewalk level.

“This land has been on the market for several years, but I’d attribute its sale at this time to two factors,” said Foley, who was the listing agent on the property. “The city recently rezoned this area from industrial to residential use, which stirred a lot of interest and activity among residential developers. Also, the new resurgence of development along the waterfront has renewed confidence in the traditional South Boston residential market. There is definitely an increased demand for housing in the area.”

Zaferakis, who was the selling agent on the transaction, said her company had marketed a “shovel-ready” parcel of land, which made it a more attractive sale.

“We offered the land with approved permits and plans in hand for the condo construction,” said Zaferakis. “Located in the ‘hot bed’ section of South Boston in the corridor that looks out on the seaport, this area is just percolating with new residential construction. It’s just a short walk to the waterfront and the center of town, and the condominiums will be built by one of Boston’s top-of-the-line developers. We are very excited about the sale and about the 45 units to come.”

NEW AGENTS ONBOARD AT CONWAY

Conway-Bridgewater agent Judy Leary (left) works with Toni Manning

New Jack Conway sales agents are getting a head start on their careers in a first-of-its kind “Onboarding Program” created by Chris Haraden, director of education for the 40-office real estate company.

“We’ve had the idea for a long time that new agents need a little more personal attention when they first join us,” said Haraden. “We have so many technological tools to help them succeed in this business, but they don’t know where to start or how to use them effectively. I think it helps them feel a lot less overwhelmed.”

The Onboarding workshop, conducted by Technology Director Toni Manning, is now the first step in Conway’s well-known training program for new associates. “I contact the agents as soon as they come aboard and invite them to meet with me one-on-one at our Norwell Headquarters,” said Manning. “They tell me what tech devices they own. I set up their Conway email and show them how to log into our company website which allows them to conduct business from anywhere.”

Terry DeLuca, a new agent at Conway-Marshfield, felt more prepared to “hit the ground running” after his personal training session with Manning. “Toni was excellent and taught me so much in a few hours time,” said DeLuca, who already has two listings. “I just wish she was my next door neighbor. I’d be over there every day.”

The Onboarding program, which Manning has dubbed “The Technology Fast Track,” shows agents how to create a personal profile page on the Conway website, how to upload their photo, how their listings will be displayed on jackconway.com, and how to enter customers’ information into Conway’s database management system, which is available to agents at no charge.

As a second stage of the training, Manning visits the agents in their offices to teach them how to use the company’s web-based program to create a comparable market analysis of a property, and how to order on-line prospecting postcards and fliers to market themselves and their business.

CONWAY AGENTS SUPPORT VILLAGE AT DUXBURY

October 9, 2012 jackconway No comments

The Conway team recently visited the Village at Duxbury for a broker’s tour.

A recent broker’s open house held at the Village at Duxbury, a senior living community for people aged 62 and over, had a definite “Conway Country” feel. Jack Conway CEO Carol Bulman and 31 of her sales agents were among the 48 Realtors who attended the luncheon and guided tour hosted by Luke Kramer, director of sales and marketing for the Village. Tucked into a residential neighborhood in Duxbury, the community offers cooperative home ownership, and the Conway Company was selected as a “Preferred Realtor” for prospective residents who have houses to sell.

Brokers at the open house enjoyed a sumptuous lunch and then toured several of the apartments and garden homes that are currently on the market. Seniors may “purchase” residences by buying shares in the Village’s cooperative corporation. Share prices for the spacious duplex-style garden homes range from $550,000 to $615,000 and apartments are priced from $169,900 to $475,000. The Village campus is also a “continuing care retirement community” with assisted living and skilled nursing and health care services available on site or in close proximity to the campus.

“I’m delighted that our company is one of the few Realtors chosen by the Village of Duxbury to meet the real estate needs of its residents,” said Bulman. “We have a very active Senior Specialist Division consisting of top Conway agents who have been trained to meet the specific needs of seniors aged 55 and over. That makes us uniquely qualified to service this adult community.”

Dawn Stevens, director of Jack Conway’s Relocation Division, has already received a referral from the Village at Duxbury that she has passed on to one of her senior specialists. “After touring the campus and all of its amenities, our agents got an up-close and personal look at this wonderful community and we’re eager to help people enter this new phase of their lives.

For more information about the Village at Duxbury, contact Dawn Stevens at 800-283-1030 or email dstevens@jackconway.com.
