CONWAY AGENTS HEAR FROM LOCAL ATTORNEY

March 5, 2012 No comments

Local attorney David Spillane, second from left, shows Conway agents, from left, Vin Pivnicny, Kathy Marini and Danielle LeBlanc, some information on short sales.

South Shore Attorney David Spillane recently taught a course on foreclosures and short sales to a packed classroom of Jack Conway Realtors at the company’s Norwell headquarters. The 2-hour session, arranged by Conway Director of Agent Services Christopher Haraden, awarded two continuing education credits to the attendees toward their state-mandated requirements for license renewal.

“Attorney Spillane engaged us all with his dynamic speaking skills and knowledge of the subject,” said Chairman Jack Conway, who took the course along with his associates. “He explained the foreclosure and short sale processes from the expert standpoint of a lawyer who works with banks and homeowners on these transactions all the time. We were delighted to have him teach at our school.”

More than 300 Conway sales agents also earned continuing education credits for courses they took at the Conway Country Annual Convention held on Feb. 3 at the Quincy Marriott Hotel. The event kicked off with an instructional workshop by international real estate coach Matt Ferrara, who discussed social media and the new technologies, and was followed by other training sessions held throughout the day.

“Our company has always believed in the concept of lifelong learning,” said Haraden. “And we are more than happy to help our agents get the continuing education credits they need to meet the state requirements.”

CONWAY HONORS SELLARS AS CITIZEN OF THE YEAR

February 13, 2012 No comments

Brigadier General Thomas J. Sellars (center) was honored by Chairman Jack Conway and CEO Carol Bulman at the 25th annual Conway Country convention

Brigadier General Thomas J. Sellars, newly retired Commander of the Massachusetts Army National Guard, was honored as the Conway Country 2011 Citizen of the Year at Jack Conway Realtor’s annual convention held last week at the Quincy Marriott Hotel. The General accepted his award on behalf of the 6,400 troops he had led in Iraq, Afghanistan, and here in the Commonwealth. He then switched roles and unexpectedly presented Chairman Jack Conway with the Department of the Army’s “Commander’s Award for Public Service.”

“I’m honored to be recognized by a company that has given back so much to the community and has helped generations of Massachusetts citizens to become homeowners,” said Sellars. “There is a difference between a business and an institution. An institution has its own personality – its own history, and it serves all of us. The Jack Conway institution is something I’m proud to be a part of, and if a man is known by the company he keeps, then I’m feeling pretty good today.”

U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel James Sahady, who accompanied Sellars to the ceremony, presented the Commander’s Award to Jack Conway as CEO Carol Bulman and hundreds of Conway Country associates rose to their feet waving a sea of American flags hailing both their founder and their citizen of the year.

A Brockton native and graduate of the Stoughton Public Schools, Brig. Gen. Tom Sellars and his wife Nancy live in Randolph. He retired from his 37-year career in the Massachusetts National Guard in September shortly before the last U.S. soldier returned from the war.

Julie Simmons with Jack Conway

A banquet hall filled with orange and gold balloons, cornucopias, fall flowers and stacks of food for the hungry was the setting for Jack Conway, Realtor’s annual Thanksgiving Award Breakfasts held at the Plymouth Radisson Hotel. More than 400 Conway sales associates from Boston to Cape Cod, the South Coast and the North Shore attended the event at which  agents were honored for “team spirit and congeniality.” The winners received gift checks to purchase a Thanksgiving turkey, and all attendees brought non-perishable food items to contribute to the Charity Guild of Brockton.

“We have a lot of functions in our company that recognize agents for top production,” said Conway CEO Carol Bulman. “But this ceremony honors our associates for the intangible qualities of kindness, good humor and camaraderie. These individuals are true winners because they help and support their colleagues and their communities all year long.”

The local recipient of the Conway Thanksgiving Award from the Dorchester office was Anne O’Brien, who was recognized for her volunteer work on behalf of the Franklin Park Zoo and for being a “consistently positive influence in her office.” Also honored at the breakfast was Conway-Dorchester Manager Julie Simmons who received a special Conway Country Community Service Award for her contributions and support of her Dorchester community during the past year. Simmons serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees for the First Parish Church in Dorchester, one of the oldest churches in the city of Boston, and has been actively involved in raising funds for a massive renovation of the Circa 1631 building.

The Annual Thanksgiving breakfasts have been a tradition in Conway Country for more than 30 years, and with all of the great homes for sale in Plymouth MA that Jack Conway represents, the location is a natural choice. “We gather here in America’s hometown every November for our celebration,” said Chairman Jack Conway, who delivered the opening greeting to the group. “It’s where our country’s first Thanksgiving took place, and it reminds us to thank God for the many wonderful things we have in our lives.”

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.

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.”

CONWAY AGENTS HELP FEED THE HUNGRY

October 27, 2011 No comments

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.”
