Here are some testimonials from the agents who have and do work at Duffy Realty.

As an agent for over 7 years I have found the Duffy system to be very successful for me because the leads are strong, there are several good options for the buyers on ways to work with us, it is GOOD for the buyers all the way around, and it allows me to handle more buyer clients effectively.

It is critical that we are well trained as Buyer Consultants so the meetings have been important. They Buyer program helps brand the Duffy Realty concept so we need to be "experts" at what we do.

I have been doing real estate in Metro Atlanta for 8 years, during this time I have done both traditional real estate and new home sales as an on site agent. So I feel like I have a pulse on where we have been and where we are going.

The Internet has changed our lives so profoundly that adaptability to embrace this technology and make it work for you is paramount. Yes, it is a great tool, but it can’t give the warm and fuzzy feeling of having an agent working for you! Duffy’s hybrid model takes full advantage of today’s involved, savvy buyers and sellers, and still gives the public
the edge with having an experienced, knowledgeable agent whereit counts most!

As we all know real estate can be a financial roller coaster, you can work very hard and have nothing come to fruition or you can work very hard and make a living.

I joined Rhonda and Duffy Realty in February of 2006; I took Rhonda’s mandatory course and passed with flying colors. Myself and a few other agents that joined at that time raised the bar in Rhonda’s estimation and she made the course mandatory for agents that had been with her since the beginning. Rhonda continually strives to help every agent be the best that they can be. For their success is Duffy’s
success!

We have boot camps where we receive so much training, knowledge and insight to today’s real estate market and it is almost scary when you go to a CE class and realize how much you do know!

We have the opportunity to do phone duty, where we have actual contact with buyers! What a chance to convert those buyers! Leads! Leads! And more Leads!

Within my first week of phone duty I wrote a contract, and by a month’s time I had secured 5 buyers. The year just escalated from there and for the first time in 4 years I was back loving what I do best and showing my passion for what I had waited 28 years to do!

And even though I love to think I am good, I’m very good…I’d like to share this with you.

I had a previous client from last year who had used me and loved Duffy’s programs, we closed on a $840K home in October 2006 prior to him selling his $1.2M home which he listed with Duffy and sold. I was in the office calling Info Alerts on a Saturday morning in March and my cell phone rang…

It was my client saying that the downsizing just wasn’t working for them and was I still with Duffy…I said absolutely, and he asked if I could meet in 20 minutes, they had found a home that had just been reduced from $2.5M to $1.75M and they wanted my opinion. We wrote a full offer 2 hours later!

Everyone needs repeat clients like this! So even though I do my incantations about my expertise (see above)…. The truth is, if I wasn’t with Duffy, they would have still have used Duffy and not me!

Rhonda is a pioneer in the industry, thinks out of the box, takes an idea and runs with it. Her successful business model is the envy of some brokers, the disdain of others, but regardless, remains very cutting edge! And as in any industry, success breeds jealousy. Those of us that are associated with Duffy should feel proud, excited, and look forward to continued success in the real estate industry.

Duffy continues to be visionary and fearless in this every changing industry, I am so glad I am here…what a ride!

-Marilou Young

As far as selling the potential agents on Duffy - come on. We have another no-brainer hear folks. LEADS, LEADS, LEADS! I have worked for 3Companies as an agent. A small mom and pop shop that no one has heard of, another large firm that is a joke and you. I don't even think I need to discuss the first one I sold 0000000000 with them. They didn't care. All they want is their monthly dues. If you make money great,then they make more money but they don't care. Just keep the monthly fees coming and keep paying for your signs and your "tools" ande verything else they can jack you on. I'm not bitter by the way.

Duffy is awesome for everyone.Looking at big picture (which I have been doing much more of lately) it's a win-win. As an agent there is no where that you can work and receive a constant flow of new leads.We dismiss a book of leads that most agents would kill for on the buyer side. The training is phenomenal both on a group and an individual level.Where can you go and get the juice from the #10 Realtor in the country and pass that info on to your employees.People pay money, a lot of money for the support and training that is given to us.

I have a lot of friends in real estate and I am the envy of all of them.Matter fact I don't know one that doesn't have a second or third job.Even the experienced ones that have been in Real Estate for 20 years don't do what I can do at Duffy.Rhonda, I made more last month than I did for the entire year of 2005.Kicking ass and taken leads.That's what we do!

-Phillipe Gentry

I would describe the training as very thorough with a great deal of emphasis on contracts. I learned more about contracts and how to run my real estate business than any previous training I have received. The taped sessions were interesting, entertaining and provided a great deal of valuable information. The Playbook is very thorough and I can usually find the answer to any questions
that I may have. Your staff has been great about helping when I can’t find an answer.

-Alex Elliott

I joined Duffy Realty because I was impressed with Rhonda and Frank and I was convinced that the Duffy Realty business model delivers the maximum total value to both Sellers and Buyers in today's evolving Real Estate market while offering me the opportunity to partner with clients and maximize my earnings in the most productive manner possible.

In three to four phone duty sessions of three hours each per month I am introduced to more potential prospects than I could possibly generate any other way. Supported by the Duffy Realty Play book, structured presentation format, extensive web site information, and frequent intensive Boot Camp training sessions I am provided with everything I could possibly need to convert my Prospects into Clients and subsequently into Sales...And we have outstanding contract support to rely on as well.

I am sincerely delighted to be a part of such a professional and well trained real estate sales team and I tell all of my friends in the business that they should apply to join us and see what it's like to be with an organization of Leaders and Winners! The Duffy Realty Cash Bonus Program is the Real Deal!

-Vin O'Reilly

When I began work at Duffy Realty I was a true greenhorn. I had absolutely no experience in the industry and to top things off; I had never even purchased a piece of property so the whole process was a mystery to me. Contracts, contingencies, inspections, market value, comparables, it was all-Greek to me and to be honest I was quite intimidated. At Duffy Realty all agents are required to complete a training program that is referred to as "Boot Camp." There are a number of sections that deal with the various components of Real Estate. The program goes over everything in detail from the nuts and bolts of contracts to how to track and follow up with leads.

You are given outlines, homework, and tests. It is not a program that gives you a brief overview; it is more designed to make you an expert. The training and support does not stop when you complete your Boot Camp Finals. Several times a month we have meetings and discuss relevant issues such as contract changes, following up with clients, and ways to expand your business. If you ever have a question at anytime someone is available to help you. I could not see myself anywhere else. After my first closing my client looked at the closing attorney and said, "you know this is his first time." The attorney had a confused look on his face. He looked at me and said with a smile, "I would never have guessed that," and that is a testament to the quality of training at Duffy Realty.

-Rete Odom

One of the best decisions in my life, was the decision to join
Duffy Realty team.We are always in the process of learning.
The different ways of training, way how our Broker is always
looking for something new, that will increase our knowledge
and our business. Duffy Realty doesn't have Real Estate
agents. We are Real Estate Experts, and I can see that, when working on deals with other agents from other company, or need to answer questions for my Buyers. Me personally should do much more transactions, and I will do not less, than 3 closings a month. My problem this is my Russian accent, I am working to fix this problem. What is very important, that I am in the company, who provides new, future way of the real estate services, company who makes our clients happy and thankful of our services?
Rhonda, thank you for everything what you are doing for all of us.

-Norm Itskov

Dear Rhonda,

Thank you for giving us all the tools and references to guide us in representing our clients well. You go above and beyond with the tools and knowledge you provide. Looking forward to going over the new GAR Contracts and continuing my Real Estate Education.

-Lori Pugh

The great thing about working as a Buyer’s Agent at Duffy Realty is the feeling that you are truly representing the Buyer not the Seller and saving them money. My clients like that they are being represented by an agent as much or more then the Cash Bonus they receive. The client feels they are being represented and the agent is not just trying to make a quick sale. The client knows if they can not get a particular home for the price they want to pay, I will help them find another home for the price they want to pay.

-Joe Herbig

A Thought About Our Meetings...

Thanks for the meeting today! Very informative and certainly worth the time. I enjoyed the interaction and look forward to the next gathering.

Thanks again,

-Cheryl

Although I've been a broker for a number of years and thought I knew quite a bit, when I came on board with Duffy, I was very pleasantly surprised at all the excellent training materials, both printed and on DVD, that is available (and mandatory) for all Duffy agents to be familiar with. It's refreshing to work with professional and knowledgeable agents. I applaud Rhonda Duffy and her wonderful staff for having all these great materials and ongoing processes and training in place that enable her agents to excel.

-Marsha Capland

There's training...and then there's Rhonda Duffy's Training!
...a "total" transformation....physically (yes,there's a Congo line),mentally(yes,there's NLP), & spiritually (Frank's dept.)
Also intergalactic space travel (you'll need a GPS)...
What’s the outcome...if there's a fsbo on the moon ...I'm there...
A buyer moving to the moon.... I’m there.... DUFFY IS THE BETTER WAY!

-Janet Hordosky

I have been with Duffy for a little over a year now and the experience could not be better. Rhonda and Frank truly want to see every single agent do well and grow their business.
I have been licensed for over 9 years and have never been provided with as many qualified leads as we receive at Duffy Realty.
Duffy Realty is way above the changing trend in our industry. Yes we have the Buyer Cash Bonus program, but we also have well trained agents to go along with it. No one here is "afraid " to share his or her ideas and tips. Even if you have been licensed for years you still learn new ways to improve your skills.
I have never been in an office that would go over the new
contract changes for 6 weeks in meetings. I feel that it really
helped to actually know what changed and what it meant to you and your client instead of trying to interpret it for yourself. I would highly recommend anyone to Duffy Realty.

-Allison Ridge

Iappreciciate the lunch meeting concept, I like to hear what others concerns are and their solutions.. It's a good feeling knowing that we are all playing on a good team with dynamic leadership!

- Rick Shaffer

That was a great meeting today! So far I have been very
impressed with the structure and organization, as well as the camaraderie I have observed. I am truly looking forward to playing for the Duffy Realty team!

-Terri L. Brown

The bottom line is how Rhonda and Frank have given me the
opportunity to be on the cutting edge. Yes know matter what all those other agents say, this is the wave of the future of this industry. Rhonda and Frank saw what was coming and were willing to take a chance to make a difference. The one other thing is how giving they have both been. When I interviewed over a year and half ago with all those other brokerages all I heard was what I was bringing to them. When I interviewed with Rhonda she told me "this is what I have to offer you and yes you will have to work hard but the rewards will come."
And yes they have thanks Rhonda and Frank!

Message from Frank Duffy about 8 years of Duffy Success

Hey Everybody,

I want to take a moment tonight to congratulate the entire Duffy Realty team on reaching two very impressive milestones. We signed on and helped our 15,000th client this week and tomorrow we are celebrating our 8th Anniversary of being in business here in Atlanta. We certainly could not have done it without the hard work and dedication of many, many truly gifted people. Job well done team.
