The first annual RE/MAX Coastal Redwoods Client Appreciation Event was a huge success!
On Friday, January 8, 2010, from 4:00 to 8:00 pm, my office had a client appreciation event to thank all our wonderful clients.
Not only did we thank our clients, but we introduced our newest agent, Ana Hartwick, who joined our office just a few days before the big event.
RE/MAX Coastal Redwoods couldn't be happier. Ana is a wonderful addition to the RE/MAX Coastal Redwoods team.
Ana is consistently a top producing agent with a stellar reputation for being friendly, prompt and professional and will compliment and be an asset to the rest of the RE/MAX Coastal Redwoods staff.
Our Client Appreciation Event was quite a success. We invited our clients to drop by and celebrate with over 400 invitations being sent out. Our staff thought we would be lucky to get even half of the invitees to attend, but our best estimates are that a minimum of 250 clients and support professionals, i.e. title people, lenders, appraisers, etc. attended.
The venue we chose for this event was the Hampton Inn in Crescent City situated on the ocean. Our guests got to watch a beautiful sunset over the Pacific and dine on the finest spread many guests say they have ever seen.
There was fabulous music, a large screen T.V. playing a DVD of our clients listings and we raffled off some wonderful gifts.
I was honored to have my Broker/Owner's present me with a plaque for being the number one producer in Del Norte County both in volume and number of sales for 2009.
Bob and Michelle Barber prepared all the food for the event AND decorated. They did a top notch job and we can not thank them enough.
If you missed the invitation only event, cheer up, we are going to have one again. You have to be a client to attend though, so come on in and see what we can do for you at RE/MAX Coastal Redwoods!
Thank you for stopping by. Your comments on this post are welcomed and appreciated.
No one sold more homes in Del Norte County in 2009, 2010 and 2011--*in units sold and volume--than Fran Gatti. Put Fran to work for you!

Hi Fran,
That's awesome that you did that! I own a boutique brokerage and have been wanting to do this the last few years but we haven't made the time to plan it. Next year, we'll do it for sure!

Now that really is a good idea and it looks like a lot of fun.
Sure does. Now more than ever client appreciation is key
That is a great event. I can't recall any of the businesses that I deal with holding an event like that for many years. Client appreciation seems to be a lost art. Thanks for reminding me that I should do something like that.

This appears to have been a stupendous success. Way to go.
I'm not surprised at your personal award either, Fran. Congrats.
In concept this kind of event should work no matter how big the brokerage. One agent could do it (on a much smaller scale). 100 agents could do it. You could invite one-years clients...or ten years worth.
Any way you cut it your turn-out was amazing.
Great to see the nice things taking place around the country with our colleagues. Thanks for posting.
Fran,
What a great thing to do! I bet your clients were so happy! It was a beautiful event!
We actually did one of these at my office and it was a success also! We have only been in our office a year - so we have started early --- Good Luck!
Congratulations to you Fran.
Awesome award, I am thrilled for you, glad the move has paid off and you are being so successful.
Great idea to let clients know they are appreciated! Congrats on your amazing award....you should be proud and motivated to do it all over again!!!
Congratulations, Fran, on your award. You're fantastic.
Thanks, too, for sharing the success of your office's party. I'm going to share your party idea with our broker at RE/MAX Today.
Wow Fran. Great spread!
Next time, send me an invite.:)
Keep rocking!

I LOVE this recap ! So great to hear that the effort put into events like this was well worth it !
So glad it was such a success Fran !
Thanks to all for your comments. I wanted to follow-up and let you know that we've been receiving thank you cards and emails from clients for throwing them this party and making them feel so special. The owner of our office received flowers today from one of her clients. We are jazzed and invigorated to give it all we've got and do our best again this year. As of today, our office's agents are 3 or the top 4!
I highly recommend this type of event.
Fran,
I am so thrilled that the party for your clients was a success. CONGRADS ON BEING THE #1 AGENT in Crescent City. I am so happy that you get to work with great people like Rose and now Ana...Go get em. What a spread for your party.
Happy 2010
Love Beth, Tom, Tommy and Sarah XOXOXOXOXOXOXXO
Nice work Fran! I'm curious as to why you chose a formal dinner for your appreciation party?
