RE/MAX Revolution sisters on the hunt for more success

Queensland sisters Eiles and Brittany Hunt have won RE/MAX Australiaโ€™s prestigious Titan Club Award in their first year as sales agents after writing $900,000 gross commission income (GCI).

When the dynamic duo bought RE/MAX Revolution in Brisbaneโ€™s Shailer Park in 2018, theyโ€™d never sold a property and initially worked as business development manager and office manager in the franchise.

The co-principals had always wanted to move into sales and finally did so with a lot of nerves and even more determination at the start of 2021.

Just a year later, theyโ€™ve sold 78 properties and listed 24 others in the last three weeks alone.

โ€œItโ€™s been an amazing first year, and weโ€™re so proud of all that weโ€™ve achieved,โ€ Eiles said.

โ€œWeโ€™ve got big goals for this year to double what we achieved in our first year of sales.โ€

The sisters credit their first-year sales success to a combination of dedication, determination and implementing top coach Sherrie Stororโ€™s processes and procedures for leveraging listings and sales.

The process includes a 51-point checklist that took them through every step they needed to list a property, market it, sell it and leverage the result to generate more business.

Eiles said the checklist worked hand-in-hand with Sherrieโ€™s letter packs, which provide innovative template letters to send out at various stages of a propertyโ€™s campaign.

โ€œWe would send out a โ€˜just listedโ€™ letter to the neighbourhood to let everyone know weโ€™re about to list a property, then weโ€™d send a letter as soon as itโ€™s under contract and then two weeks after it had sold, we would send a third letter, which was a prospecting letter highlighting that we had leftover buyers,โ€ she said.

โ€œWeโ€™ve had so much positive feedback from those letters, and theyโ€™ve generated numerous appraisals, listings and sales.โ€

Eiles said one of the best things about the letter packs was that there were three different packs to choose from, and you could select the one that fitted your personal brand.

The letters in the ‘Yours in Real Estate’ pack have a sensible, more traditional feel about them, while the ‘Keeping Real Estate Real’ pack has a fun tone of voice, and the ‘Here to Help, Not Hustle’ pack was bold and filled with personality.

โ€œThe letters we sent out said things like, โ€˜It’s a done deal, almost. Roll out the welcome mat and start baking cookies; you’ve got new neighbours to meetโ€™,โ€ Eiles said.

โ€œThey arenโ€™t just your standard DLs, theyโ€™re fun and have a lot of warmth to them. They worked perfectly for our personalities and our brand.โ€

Sherrie said her letter packs and checklist helped agents โ€œstand out in the sea of samenessโ€.

โ€œTheyโ€™re an extension of your brand, and people definitely form opinions and judgements of agents based on those letters,โ€ she said.

Eiles said they always sent the letters in an envelope with catchy headings and often with cute stickers saying โ€œopen meโ€.

The idea behind that being, opening the letter means the potential client is already, even subconsciously, buying into the letterโ€™s message.

โ€œItโ€™s helped us gain a lot of traction in our marketplace,โ€ Eiles said.

โ€œThe 51-point checklist has also given us a lot of confidence in that we know what to do and that nothing will be missed.

“We do one-on-one coaching with Sherrie, too, and her support has also boosted our confidence and is great for keeping us accountable.โ€
