“The idea was to create a top-of-the-line professional environment for the brokers and agents at RE/MAX,” said Kathy Dames, broker and owner of RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals.
“We have provided them with specialized amenities including office space with the latest technology, including brand new Ricoh executive copiers and scanners, high-speed internet access, large conference room ‘chat room’ with wireless internet connections and a ‘pop’ up high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) built into conference table plus 55-inch large screen television to prepare presentations for our clients and showcase properties,” Dames noted.
The contemporary interior design of the new 2,000-square-foot office blends well with the expansive store front windows. The conference room and front desk area are filled with natural light.
The new office space comfortably accommodates the needs of agents and personnel for this fast growing real estate firm.
The office also has a 65-inch large screen television showcasing ultimate professional’s biographies and resumes as well as listing which can be seen from the front window to acquaint the public with the superior brokers and listing.
“I toured several top RE/MAX offices from Chicago to Florida before making this move,” said Dames, a 29-year real estate veteran. “My goal is to make this the nicest RE/MAX office in the Chicagoland market. I want the agents to be able to bring their clients to their office and feel proud that they are working from this location and part of this brilliant team.”
The RE/MAX office is visible from the well-traveled Illinois 59 in Shorewood and there is plenty of customer parking in the Brookforest Shopping Center lot.
“The new office environment will be accompanied by the expansion of our sales staff to more than 20 brokers and sales associates-up from the original ten agents,” said Dames.
All ten of the veteran agents that followed Dames to RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals have more than 10 years of real estate experience in the following Chicago suburbs: Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet, Lockport, Lemont, New Lenox, Oswego, Frankfort, Shorewood, Morris, Crest Hill, Minooka, Manhattan and Channahon and more.
Each agent is sub-specialized and additionally educated in a different segment of the real estate market, such as resale, relocation, short sales, foreclosures, commercial, income producing, farms and horse properties.
“In this ever-changing real estate market sellers must identify Realtors who have taken the initiative to educate themselves in our industry,” said Dames. “The agents at RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals have special designations and education in their specific market segments such as CDPE, SFR for distressed and short sales and BPOE for appraising and ACP for commercial specialists.”
Experience counts when it comes to buying or selling a home in this marketplace. With more than 29 years of experience, and a winner of numerous awards, Dames stays on top of the market to assist her clients.
Dames received one of RE/MAX’s top citations—The Hall of Fame Award—since joining RE/MAX in 1986. She has achieved such success in what many would call “record-breaking” market. She is consecutively in the top one percent of all U.S. RE/MAX Realtors nationwide.
Dames, named No. one realtor in Will County for several years since 1996, has been licensed since 1984. Her background includes a degree in marketing from Northern Illinois University and years in corporate sales before joining RE/MAX.
“I like to see people succeed,” Dames said. “I really do. I’m happy for them when that happens. I’d like to pass on my experience and knowledge to the agents at my office. I think I can help the agents who affiliate with my office reach their full potential. That will be a wonderful thing for me to accomplish at this point in my career.”
