The
Lyon Crest Realty Mission
Lyon Crest Realty is a fast growing, medium sized real estate company
dealing with commercial and residential real estate, and a comprehensive
array of real estate related services. The mission of the company
is to offer comprehensive real estate services to provide maximum
convenience, efficiency, and customer care to our clients in a professional
and comfortable environment. Lyon Crest prides itself on its directive
for continuous improvement, constantly innovating and pioneering
new management strategies, ideas, and concepts within the traditional
real estate industry. Lyon Crest is also an active committee member
on the Association of Realtors Education Committee. This allows
us to take an active role in setting real estate education standards
and to ensure that all members and agents are kept current on new
legislation and forms so that members will always be prepared out
in the field.

The
Large Franchise
In establishing the Lyon Crest concept, we have tried to create
an entity that combines the benefits of the large franchise along
with the benefits of the smaller independent companies. Historically,
the large franchises have offered management support, facilities
support, and marketing support to its agents, but at the cost of
high franchise / royalty fees, and marketing fees. These fees are
in addition to lower commission rates that the large franchises
normally offer. In addition, the marketing support that they provide
is on the national level (this means that it offers good national
awareness, but the question is whether the advertisement in New
York and Chicago will help each individual agent in their respective
local communities).

top of section
The
Small Independent Companies
As for the smaller independent companies, their main focus is on
offering higher commissions to offset the usual lack of management
support, facilities support, and marketing support. They may charge
their agents for every form, photocopy, telephone call, and even
desk and electricity usage.
Top of page
top of section
The
Lyon Crest "Synergy" Advantage
Here at Lyon Crest, we have created a synergy of these two prevalent
systems by offering full facilities support, management support,
and marketing support, all at a very competitive commission rate.
Agents have free usage of company facilities, conference rooms,
desks, electricity, telephones, photocopiers, computers, faxes,
forms, etc. Lyon Crest offers training programs for unlicensed and
licensed agents, on-site practical training, questions & answers
seminars, and an absolute open door policy. Thus, in the Lyon Crest
Synergy Program, you get the best of both worlds.

The
"Reimbursement and Company Benefits Program"
Another benefit that you will receive here at Lyon Crest is our
"Reimbursement Program" which we implement to help our
agents minimize their expenses. In this program, many expenses that
an agent would normally face anywhere else, are reimbursed by the
company to maximize the agent's profit and experience with Lyon
Crest. With the "Company Benefits Program", agents and
members are able to benefit more when they conduct a transaction
involving the purchase or sale of the agent's own primary residence.
We try to promote the well being of each and every agent working
with Lyon Crest as part of the Lyon Crest family because we understand
that a supportive, comfortable / enjoyable, professional, and team
environment is essential in creating productivity. This productivity
ultimately translates into a more successful agent, a more successful
company, and a more successful team.

to preserving and enhancing these attributes. Our systems and management
practice have been designed to accomplish just that, while still
offering comprehensive management support.

No
Floor Time Required
If you think about it, who really benefits from the use of floor
time? The company. With floor time, the company can do away with
the need for receptionists and office staff. Although, many companies
will advocate that floor time helps the agents because they are
able to get their fair share of walk-in and call-in prospects. In
actuality, the proportion of obtaining a call-in / walk-in versus
obtaining a client through your direct marketing efforts and referrals,
is very minimal. In either case, we have also addressed this issue.
Lyon Crest implements an equal distribution policy where no one
agent will receive a second walk-in / call-in until all the other
agents have received one as well (with the exception of the next
agent in queue being unavailable or if there are certain communication
limitations per the request of the prospect).

top of section
No
Quotas
Lyon Crest also does not implement any quotas (a situation where
each agent needs to meet a certain sales volume within a specified
period of time). A lot of companies feel that implementing quotas
fosters internal competition and, thus, increases productivity.
We feel just the opposite. By implementing quotas, what you have
fostered are internal political problems where you now have agents
worrying about someone stealing a client of theirs or whether someone
is going to try to stab them in the back. In doing so, the agent
now only spends 50% of their time servicing the client and the remaining
50% trying to protect themselves rather than devoting 100% of their
time and effort to servicing the client. In the end, this harms
the agent's reputation with their client and the chances of future
referrals. Lyon Crest has thereby eliminated this issue and has
established a professional, friendly, and team oriented environment.

No
Staff Meetings
In addition, we do not believe in holding staff meetings just for
the sake of holding them. There is no need to have all of our members
and agents in the office just to make an announcement or to update
everyone when all that can be done much more efficiently via our
e-mail bulletins or via our internal mail system. The only time
we will opt for holding a staff meeting is at the introduction of
new forms or new legislation where numerous questions are anticipated.
Then, it becomes more efficient to have a staff meeting since e-mailing
questions and answers back and forth will end up consuming more
time and effort. In this instance, holding a staff meeting will
offer a much quicker response and a higher level of clarity.
Top of page
top of section
Flexibility
More than 85% of our agents and members now work from home. Even
though, the office and company facilities are, and always will be,
available for member use (i.e. conference rooms, computers, fax,
copier, etc.). On more than one occasion, agents and members have
commented that they love how our system is designed because now
their morning traffic are their kids and how their trip to the office
is only a few steps away. Lyon Crest has purposefully designed this
system to offer agents this unprecedented level of freedom and flexibility,
while still offering complete management and training support, facilities
support, and marketing support. With this system, there is no differentiation
between part-time and full-time agents. At Lyon Crest, we understand
that having a full-time job, career, or family in addition to your
real estate activities does not mean you are any less committed
and that one should not be penalized for it.

Management
Support
Whether it is comprehensive training, or just a simple question
/ clarification, Lyon Crest Management will always be available,
and no more than a phone call or an e-mail away. We understand that
each person's needs, level of experience, and learning habits are
different. Lyon Crest Brokers and Office Managers are dedicated
to providing each and every agent and member with full and comprehensive
support that is designed to meet their individual needs. Our training
and support programs are always continuous, on going, and always
hands-on so that agents and members can always feel confident knowing
that they have the full support of the company behind them. Our
doors are always open to our agents and members and we firmly believe
that "the only inappropriate question was the one that was
never asked".

Lyon
Crest Realty Interview Question & Answer / FAQ
Upon reading the above information and/or the Lyon Crest Realty
flyer that was sent to you, if you feel that we sound like a good
fit for you, then you will want to continue onward and read our
Real Estate Agent Interview document (Question & Answer / FAQ),
as it will almost be like interviewing in person with a Lyon Crest
Realty Broker. At Lyon Crest Realty, we know what the important
questions to ask are in an interview process. After having talked
to and interviewed many different Real Estate agents, below are
the most relevant and frequently asked questions along with our
answers.
A lot of times, Real Estate agents when interviewing
with us are provided with so much information and facts during the
interview that they feel overwhelmed because we are so up front
with all the facts of our firm. By providing you with this information,
you can read and re-read this information to determine the most
relevant points as applicable to you (while not having to wonder
if you took the appropriate notes if this were to take place in
an actual interview vs. it being documented in this format). In
addition, by reading this Lyon Crest Realty Interview Question &
Answer / FAQ document, if there is a question that doesn't pertain
to you or if you find the question to be irrelevant, then just skip
to the next question.
Realize that very very few (if any) Real Estate firms will offer
you this much detailed Real Estate information in a document to
prospective Real Agent agents, but we do this for several reasons:
 1.)
As a courtesy to you in order to help you more quickly and efficiently
decide on the type of Real Estate firm you may want to be affiliated
with in the future
2.) We are up front with all of our firm's facts and if you join
Lyon Crest Realty, we want you to do so knowing the full details
3.) To show you the type of firm that we are. When getting training
and working in Real Estate under the Lyon Crest Realty umbrella,
you can rest assured that the time and care spent in writing this
document is reflective of the type of firm this is and its internal
makeup
4.) We feel that those individuals who are attracted to and appreciate
this detailed write up are most likely to be in alignment with what
Lyon Crest Realty offers and its Real Estate business philosophy
5.) A Lyon Crest Realty Broker can go over all these questions
and items with you in person or over the phone, but in doing so,
you would have to take extensive notes and listen extremely attentively.
Instead, by providing this information to you in this document format,
you can instead read this at your leisure (as well as reread any
important items). Then after reading this document, you can ask
even more detailed and specific questions the next time you speak
to a Lyon Crest Realty Broker.
