"I wish to pass along some thoughts about Donna Perk, our manager, since I ve had ample time to get to know her and how she works with our associates. She is a warm, generous and caring person in not only her professional capacity as a manager but in her personal attitudes as well. Her enthusiasm, resourcefulness, expertise and knowledge have inspired a number of us to really extend ourselves and I believe it is evident in our attitudes and accomplishments. Donna makes a point of making people feel important to her, the office It makes me proud to have her as my manager and I wish to thank you both for bringing her to our office. Cordially, Sunny"

"I am a twenty-five year educator and school administrator. Four years ago, I pursued a career as a real estate agent to begin preparing for a second career. The first and only real estate manager with whom I interviewed with was Annette DeCicco of Prudential New Jersey Properties. After meeting Annette, I knew that her expertise, personality, and mentorship would work well for me. As a school administrator, there are certain qualities that I must possess to be effective to help my teachers, students, and other administrators. Annette possesses all of these qualities and more. Within two months of becoming a licensed agent, I received my first commission check in excess of $30,000 and this was a direct result of Annette s assistance. She attended my first listing appointment with me, role-played, and was available 24 hours/7 days a week to assist me with any question, big or small. Now, four years later, I have two full-time careers as a direct result of Annette DeCicco s coaching, guidance, and management. As a manager, Annette focuses on assisting her agents to obtain the skills that are needed to survive as an agent in the twenty-first century while not forgetting about the nuts and bolts that must be incorporated. She serves as a role model and coach for her agents by her active engagement in social media, blogging, and keeping current with other technological advances. Annette encourages agents to use goal setting and to work as an office team to assist one another to be competitive with other brokerage firms. These efforts make the Livingston Office of Prudential New Jersey Properties a successful presence in the real estate market."

"Bruce, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how grateful I am to be part of your training class. I am working to set and meet the weekly goals you have suggested and am already seeing what I interpret to be success. So far this week I contacted three FSBO`s and, of these three, two have resulted in appointments. The third homeowner spoke to me at length and asked me to call him next week because he is having an open house this Sunday and if it is not successful he feels he will be ready to list with a realtor. This may not sound like much but I have had two of these three FSBO phone numbers for weeks and did little, if anything, with them because I was so anxious about making that first contact. Now, instead of feeling anxious about potentially being rejected by prospects I am anxious to see where these contacts might lead. Thank-you for giving me the coaching I needed to step out of my comfort zone and give myself a chance at success."
