  • Travis ThomFounder, Elevated REM

    I started my Real Estate career at the young age of 19 after attending the Academy of Art Institute in San Francisco where I studied marketing and motion picture films. I soon realized my interest lied elsewhere I increasingly became more interested in jumping into business for myself. I left the Art Institute, became a Licensed Realtor and, at the age of 21, became the youngest Qualifying Broker and Brokerage Owner in the State of New Mexico, my current home and place of business.

    After several years on my own, I started a small team that focused on new construction developments which provided me the opportunity to nurture my first love – marketing. Like a snow ball gradually picking up speed, the marketing I created for our condo and town-home developments created a demand for my brokerage to handle the sales and marketing for over $100 million in inventory in a very short period of time. That same year, I made it as a Top 30 Under 30 Finalist for Realtor Magazinein large part because of my innovative marketing strategies, and my small break out team had grown to a brokerage of 30+ Agents, specializing in many different niches.

    From building psychographic campaigns, buyer personas, and building a deeper understanding of online consumer psychology, I helped our small company design larger-than-life marketing campaigns that generated demand and sparked desire. A few years later, I decided to take my skill set to a international level and, with my wife Toni, I made a decision to use our marketing skills in a new way by creating something that every agent could enjoy and profit from – Elevated Real Estate Marketing. One year later and two weeks before our daughter was born, we launch Leads2Listing.com (now known as Elevated REM ) a home valuation landing page and single property website company that helps Agents all across the world generate more leads.

    It was during this time that clients and fellow industry members across the country would ask for my marketing input. I began creating online strategies, specifically for Facebook, for Real Estate Agents, Brokerages, and Teams to deploy in order to market their listings, create brand awareness, recruit Agents to their offices, and generate leads. Organically, I began to coach many of my existing clients and saw their successes soar. This process of coaching Agents, and seeing their resulting success, lead me to create Elevated REM Facebook Coaching as well as Elevated REM Advertising Agency for Real Estate.

  • Barry JenkinsAgent, Top 1% in the US

    Barry’s Friend in Realty brand came about by one main thought…The Golden Rule!  His intention and driving principle is to treat you, the client, the way he would want to be treated if he was the client and you were the real estate agent.

    It is the above approach that has helped him rise to the top 1% in his field over the last 14 years in the business.  In 2012, Barry was awarded the agent of the year for his company. Barry was ranked 3rd in the country by Better Homes and Gardens in 2013 as a result of selling 125 homes that year.  Further, he was just awarded 5th place in the 2014 Real Trends Top Real Estate Agent award for the entire state of Virginia.

    Barry consistently sells several houses a week and this experience in real estate gives him a competitive edge over most other agents in the area.  Combine this experience with an extensive array of training designations and his clients always win.  Some of the training designations he has been awarded are as follows: Certified Distressed Property Expert, E(Marketing)-Pro, Broker Pricing Opinion Resource, Accredited Buyer Representative, and the HAFA designation.

    Even with the sales, training, and awards, Barry simply wants you to enjoy the real estate process and have you win in the end.  He consistently tells his clients that he wants them to be empowered by his educating them so that THEY become the market expert. This approach never fails as the client drives the ship and he guides them along the way. Barry’s laid back approach of educating his clients regularly results in them sending their friends and family to him because his previous clients know he will put them first.

During this time he developed the More GCI Agent Management Portal. This SaaS helped agents to business plan, goal track and grow their business.

    After helping that market center rank with in the top 5 he went on a journey to grow More GCI. That journey has led him across the country to speak and train at large, medium and small venues.
