Announcing the opening of an Intero Real Estate Services franchise office in Folsom, CA

SILICON VALLEY, CA – June 21, 2011 – David Bicknell along with business partner and wife, Melisa Bicknell, will have a grand opening of their new Intero Real Estate Services franchise office in Folsom, CA on June 29, 2011.

David Bicknell, broker and owner of the new Intero Folsom Lake explains: “After careful consideration in choosing a brand with which to affiliate ourselves with, the Intero® management team demonstrated a high level of quality leadership, a proper culture of unwavering values and industry leading support in critical areas such as training and marketing.”

“We are pleased to welcome Intero Folsom Lake to the Intero family, a truly innovative organization that is growing while others are shrinking,” said Intero Franchise Services, Inc. President and CEO, Gino Blefari. “This expansion speaks to our commitment to innovate and thrive in an ever-changing business.”

Previously residing in Morgan Hill, within walking distance of the first Intero office, the Bicknell’s had the opportunity to watch the Intero brand grow and become the fastest growing real estate company since its 2002 inception. The outstanding success of the Intero® brand reassured them that opening their own office, Intero Folsom Lake, under a leading U.S. brokerage, will help them grow and innovate in today’s market.

Intero Folsom Lake, a highly visible retail location on the corner of one of the busiest intersections in Folsom, will feature a similar concept of the Intero Andare(sm) design, a smaller technology-rich and more eco-friendly space designed for today’s mobile REALTOR. Some of its unique features will include a flat panel TV to show properties to clients and wireless access. Additionally, the office hosts Short Sale Seminars for the public every other Saturday at 10am, which include business partner resources such as a real estate attorney, CPA and investment specialist.

Intero Folsom Lake will specialize in residential real estate in Sacramento, El Dorado and Placer counties. The location of this office is very convenient, in that this intersection connects El Dorado Hills, Folsom and Granite Bay.

With currently 10 agents on board, David and Melisa plan to grow their office to 40 agents by the end of the year.

David Bicknell spent many years in senior management positions within the consumer electronics industry, including Director of Merchandising and Operations for Fry’s Electronics and President of BlueAnt Wireless, Inc. Melisa Bicknell spent several years in Human Resources and Training with both a mortgage company and a high tech company, and most recently was a Realtor with the Intero office in Gilroy, CA.

Together, David and Melisa have opened the doors to their new real estate office in Folsom, CA and are focused on creating an energetic office with happy and satisfied agents and clients as the end result.

Short-Term Memory

By Chris Stuart | February 16th, 2011 4 Comments

As a real-estate broker/owner or sales manager it’s important to balance the requirements of self-assessment and reflection with the ability to dump your short-term memory.

This lesson is played out in virtually every part of our lives; parenting, friendship, business, sports, etc. In a sports context, you’ve heard quarterbacks during their post-game conference recount a fumble, interception or a missed pass to a wide-open receiver, refer to their “forgetting quickly” as the key to overcoming the adversity and leading their team to victory.

Major League Baseball pitchers share their mental perspective after a bad pitch that resulted in a multi-base hit or home run and typically refer to their ability to “leave it behind them” as the key to being able to get back on the mound, assess the next batter and serve up strikes to get themselves out of a bad inning. In fact, last month I had an opportunity to listen to Major League Baseball pitcher Dallas Braden present to a small group of Realtors. In May of 2010, Dallas accomplished something that had only been done 19 times in the entire HISTORY of Major League Baseball. Dallas threw a perfect game; no walks, hits, runs or errors (watch the final 2 outs of that game here). Dallas talked about the mental discipline he’s established to be able to forget each pitch as it leaves his hand, talk about dumping the short term memory!

No matter the playing field, sports, business, parenting, or friendship, to get to the top you have to be self-aware and assess progress on your own terms. Sure, it’s valuable to get other peoples’ feedback and to have accountability partners and coaches but let’s face it, part of the reason we’ve accomplished success in life is that we’re our own worst critic! And while that’s a characteristic that’s propelled our success, it can also hold us back from growing and accomplishing our bigger goals.

The human condition is rooted in the principle of accomplishment, by nature we don’t want to do things that we’re not good at or put ourselves in a position to fail. The problem with too much self-assessment and second guessing is that we compound mistakes and tell ourselves that we need to “stay put” and not stretch for a bigger goal.

By committing to maintain a “right now” focus and develop a short-term memory for things that we’ve done we’re devoting ourselves to the future. To constantly relive a bad sales meeting, or a conversation with an Agent that didn’t go the way you wanted it to, second guess a decision to hire someone or make a change to your compensation policy is to rehash the past and minimize the pursuit of our bigger goals. When the pitch is thrown, forget it, let’s get on to the next one!!
