What Our Agents Say

My favorite part of working with Shutters & Sails is the supportive team & friendly admins. Danette is very friendly and timely with helping agents' needs. Ellen puts out amazing newsletters and is great with team communication! As a new agent, I felt comfortable and welcomed from my initial conversations with Laurie! S&S was highly recommended to me for their professional team leadership. While searching for a brokerage, I valued mentorship the most. S&S was a great fit for my needs! Being part of the Gold Anchor Team, I felt the support that I needed and access to enough resources to help navigate through the initial learning curve as a new agent. It is the perfect place for agents who value learning opportunities, growth, structured mentorship and a supportive team environment!

My favorite part of working with  Shutters & Sails is learning more about real estate while working with experienced professionals. I love Ellen's sense of humor and how she keeps things fun. She always includes little jokes or comments in the newsletters and emails that makes me look forward to reading it. I love how Laurie is so supportive through the whole onboarding process and she always makes a point to make a personal connection with everyone she meets. She truly feels like a mentor more than a boss. I love Shutters & Sails because it seems like everyone (agents, admin, leadership) all have different backgrounds, interests, hobbies, lifestyles, etc which shows how versatile Real Estate is as a career. It's really inspiring to me and shows that if you're motivated, you can use your background experience as a competitive edge to standout. You should join Shutters & Sails because they truly care about the success and growth of their agents. This is demonstrated through the ongoing mentor opportunities, onboarding, and training materials. Whether you're a new agent or a transferring agent, Shutters & Sails will help you to grow alongside their team.

Hello Laurie and Amanda,

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the support thus far and all of the resources you have provided me since I joined Century21 Shutters & Sails - Coastal Team. The tools and training you have equipped me with have made a significant difference in my business, and I am truly grateful.

I just received an email from a potential buyer I met at a networking event a few weeks before joining the team. The positive feedback I receive from clients, including this buyer, highlights the impact of the resources and support provided by our team.

"I am so impressed with your follow up. Very nice email. For right now, we decided to keep our Chesapeake, VA property as we got a good military family in it for the next three years. However, I am glad you set me up to get some listings to see, so I can get an idea of the market here. I got one email already." - Indira 

One of my clients who decided to stay with me mentioned, "this is amazing! fancy! it's so you!" in reference to the tools I now have at my disposal.

These accolades are a testament to the effectiveness of the tools and the encouragement I receive from you and the team on a daily basis. Your leadership has uplifted my business and inspired me to achieve more. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and encourage you right back, just as you do for us directly and indirectly on a daily basis .

Thank you once again for everything you do. Have a wonderful day!

Warm regards,

Margarida Martins-Querido
