AVALAR EXPANDS FROM COAST TO COAST!

 

SAN ANTONIO, TX - We would like to welcome Kent Hicks and his team to Avalar! Mr. Hicks had been operating an independent office with over 60 agents for the past four years prior to joining Avalar. He has been in the Real Estate industry for 37 years, and has accumulated nearly $2 billion in sales throughout his career. Additionally, Mr. Hicks hosts a radio show in San Antonio every Saturday on WOAI 1200AM. His broadcast can be heard nationwide on www.woai.com; log on to hear the latest real estate news or call in to ask a question.

Mr. Hicks began to research different franchise models after deciding the market was changing and he needed to offer his agents something new. He stated Avalar provides a business model for the future, and is excited to provide his agents with an opportunity to receive residual income. The Path to Success program will help strengthen recruiting and retention efforts and encourage agents to bring new salespeople to the office.

COLUMBUS, GA – John Peak has joined Avalar and he brings with him over 20 years of experience in home building and development. As a graduate of both Auburn University and Columbus State, Mr. Peak has the knowledge to lead a successful real estate office that will compliment his existing business as an investor, developer and consultant, which he shares with his brother, Fred D. Peak.

Columbus is 55 miles from Ft. Benning, a U.S. Army base. As more bases around the country close, military members are relocating to Ft. Benning; the population is expected to increase by 30,000 over the next 10 years. Mr. Peak hopes to bring the future of real estate to Columbus and provide a resource for new residents to buy and sell homes. He believes that Avalar’s agent-driven concept and revenue sharing platform will help create a successful office that the local community will benefit from.

ARLINGTON, TX – We would like to welcome Kevin and Taylor Ward to Avalar! Together they have 17 years of real estate experience and have worked for companies such as ReMax and Century 21. Kevin and Taylor will lead two offices in the Dallas area: one in Arlington and the other in Coppell. They see Avalar as a great opportunity and appreciate the flexibility to operate their office in a way they find most productive. Although the market is challenging, their goal is to teach agents how to survive, prosper and take advantage of the changes.
