Elite Properties
Posted by John Lockwood on November 17th, 2006
It gives me great pleasure to announce that John Lockwood Associates has just recorded the Fictitious Business Name “Elite Properties” in El Dorado County. Once we’ve let the DRE know and gone through our newspaper publication period, we’ll officially be Elite.
(Off the record, we’re already above average.)
Ironically, “we’re” becoming Elite at the same time as we’re finally becoming “we” and fulfilling the “Associates” prophecy that’s implicit in John Lockwood Associates. Bridget Felmley-Gay is in the process of joining us. Bridget had founded Elite Properties along with Hal Fishler, who has graciously agreed to let us use the name.
Bridget brings some four years of real estate sales to the table, along with a long and varied background in other sales fields. She’s also a good friend and a fine human being, who proves the old Zig Ziglar adage that “You can’t be a good person and a bad salesperson.”
Of course, there’s a possible down side if I finally just use “John Lockwood Associates” as the corporation behind the thone (so to speak — I don’t really own a throne, but maybe I should check on eBay). That is, I won’t be able to use the joke (so to speak again), “John Lockwood Associates — I stayed up all night thinking of that name”.
Any day now we’ll go into the Department of Real Estate and dot all the I’s on this one — when we do we’ll let you know, meantime, all I can say is “welcome to the team” or rather “hey, thanks for making me a team that so I can welcome you to it!”
