Joe Ballarino named NABOR's 2005 Realtor of the Year

Real Estate by Amerivest Realty — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 13:01:00 +0000

Excerpts from an article by Laura Layden, Naples Daily News
Sunday, April 9, 2006

Joe Ballarino is not one to sit on the sidelines. He gives back to his profession and the community. For all that he does, Ballarino was named the 2005 Realtor of the Year on Saturday night by the Naples Area Board of Realtors. He received the award during NABOR’s Annual Night of Honors held at the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club.

“Those honored are very deserving,” said Jo Carter, NABOR’s president. The theme for the event, which takes a year to organize, was “The Pride of Ownership.” It attracted a crowd of about 250.“It’s our biggest night of the year to honor our board members that have participated,” said Penny Wilson, a marketing representative for Midwest Title in Naples and chairwoman of this year’s event. “Most people do not get paid to do this. It’s all volunteer.”

For the past three years, Carter has nominated Ballarino, a former NABOR president and president and CEO of Amerivest Realty in Naples, for the Realtor of the Year award. The honor — the highest given out by NABOR — recognizes Realtors who have helped shape the profession. “He’s served in so many areas the members of NABOR, always with a smile. He’s always willing to help,” Carter said.

The Realtor of the Year winner was kept secret until Saturday night. “It’s fabulous,” a shocked Ballarino, 42, said after receiving the award. “It’s by far the highest honor I could get.” The award, he said, is extra special coming from NABOR. “I keep trying to give more,” he said. “I seem to get more back every time.”

During his presidency, Ballarino spearheaded the development of NABOR’s first leadership training program and set the stage for the association’s involvement with Habitat for Humanity. Under his rein, NABOR was the first to donate to a political action committee working to save the Naples Zoo and it gave $10,000 to a disaster relief fund to help victims of Hurricane Charley.

Over the years, Ballarino has served on numerous NABOR committees, including budget and finance, intranet, logo and multiple listing service, or MLS. He has been instrumental in revising MLS rules and in the design of http://www.naplesarea.com/, NABOR’s official Web site. He helped develop the SunshineMLS, a computerized multiple listing service for Naples and Bonita Springs. Ballarino also has been active in the Florida Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.

Naples Office Adds 200th Agent!

Real Estate by Amerivest Realty — Sat, 26 Nov 2005 14:54:00 +0000

Set as a goal for 2005 and achieved with a month to go, the Naples office of Amerivest Realty announced the addition of the 200th agent/client. The office, opened in the fall of 1998, has never merged or acquired any other brokerage. Each client was added one at a time, based on the value Amerivest Realty can provide its independent contractor/members. It’s a real confirmation of the success of our business plan, especially since we don’t penalize agents if they want to leave the company. There is no one with Amerivest Realty who doesn’t want to be there. This is especially important in maintaining a very positive attitude and air about our company.

The Naples office is now poised to become the leader in the Naples market as it’s planning a second 12,000 SF facility in the heart of Old Naples. When we first opened in Naples we chose a part of town that had little competition. Now we are ready to go head on and see what happens. We look forward to the challenge.

Naples Florida

Real Estate by Amerivest Realty — Sat, 10 Sep 2005 14:32:00 +0000

Naples, Florida was the site of the very first Amerivest Realty office. We actually created the Amerivest Realty name in 1996 and first used it in 1997. After studying the real estate market we established a 100% commission business plan in October 1998. As of this post we have 180+ real estate professionals that we serve.

In 2002 we decided that franchising was the best way to grow our business, so we created a new company called “Amerivest Holdings, Inc.” to hold all the intelluctual property rights and to provide the franchise partner services. We became legally able to offer franchises in 2004 and added our first partner early that spring.
