Barbara Tesa has Reached the 2024 Commission Cap!

Congratulations From Dana Green, President Of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Green Team, to Barbara Tesa for reaching the commission cap for Company Dollar Contribution in 2024!

 

 

“I’m thrilled to congratulate Barbara on reaching the cap once again. Her professionalism and work ethic truly set her apart from the competition. Barbara is incredibly sharp, highly responsive, and always goes the extra mile for her clients. She tirelessly ensures every detail is taken care of, which is why she remains one of BHGRE Green Team’s top producers. Congratulations, Barbara! Keep up the fantastic work!”

-Dana Green

 

 

Barbara’s dedication to her clients and hard work has allowed her to reach the cap on her commission with BHGRE Green Team. This is an outstanding accomplishment and means Barbara will now receive a 100% commission split on any deal she closes during 2024.

 

“So happy to have reached CAP! BUT, while reaching the Company CAP feels great for any agent, the interesting thing about it is this: it is not necessarily a reflection of any agent’s hard work in any given year or any given market.  I believe most agents who take this profession seriously work really hard; and working hard doesn’t always result in a volume of success that results in reaching CAP.  This success also has a lot to do with LUCK.  I’m genuinely GRATEFUL to be lucky enough to have friends, family, former & current clients who continue to send me referrals and trust me to deliver the best service I can.  Much of my efforts will focus on continuing that trend and staying focused on my clients’ goals, which ultimately is what helps me get closer to my goal each year.  🏡🏡🏡 – Barbara Tesa

 

 

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate  Green Team’s commission structure is undoubtedly one of the finest in the industry, but it doesn’t end there.  Our lead generation platform, certified sales assistant program, and dynamic training systems are just a few other things worth mentioning.

Agency News and AwardsHaunted Homes- Tales from a Realtor October 20, 2022

Haunted Homes: Barbara Tesa’s tale from Clinton Road

Barbara Tesa shares her frightening experience on New Jersey’s Clinton Road.

Clinton Road is located in West Milford New Jersey, and became famous for being one of America’s most Haunted Highways. This 10-mile stretch is home to many paranormal experiences, hair-raising folklore, and even true crime stories. Aside from that, being surrounded by a dense forest and with extremely limited cell phone service, Clinton Road can make anyone feel uneasy…

A road filled with hauntings

It was a rainy October evening and Barbara was on her way to meet clients at a home they wanted to view. Due to the rain causing traffic delays, Barbara was running a few minutes late. She decided to call her clients to notify them of her delay but they had hesitation in going into the home. Barbara insisted they wait just a little longer for her to arrive; they agreed. 

Barbara began to feel uneasy. The rain started to come down in buckets and the road began to narrow; she was surrounded by dense woods to the right and what appeared to be a pond on the left. 

As the rain came down harder, Barbara needed to slow down to be able to see out her windshield. Up ahead she saw a couple on a tandem bicycle, as she approached them she was able to see they were dressed in clothes from an era well behind us. She thought to herself “They must be going to a Halloween party somewhere close by but how strange to be out in this weather.”

A moment later she came upon a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. A man was standing there with his foot propped up against his Jeep, wearing a cowboy hat while smoking a cigarette. It was almost as if he was enjoying the scenery on a beautiful sunny fall day. 

Up ahead, a man appeared on the left side of the road. He was standing in front of his motorcycle with his helmet resting on the seat. Again, enjoying the day as if the rain had no effect on him. 

Barbara called her clients to let them know she was only seconds away. They told her they were no longer interested in the home because the area gave them an eerie feeling. Barbara notified the listing agent to let her know they would not be viewing this home and to make the owner aware. 

Barbara decided to make a K-Turn in the road to head back towards the highway; the road was so narrow it became a disheartening task. The rain continued to come down and her heart began to race.  Barbara called her husband to ease her uncomfortable feeling, and he remained on the phone until she made it back to the main road. She told her husband about the strange occurrences that she had seen and yet, moments later after turning around, the man by his motorcycle, the man with the cowboy hat, and the couple on a tandem bicycle had all disappeared. 

When Barbara got home she spoke with the seller’s agent who suggested she look up “Clinton Road in West Milford NJ”.  Barbara gasped at what she read; apparently what she had seen were APPARITIONS; Ghosts of the past!  

This is a true story based on the experience of Barbara Tesa. 

A Spine Chilling Story

An experience like that is sure to give you goosebumps for years to come. A quick google search will show hundreds of other stories similar to Barbaras, perhaps you even have your own. If you’ve never visited Clinton Road would you be brave enough to?

Congrats to Barbara Tesa For Reaching the Cap!

Congratulations From Geoffrey Green, President Of Green Team Realty, To Barbara Tesa for reaching the commission cap for Company Dollar Contribution in 2021!

Geoff’s thought on Barbara hitting cap:

 

“Barbara’s professionalism and work ethic set her apart from the competition.  She is super sharp, very responsive, and always doing her best for her clients. Barbara works tirelessly to ensure every last thing is taken care of for her clients.  She will definitely continue to be a top producing Realtor in the Sussex County marketplace for many years to come.  Congrats Barbara!”

 

 

 

Barbara Tesa‘s dedication to her clients and hard work has allowed her to reach the cap on her commission with Green Team Realty. This is an outstanding accomplishment and means Barbara Tesa will now receive a 100% commission split on any deal she closes during 2021.

 

Barbara’s thoughts on hitting the cap:

“I couldn’t be happier to have reached company CAP at Green Team New Jersey Realty. The sales commission structure at Green Team keeps me incentivized and focused on my business throughout the year. And, while it’s energizing to know that my commissions for the rest of Q3 and Q4 2021 will be at 100%, it’s my clients – past and present – who are the focus of my business. I’ve had the pleasure to work with so many wonderful people throughout the years. Seeing them be happy is rewarding to me and, though I’ve helped them reach THEIR goals of finding their dream home or listing, marketing, selling their current home, it is they who have actually helped me reach MY goal. This business is competitive and challenging much of the time; and buying/selling a home is an arduous process for most. So, when clients put their trust in me and are satisfied with my service throughout the process, I’ve reached my goal. It is their satisfaction that motivates me. I am so very thankful for my clients as well as their referrals, which I very much welcome and appreciate; they all make up the heart of my business and I look forward to continuing to serve their real estate needs. To Green Team New Jersey Realty, I am thankful for the team support, encouragement and, of course, the CAP Program!”

 

Green Team Realty’s commission structure is, no doubt, one of the finest in the industry, but it doesn’t end there.  Our lead generation platform, certified sales assistant program, and dynamic training systems are just a few other things worth mentioning.
