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
