Providing top-notch customer service with superior results
Brian Helgemo loves the satisfaction of helping customers reach their goals. And it shows. The Helgemo Team consistently ranks among the top three agents by the Board of Realtors’ since 2005. While the average real estate agent sells three-to-four properties per year, Brian sells three-to-four homes per week, adding up to more than 135 sales annually — year after year.
“A home is the largest financial purchase most people will ever make. I truly enjoy helping customers wisely make that investment,” says Brian. “We encourage customers to consider us as their go-to real estate resource, similar to how they view their attorney, CPA or financial planner.”
Brian’s success is not surprising. Real estate is in his blood. His grandmother was among the first women Realtors in the state of Florida. Today, his uncle owns and operates the firm that his grandmother started all those years ago. “My dad practiced real estate law early in his career. He also owned and sold many properties through the years – both by himself and with his brothers,” he says. “It’s definitely a big part of the family legacy.”
A Seamless Process
Brian has an experienced, devoted team that is committed to making the process of buying and selling real estate smooth and seamless for customers. His Executive Assistant acts as the customer liaison and is Brian’s “right hand” person. The team also includes a Listing Coordinator who manages the marketing of properties until they are under contract. The Closing Coordinator is a licensed sales associate who assists with writing contracts and making sure everything goes smoothly until the customer receives their final check. The Buyers’ Specialist works closely with customers assisting them with the purchasing process.
His closest team member, though, is his wife, Bonnie. Bonnie is also a licensed Realtor who joined forces with Brian in 2005 to help manage and grow their thriving business. She negotiates contracts, troubleshoots and takes care of the needs of the team.
“Our team is like a well-oiled machine. We take tremendous pride in our superior communication and customer service,” says Brian. “Someone is always available to answer questions and provide guidance at every step of the process.”
Based upon customer surveys, perhaps one of the attributes that customers value most from the Helgemo Team is their honesty. According to Brian, “We are always truthful with our customers about the market and about their property, even when it’s hard for them to hear.” He explains, “We know that facing realities and being upfront with them from the start is a win-win for the customers, saving them both time and money.”
Superior Results in a Tough Market
Brian belongs to the industry’s most powerful real estate coaching program in the country, which only the top one percent of Realtors belong to nationally. Despite a challenging economy, he says this training, combined with his team’s commitment to staying on top of changes in the market, enables them to consistently deliver superior results for their customers.
“Our training keeps us advised on what’s coming next and how we can prepare for it,” he explains. “We also stay on top of the latest proven marketing techniques and strategies and check market statistics on a daily basis to keep our finger on the pulse.”
Committed to the Community
Over the past 12 years, Brian and his team have helped more than 1,300 families buy and sell property in this area. He has deep ties to this community and enjoys being able to serve the people who live here. Brian and Bonnie live in Punta Gorda with their two young boys. His entire family also lives in Charlotte County, including his parents and brothers Dr. Stephen Helgemo, a hand specialist, and Dr. Ben Helgemo, a pediatrician.
The Helgemo Team extends services to all of Charlotte County, South Sarasota and North Lee County, with their office located at the entrance to Punta Gorda Isles.
