Employment With Platinum Properties International & Related Divisions

The Platinum Solution™...

Until now, there haven’t been truly satisfactory answers to many of the questions that traditionally concern real estate professionals, such as:

• I’m unemployed after each sale!
• After I close the transactions I have in escrow, where is my next paycheck going to come from?
• How can I increase my income with only 24 hours in a day?
• If I get sick, or take a long vacation, how will I continue to pay my bills?
• Is there a way to expand my business without running afoul of all the RESPA rules and regulations?
• Do I have to give away the profitable additional business that my real estate clients generate, such as escrow, mortgage lending, and other related services?
• I’m tired of “renting” my business. What can I do to “own” it?
• How can I build equity for my future financial security, and retirement?
• How can I protect myself against discount-commission and fee-based brokers cutting into my income?

These, and other issues face Realtors® in today’s fast-paced and increasingly competitive real estate market. Platinum Properties International, which prides itself on innovation and a willingness to face issues head-on, rather than stick its head in the sand and pretend they don’t exist, has the answers:

Platinum Properties International…

Platinum Properties International has achieved an enviable record of success. PPI’s agents are among the most productive in Orange County and have recorded the fastest overall sale time for company listings. PPI’s goal is to exceed its record performance year-over-year by attracting top agents, and motivating them to excel by offering them the opportunity to become part owners in the firm.

PPI’s business model is designed to give shareholder-agents the opportunity to profit from all of the real estate services that the company offers, including escrow and mortgage lending. Equally important, PPI operates a flexible office structure to encourage agents to build their own personal brands so as to differentiate themselves from the “generic” agent model that many firms use. PPI recognizes that real estate is a personal service business, and encourages its agents to stand out from the crowd.

All agents also have the opportunity to build residual income through the Company’s Platinum Recruiting program, whereby an agent who recruits productive professionals who join the Platinum Team receive a percentage of the commissions generated by their recruits. Through this program, a successful recruiter can earn significant passive income from the success of others.

As icing on the cake, PPI’s Services Rendered Program gives agents the opportunity to earn Platinum Bucks, which can be used to pay for advertising and other promotional programs, and for development of their personal brands.

Company history…

Platinum Properties International’s predecessor firm was founded in Irvine in the early 1980’s as an ERA franchisee. As it grew, and relocated to larger offices, the company became a Fred Sands franchisee to capitalize on the upscale Fred Sands image. In 1997, Jason Hartman acquired the company to leverage his personal sales success and share his innovative methods with other independent-minded real estate and mortgage professionals. After the acquisition of the Fred Sands franchiser by a large conglomerate in 2001, Hartman decided to become independent and changed the company’s name to Platinum Properties International. The company was re-launched with a new master plan to build a true full-service real estate provider. Under Hartman’s Progressive style of leadership, the company is experiencing the greatest growth and success in its history.

Cutting edge technology…

Platinum Properties International strives to efficiently incorporate new ideas and technologies that can enhance its competitive position and its ability to leverage its strengths. Until recently, cutting-edge methods were the exclusive domain of deep-pocketed national mega-firms, putting smaller players at a competitive disadvantage. This is no longer the case. Today, readily available Internet and telecommunications technologies enable smaller firms to offer the same quality of value-added services as the larger firms, such as computerized database systems, sophisticated client management programs, interactive voice response, auto responders, voice broadcasting, and a variety of Internet-based service providers. These technologies and tools vastly increase an agent’s ability to scale his or her professional services to a very wide customer and prospect base.

In addition to these facilities, PPI utilizes innovative advertising and public relations campaigns, strategic alliances and partnerships, and a “boutique” approach to customized services so that each client’s special needs can be met.

The future…

PPI is now positioned to expand its operations in two key directions: additional offices and additional services. As the Orange County market expands into previously undeveloped geographical areas, PPI will be opening high visibility satellite offices in strategic locations. This will enable the company to expand its brand and offer its agents the opportunity to establish a high-profile presence in new housing tracts as they are developed.

PPI’s business plan also envisions the addition of several real estate-related services so as to capture the profits traditionally lost to outside service providers such as escrow, mortgage lending, relocation, and insurance. Within the last year, the company launched Sterling Escrow Services™ and Platinum Lending Group™ to provide a broad line of essential services to its clients. Those agents who become shareholders are also able to share in the profits generated by these additional services.

Management Personnel…

Platinum Properties International fully appreciates the need for strong support and management for a successful real estate business. All key personnel are located in the local office, not in some faraway corporate bureaucracy. This enables quick decision-making and an accurate sense of the local market. Associates have ready access to all levels of management and can have immediate assistance if and when it is needed.

Key staff members are hired not only for their experience, but for their willingness “to go the extra mile” for the company. Teamwork is stressed and everyone benefits from the success of their peers. This is especially so for shareholders, who can receive passive income from affiliated services (such as escrow and lending), reducing their dependence on real estate commissions and allowing them greater freedom to enjoy outside interests and spend more time with their families.

In summary…

Platinum Properties International is the model for future real estate companies. Just as partnerships have enabled law firms, medical practices and other professional organizations to grow and reward those who contribute to that growth, PPI’s shareholder structure gives progressive agents the opportunity to build equity in their businesses, create value for their future financial security, and own rather than rent the fruits of their success.
