Ask RE/MAX In Motion owner Tim Fiebig today and he’ll tell
you it was never his intent to open his own real estate company.
He just wanted things to be better. Surely you can relate. Have
you ever found yourself doing something, only to ask yourself, “Why
on Earth would anyone do things this way?” Well, so did Tim.
Turn back the clock to 1990, and as a veteran with 12 years in
Castro Valley real estate, Tim had established himself among the
East Bay’s leading real estate professionals. He’d entered
the business at the tender age of 21 with only his strong work ethic
and a “never say die” philosophy, two possessions that
proved to be his ticket to success. However, the more successful
and more efficient he became, the more Tim noticed an industry that
in no way resembled the real-world business environment he envisioned
possible.
Envisioning the Possibilities
Tim’s
ideal world wasn’t a pipe dream, it was just a real estate
office where the business was taken seriously and where full-time,
dedicated professionals were offered the support they needed to
elevate their careers to the upper echelon of the industry. He envisioned
an environment and colleagues that would make him proud of what
he did rather than embarrass him. He wanted an office where agents’
ideas were heard and acted upon. So, facing a crossroads of fulfilling
this vision or growing more and more frustrated with his career,
Tim set out to find this environment. And guess what? It didn’t
exist.
Bringing the Dream to Life
Figuring necessity is the mother of invention, Tim took it upon
himself to create this ideal environment by opening the doors of
Castro Valley’s RE/MAX In Motion. At the time, he didn’t
even have his broker’s license, forcing him to hire a broker
to fill in until Tim could earn his own license several months later.
Tim’s Concept Takes Flight
Tim soon learned he apparently wasn’t the only one who shared
his ideal of a better place to work. Within a few years, he had
built RE/MAX In Motion into a leading-edge brokerage of more than
50 agents by creating the type of office he always knew was possible.
Just two years into business, Tim was named RE/MAX Northern California’s
broker/owner of the year. He followed that achievement with the
national acclaim as broker/owner of the year as well.
The Dream, Realized
Step
into RE/MAX In Motion’s beautiful Castro Valley offices and
it’s easy to see what’s to like. There’s a palpable
sense of camaraderie, fueled by continual training sessions not
only from Tim but also from many of North America’s leading
real estate speakers. There’s no pretense here. Ask any agent
and they’ll say it’s unlike any office environment they’ve
ever experienced. Technologically, the office is years ahead of
the norm, with high-speed Internet access, the fastest computers
and flat-screen monitors throughout, again giving their agents the
power to best serve even the most discriminating of clientele.
“I always knew it was possible,” Tim says. “I
may have founded the company, but the real credit goes to the incredible
team of professionals we’ve assembled here. It’s a great
feeling to be surrounded by like-minded professinals who want to
move real estate forward.”
Moving
in the Right Direction
Add it all up, and it’s no wonder RE/MAX In Motion is widely
considered the brokerage of choice in East Bay real estate. Since
1990, Tim Fiebig and his associates have set the standard for pioneering
new innovations in the industry, and today is no different. When
the time comes for your next move, look to RE/MAX In Motion for
all your real estate needs. They’re Moving Forward.
