After only two years, Lake Area Real Estate Company Expands!
LAKE OZARK-- Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate announced a large business expansion plan in October. The cutting edge Real Estate firm that has far exceeded its sales goals over the past two years at the Lake of the Ozarks has expanded its office space and its online presence. Customers already familiar with the company won’t have to go far to access Gattermeir Davidson’s new office across the parking lot from their previous building.
“We simply ran out of space and we needed to expand our facility. We added more offices, a better work environment for our agents and staff, and we also get better exposure with this new location facing the highway,” said partner Ryan Gattermeir.
The move allows the company to gain 600 sq. ft. of space and allows its 14 full time agents and 4 staff members more room to work.
In its first year of operation, Gattermeir Davidson recorded just over
$35 million in sales volume and have just upped the ante for 2010 to $50
Million+ in sales volume. “Most real estate companies are looking for ways to cut costs or cut expenses, but we’re growing our business,” Gattermeir said.
The firm does about half of its business through a proprietary online marketing and lead system, known as TigerLead. In their new office near Highway 54 and W in Lake Ozark, a widescreen television in the reception area puts the TigerLead system on display, where clients and customers can see in real time where buyers are looking for property on a map of the lake area.
Gattermeir Davidson’s agents use the technology to keep in touch as they show property all over the lake. “We’re growing and we’re doing a large number of transactions with a great mix of experienced and aggressive agents,” said partner Conda Davidson. “We are very busy and we like it that way.” Gattermeir Davidson also expanded its online presence starting with www.GotLake.com. The focus on this new property search site is to further increase the number of people in search of lake area properties. When the firm was founded, Gattermeir Davidson represented the buyers in most transactions, but will use its online presence to help sellers as they try to sell property in a time where the national market has a bad reputation. “To list property really makes you a better agent because you know where a specific property fits in with the other ones you have seen out there and the ones you have sold,” said Davidson. “We hope that sellers are taking note of the number of transactions that our company is actually representing the buyers, because it would benefit them to call us to list their property.”
The company’s online presence demonstrates the need for today’s real estate agents to provide a service for prospective second home and primary home buyers. “We have always strived to ‘go where the buyers are,’ which is the Internet, and that is just what every Seller needs....a Buyer!” said partner, Ed Schmidt.
Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate, along with Arrowhead Title & the Rest of Lakeside Office Plaza, will be hosting an Open House on Friday October 22nd starting at 3:30pm with a ribbon cutting ceremony and followed with beverages for all ages, light appetizers & cookies to 6pm. Arrowhead Title and Gattermeir Davidson will showcase their new office space at 752 Bagnell Dam Blvd., Lakeside Office Plaza. The public is welcome to come join them for some fall festivities and fun!
