It’s ideas like that that help keep us at the forefront.” Finally, he adds, “I’m a straight shooter; I call ‘em like I see them. I am who I am. I feel like most realtors are like used car salesmen. I care more about a relationship than a sale, because if you have a good experience with me, you’re going to tell your friends and familymembers about it and then you’ll use me and they’ll use me and recommend me to other people. It’s a snowball effect, and I think a lot of other people don’t see the bigger picture; they see the short-term paycheck.” Laricy reports that his long-term goal is simple: “To be the number one agent in all of Illinois. Right now,we’re number four; last year,we finished at number five.The number one guy is leaps and bounds ahead of us–he’ll probably finish at least a hundred million more than me, this year, but that’s always the goal.And I believe the tortoise wins the race. Sometimes, you could get bigger, but if you grow too quickly, it ends up toppling and failing.The quality goes down, you can’t control as much. Can I add ten agents on, today, and hit $300 million? I’d be surprised if I couldn’t. But the reality is that I thinkmy quality would suffer so much, than I’d rather take my time. I’mmaking sure that when we do grow,we grow at the right pace. So, it might take me another two years to get to number one, but that’s going to happen.And when we get to num- ber one,my next goal is to get to be the number one agency in the world, which is not that far off, because, if you’re number one in Illinois, you’re THE MATT LARICY GROUP not that far behind the guys in NewYork and Califor- nia. And, once we conquer that, I’ll probably decide to get out of the sales role and just build the company to be the biggest in the world. People want to work with people who knowwhat they’re doing and that’s something I can offer all day long. Right now, I’m having fun in the field, but way down the line, I’ll go the route of building up the best company. “Right now,we’re a boutique company.My saying is: ‘think big, choose small.’Our goal is to provide the best customer service possible.We run a well- oiled machine from start to finish.The minute we get a hold of you to the minute you close,we have a system in place to make the home buying or home selling process as easy as possible.We’ve created sys- tems through Google applications tomake it so,wher- ever you are in the world, you can pull a document to make sure you’re on track.Our goal is to perfect that even more than it is, to make it easier for our clients. Also, everybody in my group is either a familymem- ber or someone I’ve grown up with.And people who work with us get that sense that we have not just the pride of trying to be the best we can be, but we also have that family environment, and people really enjoy that fact.” Being the little guy in a city of tens of thousands of real estate agents has never dulled Laricy’s en- thusiasm for the business, nor his belief that being number one is an achievable goal. Already, he has been named one of the top 30 agents under 30 in the country by the National Association of Real- tors, as well as making REAL Trend’s list of the top 1,000 agents, nationwide. And for any other Davids out there in a world full of Goliaths, he has this advice: “For those who want to quit their job and start a business, and are told, every single day, that they can’t do it, I think it’s important to tell these people that they can do it – if they try.” PREFERRED VENDOR n Already Home Inspections www.alreadyhome.net
