Americorp - Laricy

7 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 10 AMERICORP - LARICY “So, we continue to make waves.” “We are also hands down the biggest most reviewed agent online, with 1000 or more reviews than the next guy; I think we do a fantastic job.” Making waves in a down market “Look, the market in Chicago is down. The numbers are about 37.5% year to date from this time last year and this is just a stat. Most people’s businesses are way, way down year over year.” Laricy attributes these numbers to the general tendency for sellers to “stay frozen” due to the fact they are locked into low interest rates. They don’t have anywhere to move, and do not want to lose the rates they have. “Even our sales are down about 15% year to date. So, although we are lower than where we were last year, we are still beating the average substantially. “At this point, I am at least 10 million above the number two person right now and I am about 100 sales more than the number two person right now.” “We are doing extremely well and we are on pace to finish around 275 million in sales and roughly 500 transactions which will put us down about 20 million for last year, however for the environment we are in we are crushing it,” he highlights.
