Batman has got nothing on some of the situations Paul has worked<br />

through. In one of those nightmare scenarios, everyone banded<br />

together over the fourth of July weekend to help an elderly woman<br />

pack up to relocate to Florida after the moving company she hired<br />

never showed up.<br />

"At the end of the day, whatever it takes to get things done," said Grall.<br />

HEALTHY WORKPLACE CULTURE CULTIVATES BUSINESS<br />

Way<br />

Dallaire<br />

the<br />

Dallaire Realty has a unique approach to buying and selling homes in Northeast Wisconsin. Opening its doors in 2011,<br />

the team describes itself as a tech company that happens to sell real estate. Several factors set them apart from other<br />

real estate companies and agents, but their secret weapon is their skill set, experience and workplace culture which<br />

helps them to continuously put the client first.<br />

We want to make the home buying process as easy and as stress-free<br />

as possible," said Sarah Wallace, who is a Real Estate Consultant with<br />

Dallaire Realty for five years.<br />

Broker/Owner, Greg Dallaire, said they understand the process of<br />

buying and selling a home can be confusing, overwhelming and<br />

stressful but that's what their team is there for. He added that having<br />

quality agents versus quantity sets their team and their clients up for<br />

success. Dallaire Realty has 13 passionate and experienced real estate<br />

agents.<br />

"Having the best of the best in the business takes saying no more than<br />

you say yes," said Dallaire. He added that each one of his agents sells<br />

an average of 45 to 50 homes per year. According to the National<br />

Association of Realtors, he added that the average number of homes a<br />

real estate agent sells is seven. Each agent with Dallaire has a unique<br />

background to them but with each agent selling dozens of homes a<br />

year, they continue to gain more and more experience and<br />

understanding of the many different situations that can happen when<br />

buying and selling a home.<br />

"In the real estate market, each transaction is<br />

completely different, you don't know what issues may<br />

come up. We have people on our team that have a<br />

background in lending, mortgage officers, zoning and<br />

planning, construction and homebuilding. We have<br />

those resources internally so we can reach out to each<br />

other instead of waiting to hear back," said Wallace.<br />

Dallaire services the Green <strong>Bay</strong>, Appleton, Oshkosh and<br />

North Woods areas. They have professional<br />

photographers as well as FAA-licensed drone pilots.<br />

Unique to them is its three full-time support staff,<br />

which includes Paul Grall, the company's go-to person<br />

when there's a crisis. Paul is an incredible and humble<br />

problem-solver with more than 18 years of experience<br />

in mortgage, an underwriter, closing manager and<br />

processor.<br />

"Every Batman needs a Robin," said Paul Grall, Dallaire<br />

Realty's Closing Manager.<br />

"We've always believed in not<br />

discriminating on the price of the<br />

home. We've never strayed from<br />

that. You get our best quality no<br />

matter the price of your home.<br />

That's what the client deserves," said<br />

Dallaire. What that means is if you<br />

have a home selling for $50,000 you<br />

get the same quality, aerial photos<br />

and all the bells and whistles Dallaire<br />

Realty provides with your listing as<br />

the home selling for $500,000.<br />

When you work with Dallaire, you're<br />

not just a client but you become a<br />

part of their growing community.<br />

"More than 45% of our business<br />

from last year came from either a<br />

referral or past clients, which I think<br />

is a testament to our process," said<br />

Dallaire.<br />

Each year those clients are treated<br />

to a handful of community events<br />

such as professional family<br />

photoshoots in the park, a free<br />

movie day with the family and golf<br />

events.<br />

"We really love doing it too and we<br />

want to give value to our clients,"<br />

said Dallaire. "It's just one way we<br />

can show appreciation to our past<br />

clients,"<br />

In today's market, buying and<br />

selling a home has become an<br />

intense battleground with<br />

properties getting an average of<br />

four offers or more per house sold,<br />

according to the NAR. The<br />

competition in this industry<br />

without people like the Dallaire<br />

team can be tough and lead to<br />

burnout. It can be a very<br />

demanding industry, which is why<br />

Dallaire focuses on its workplace<br />

culture. They found that happy<br />

agents work really well and create<br />

happy customers time and time<br />

again.<br />

"Our agents have a better life and<br />

service our customers better by<br />

having what we call a showing<br />

assistant so we work together as a<br />

collaborative team to make sure,<br />

say Sarah, can be able to go to her<br />

daughter's soccer game," said<br />

Dallaire.<br />

Having the showing assistant can<br />

help the client tenfold when it<br />

comes to wanting to see a property<br />

on a certain day. Thanks to the<br />

team's collaboration skills, they<br />

work around their schedules, so if a<br />

client wants to see a home a<br />

certain day, Dallaire can make it<br />

happen with a showing assistant or<br />

an agent so the client doesn't miss<br />

out on a buying opportunity.<br />

"We're master negotiators, we take our job<br />

extremely seriously and represent our client's best<br />

interest all the time and we share this knowledge<br />

with our agents. We check in with each other<br />

because we believe accountability is love. We want<br />

to succeed but most importantly we want our clients<br />

to succeed every time," said Dallaire.<br />
