Thoughts from Erik Peterson
As we roll into 2023, I would like to take a moment to pause to reflect on the best year in our company's history. A massive thank you to all of our agents, their families, and most importantly, our clients for helping us achieve this momentous milestone. Thanks to you, Proven was able to close 160 transactions; representing $73.3M in sales volume, a 36% increase from '21. We all appreciate your trust, faith, and support in us. We can already tell 2023 will be just as exciting.
Proven is honored to welcome Lucas Natwick to the Proven family! He will be our Director of Sales and Attraction and will support our agents through training, coaching, and skill development. In addition, he will help us attract and support like-minded real estate professionals looking to build sustainable real estate careers. I know firsthand the pressures of being an independent agent and broker. With increasing market volatility, these pressures compound. It is my hope that Proven can offer guidance and relief to any struggling agents and brokers. Lucas will be paramount in these efforts.
Lucas is not only one of the best agents out there, but more importantly, he is an incredible person. He is always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need, is one of the most intelligent people I have met, and without failure, does what he says he will. He is a Williston native with deep roots in the Bakken and prior to moving to real estate full-time, he worked in the Oil and Gas Industry. In his first two years, Lucas has successfully negotiated over $20 Million in transactions as an independent agent. He brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and connections to the team and will undoubtedly take us to new heights. Welcome brother!
We are prepared for another big year in real estate and as we head in '23 are beyond optimistic. Interest rates have pulled back significantly, wages and oil prices are strong and the economic outlook in North Dakota is one of the strongest in the world. We welcome any opportunity to help you with any of your real estate needs. Give us a call, you won't regret it.
