Memphis, Tenn. (July 7, 2017) - Crye-Leike Real Estate Services, the nation's fifth-largest independent residential real estate firm, is expanding outside of the continental United States for the first time in its 40-year history, with a new franchised office in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Santiago Coll-Camalez, a veteran independent real estate broker in San Juan, is now the owner and managing broker of the new Crye?Leike franchise in San Juan, the capital of and largest city in Puerto Rico, an island commonwealth that is a territory of the United States. About 1 million people live in the San Juan area. Coll-Camalez has been a real estate broker there since 2004, operating as an independent, said Keith Sullivan, president of Crye?Leike Franchises and chief marketing officer for Crye-Leike. Most of the major real estate brands familiar to Americans on the continental U.S. are active in Puerto Rico; however, the market also has many small independent real estate firms. Coll-Camalez's small formerly independent brokerage has three full-time and one part-time agent, with plans to grow to about 14 agents, Sullivan said. Sullivan said the company would like to have more franchised stores in Puerto Rico. "We've had some discussions with others in Puerto Rico for additional offices. Nothing has transpired yet but we'd like to expand our presence there," he said. "One of the main reasons to affiliate with Crye-Leike is to better compete in the local market, particularly incoming/outbound referral opportunities through our network of agents as well as through our international relocation network, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World," he said, explaining why becoming a Crye-Leike franchisee may be attractive to more independent brokers in Puerto Rico. "In addition, he (Coll-Camalez) now has access to more marketing/technology platforms which should help him grow his business." Sullivan says the real estate transaction in Puerto Rico is conducted in a similar fashion. Additionally, tax incentives (Act 20 and 22) were created to lure wealthy investors to the island. One difference: Spanish, not English, is the most commonly used language spoken in Puerto Rico. English is also widely spoken. Coll-Camalez' Crye?Leike franchise is "fully bilingual," Sullivan said. In 2012, Puerto Rico passed new tax laws, known as Act 20 and Act 22, that make the island territory a tax haven for U.S. citizens who become residents of Puerto Rico. The laws shield new residents residing in Puerto Rico for at least half of the year from paying most federal income taxes. An alumnus of John Carroll University, Coll-Camalez received his insurance license in 1982 and his real estate license in 2004. His real estate expertise includes helping buyers and sellers, property management, investment properties, and foreclosures for single-family homes, and excess and surplus property. He also has expertise in condominium insurance sales, commercial insurance, and personal insurance. His real estate specialties include commercial, residential, management, BPO's and inspections. "I decided to join Crye-Leike because of its performance and good will in the Mid-South," Coll-Camalez said. "With Crye-Leike, I am in a better position to serve my existing residential clientele, asset managers, and expand in commercial real estate, business brokerage and the Act 20/22 market, luxury market , as well as the referrals, due to emigration tendencies." The Crye?Leike San Juan Real Estate office (http://sanjuan.crye-leike.com) is located at 268 Ponce de Leon, Suite 1014, San Juan, PR 00918.

Originally from Atlanta, Ga., the family relocated to Ft. Walton Beach individually over the past five years. "Even though we are not natives of Fort Walton Beach, our family has been visiting the area since 1987," said Mr. Glime.

Having previously owned a small independent real estate office, Mrs. Andrews decided to explore affiliating with a real estate franchise to take the business to the next level. "We interviewed four different real estate franchises, and it was clear that the Crye-Leike franchise system was superior," said Mrs. Andrews. "Its technology platform and training programs were unsurpassed, giving us opportunities to offer our clients the best possible options." "By being a part of the Crye-Leike team, our office is now on the cutting edge of technology," said Mrs. Andrews.

MURRAY, KY., - CRYE-LEIKE Realty Services is changing the way folks across Western Kentucky get detailed information on homes and other properties listed for sale. A new service the company is calling its "24-7 Info Line" now allows buyers and shoppers access to the entire local "homes for sale" inventory from any telephone. In June CRYE-LEIKE Realty Services rolled-out its newly branded VoicePad technology "Info Line" to consumers on all its listings. "Buyers can easily receive instant information about the home they are interested in by calling our system where they have the option to connect directly with the agent and schedule an appointment to see the home," said Vicki Moore, Owner/Broker Crye-Leike Realty Services. "Home shoppers who call the Crye-Leike 24-7 InfoLine can also receive the estimated mortgage payment and opt to receive a text message with the home's features sent directly to their cell phone." CRYE-LEIKE Realty Services "For Sale Signs" now include a local number 270-761-INFO (4636) for home shoppers to call for immediate and detailed information on any home on the market, 24 hours a day and seven days a week. The technology also notifies the Realtor with the listed property - that a VoicePad inquiry has been made. "We spent a considerable amount of time researching competitive technologies and decided VoicePad best fit our needs as it provides a service to both our listing agents and our buyers agents, said Harold Crye, Cofounder & CEO of Crye-Leike, REALTORS. "Consumers are the real winners with this service as they can receive up to date property information on any area home listing - even our competitors - by using the "street search" feature, thus saving valuable time during the home search process." Crye-Leike agents can also register the buyers they're working with on the new Crye-Leike 24-7 Info Line. It enables a home shopper who's out on their own looking at homes to instantly alert their agent when they use the InfoLine to get more information on a specific property. "I've been most impressed by the amount of call activity we're already seeing with the system," said Moore. "By using the VoicePad technology, consumers are able to call a phone number and receive listing information on their phone within seconds. They are also able to receive a text message or email with complete listing information. For Realtors there's no need to ever refill a flyer box again while potential clients get everything they need with one simple phone call."

BRENTWOOD, TN., - Crye-Leike, REALTORS is looking to 2010 as a break-out year for new growth of its trademark brand through the sale of more Crye-Leike Franchises Inc. real estate offices across the south. The company's ?Focus on Franchises' theme in 2010 is further punctuated by the selection of Rob Hatchett as the new President of the Crye-Leike Franchises Sales & Development division. "I see a tremendous growth opportunity in 2010 for our franchise division by providing better support to our existing owners and in the successful launch of new franchise sales centers in and around the regions we currently serve," said Hatchett. "We have a terrific package of tools and services available to the company-owned offices that are now available to anyone wanting a real estate sales franchise through Crye-leike."

In 2009 Crye-Leike had just 15 licensed agents based out of one real estate sales center in Madison, Alabama, north of Huntsville. Under Hatchett's leadership as a Regional Vice President & General Manager, a year later Crye-Leike's Greater Huntsville & North Alabama region has five offices and more than 100 licensed sales associates. "The past two years, leading the day to day operations of the company's Greater Huntsville and Chattanooga markets, has put me in the same shoes as many of our franchise owners," said Hatchett. "I'm thankful for the success we have experienced in both those cities and I look forward to partnering with and finding success with our franchise owners and franchise agents as well." Since joining Crye-Leike in 2005, Hatchett has served as a licensed Realtor to active buyers and sellers in all types of residential real estate sales. He was later named Director of Career Development working as the lead Recruiter & Trainer for the Greater Middle Tennessee region. Hatchett has helped train more than one thousand new agents. "Rob has worked primarily on the company-owned side for us the past five years," said Harold Crye, Cofounder & CEO. "As you can see, recruiting and growing our company is just one of his many strengths." Hatchett's two main objectives for Crye-Leike Franchises Inc. will be to empower current franchises with the marketing and technology that's available to them and increase the number of franchises through greater ?signage' and ?agent' visibility in the areas Crye-Leike currently serves. "I feel like I've walked in many shoes over the past five years with the company," said Hatchett. "From selling houses as a regular agent to training and recruiting new agents to the company and even managing our Mt. Juliet, Tennessee branch office for a short period of time. Along with my most recent experience managing our Huntsville & Chattanooga regions, I feel like I've been in almost every position a franchise owner or prospect may be in or been in at some point in their career."

Atlanta, GA., - PCMS Consulting is proud to announce a new partnership with Crye-Leike REALTORS to assist the company in growth strategies to expand its franchise operation in multiple states. PCMS has business development personnel currently servicing over 20 states and plans to leverage Crye-Leike's already strong southern states footprint with the objective of affiliating existing real estate sales firms with the company's franchise arm. "Our company has its roots in the real estate franchise business and we are excited to put that expertise to work for one of the largest companies in the country as well as one that has an outstanding reputation in the South," said Jose Perez, President of Atlanta-based PCMS Consulting. "We are beginning our efforts in Tennessee, Crye-Leike's backyard, where we can continue to expand their presence throughout the state with quality conversions of existing companies as we simultaneously look for opportunities with other strong operators in neighboring states." Perez believes with a renewed focus on franchising, Crye-Leike will utilize methods perfected by PCMS to identify, qualify, and affiliate companies ideally suited to become a new franchise. Crye-Leike's Cofounder & CEO Harold Crye looks forward to taking advantage of the many tools and systems available through a partnership with PCMS to gain a competitive advantage in the market. "We have seen a tremendous amount of real estate company consolidation in the last couple of years across the company's southern U.S. region - with several independent and competitor franchise firms joining Crye-Leike," said Crye. "I see home sales in our primary and secondary markets will continue to fluctuate up and down for another couple years forcing some firms to seek out a company's like ours to help sustain them, their business and clients." Crye-Leike Franchises, Inc., a division of Crye-Leike, REALTORS began real estate franchising operations in 2000. Since the division's establishment a total of 30 real estate companies have joined the Crye-Leike franchise network. Crye-Leike franchises are currently located in states throughout the South including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. "In the current economic environment, Crye-leike has a huge advantage across its southern U.S region in the way it supports its sales force with technology and marketing while some of the larger players have actually reduced support," said Perez. "Because Crye-Leike is a regional company with hubs in Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock and Northwest Arkansas, a franchisee can get much more ?hand holding' and live support than they can from some other franchise organizations." In spite of difficult market conditions for home sales heading into the 3rd quarter of 2009, both Perez and Crye are convinced the timing is right to aggressively pursue unaffiliated real estate firms to become a Crye-Leike franchise. "We've seen our share of challenging home sales markets in our 32 years in business but clearly we are at a critical juncture and my hope is we can provide quality branding and support to smaller firms currently struggling to adapt to the new real estate brokerage paradigm," said Crye. "We are excited about our new relationship with PCMS and the years of real estate and franchise knowledge they bring to the table to help us collectively reach out to accomplish our goals."
