Get to Know Gary Schraut

 Its hard to pick a real estate agent on line. fancy pictures and words does not market your property. what you cannot create on the Internet is past experience. With over 23 years experience in Hernando County selling vacant acreage, commercial, industrial and residential properties. Look at my past performace, over 22 years over $1,000,000 in sales and the last 20 years over $2,000,000. That's each and every year, every year in Hernando County, with recent years being over $15,000,000 in sales. These websites are good, they are the beginning of your search, but it's important to know who you are doing business with. Now past performance does not mean everything we touch is sold...but when your looking for results, closed sales are more proof of results than points on a website. The only agent In Hernando County  recognized Nationally as a Commercial and Residential real estate specialist. The only Realtor in Hernando County recognized as both with the CRS & CCIM designtions. In 1990 Gary schraut earned the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation. In 1992 Gary Schraut earned the prestigious Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM).

Why a CRS? A proven track record of succes:

In June 2005, an independent research firm hired by the Council conducted a telephone survey of randomly selected members. A total of 280 members were interviewed representing an 86% response rate and a sampling error ± 5.3% at the 95% level of confidence.   Information regarding earnings and production is characteristic of 2004, while other data are representative of member characteristics in 2005.   The goal of the membership survey is to provide statistically valid research from CRS Designees and Candidates that can affect the Council's long-term course of development and short-term implementation priorities.   Overall, the typical CRS Designee is a 57-year-old woman who earns an annual salary of $160,500 while working 50 hours a week as a sole practitioner for a franchise company.

Here are the highlights from the 2005 Council membership survey:

CRS Designees earn a median income of $160,500 annually, a 25 percent increase over the $120,000 earned in 2002.This is more than 4 times the $38,300 median income of REALTORS serving as sales associates. (Source: 2005 NAR Member Profile) CRS Designees average a total of 32 transactions per year with gross sales of $7 million annually.  CRS Designees represent the seller an average of 20 times per year CRS Designees represent the buyer an average of 12 times per year CRS Designees attribute a median 10 percent of their income to holding the CRS Designation CRS Designees have worked in residential real estate for an average of 20 years. CRS Designees have been members of the Council for 10 years and held the CRS Designation for 9 years. The majority of CRS Designees work as a sole practitioner (69 percent). Less than a third (28 percent) works in or leads a team. CRS Designees are an average of 57 years old.  Some 67 percent of CRS Designees are women while men make up 33 percent of the membership.

What is a CCIM?

A Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) is a recognized expert in the disciplines of commercial and investment real estate. A CCIM is an invaluable resource to the commercial real estate owner, investor, and user, and is among an elite corps of 8,600 professionals across North America who hold the CCIM designation.

Recognized for its preeminence within the industry, the CCIM curriculum represents the core knowledge expected of commercial investment practitioners, regardless of the diversity of specializations within the industry. The CCIM curriculum consists of four core courses that incorporate the essential CCIM skill sets: financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, and investment analysis for commercial investment real estate. Additional curriculum requirements may be completed through CCIM elective courses, transfer credit for graduate education or professional recognition, and qualifying non-CCIM education. Following the course work, candidates must submit a resume of closed transactions and/or consultations showing a depth of experience in the commercial investment field. After fulfilling these requirements, candidates must successfully complete a comprehensive examination to earn the CCIM designation. This designation process ensures that CCIMs are proficient not only in theory, but also in practice.

With such a wide range of subjects to be mastered and in a dynamic business such as real estate, the educational process doesn't end once the designation is earned; there is a strong commitment among CCIMs to continuing education.

Only 6 percent of the estimated 125,000 commercial real estate practitioners nationwide hold the CCIM designation, which reflects not only the caliber of the program, but also why it is one of the most coveted and respected designations in the industry. The CCIM membership network mirrors the increasingly changing nature of the industry and includes brokers, leasing professionals, investment counselors, asset managers, appraisers, corporate real estate executives, property managers, developers, institutional investors, commercial lenders, attorneys, bankers and other allied professionals. Through this business network and through enhanced communication with the CCIM electronic network, CCIMs successfully complete approximately 156,000 transactions annually, representing more than $400 billion.

Certified Commercial Investment Members are in more marketplaces in North America -- 12 CCIM regions representing 1,000 cities -- than all major real estate companies combined. Regions and chapters provide designees and candidates the opportunities to promote business and educational goals through local and regional forums and meetings.
