Software Executive Phil Yarbrough Launches New Residential Real Estate Career

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 7, 2010 -- ALLEN, Texas (June 7, 2010) — After a thirty-year career traveling the world selling big-ticket financial software to international companies, Phil Yarbrough is putting aside his passport and coming home. He’s now selling something far dearer to his heart and more important to the futures of North Texas families – their homes.

Yarbrough says his experience selling multimillion-dollar financial software to executives from American Express, MasterCard, Citibank and other global companies has given him unique insights into human nature and customer expectations. “When people are making huge financial decisions that will affect their futures – whether those people are company presidents or a husband and wife – they want economic counseling from an expert who has studied the complexities inherent in such a huge investment,” Yarbrough says.
Late last year, after evaluating nearly two dozen DFW-area real estate brokerages, Yarbrough joined the RE/MAX Town & Country Group in Allen. “I started right on the bottom rung of the ladder,” Yarbrough notes. “There’s no better way to make sure you have learned everything possible to help your customers.” Yarbrough sped through all the courses offered – passing each with flying colors – and looked around for more ways to master his new profession.

Yarbrough turned to his economics background and deep knowledge of computer software and built a powerhouse collection of algorithms and programs to help buyers and sellers understand the complexities inherent in real estate transactions, such as absorption-rate pricing theory. He uses his technical tools with each of his customers. “My clients tell me these programs make it much easier to see all the options they have and to make smart decisions. Playing ‘what-if’ scenarios are easy to use and extremely effective.”
After only 100 days in his new career, Yarbrough started breaking records. “Phil has already built a book of business that surpasses $3.5 million,” says Michael Coburn, broker and owner of RE/MAX Town & Country. “He’s achieved twice the national average in less than six months. Needless to say, we see a bright future ahead for Phil.”
