It's Christmas time! And for many it is time to spend some time with those we love as family friends and/or co-workers.
It has become a tradition for many companies in the country, even in the world to celebrate Christmas season with their employees, it’s the perfect time for everyone to meet, get together, share and get to know each other a bit more, they say happy employees equals more productive business and actually studies have proved that theory. This type of event is perfect for senior executives and employees to get to know each other, and it is the perfect time to ask that person from another department about what type of food he likes or what he does on his days off! It’s all about getting to knowing the person more outside of the work environment. But no work talk, that can wait until Monday morning.
RE / MAX Masters Millennium and RE/MAX Master Property Management were not far behind with this year's Christmas celebrations, as well as Friday, December 6th and Friday, December 13th, employees got together and celebrated together.
The RE/MAX Masters Millennium party was held in the office on the night of December 6th and all employees, real estate agents and even employees of the adjacent Land Title office were invited all with their families or partners.
Office administrators created a contest to encourage everyone to decorate the cubicles and / or Christmas offices. Very genius idea to get everyone involved to decorate the office and making this celebration more unique.
After Thanksgiving, it was pretty cool to see how every corner of the office started to fill with that holiday magic, both real estate agents and administrative agents showed their decorative qualities and brought out their creativity to decorate their office and win the contest.
Two real reindeers welcomed all the guests outside of the office, an incredibly real looking Santa Claus, gave the kids that perfect, magical talk with Santa about their wished and presents of course! Appetizers, drinks and food were delicious. You could say that this Christmas party has been one of the best in the company where everyone had fun.
A week after it was our turn! Masters Property Management, and although the company started more than 2 years ago, this is the first year that the company celebrated the holidays. The company has grown not only with more properties to manage, but also this year we hired a new Maintenance Coordinator, Eric and a new administrative assistant, Maria.
The dinner was on Friday, December 13 at 6:30 p.m. in Pappadeaux, but some of the team arrived a little earlier to enjoy the happy hour offered by the restaurant, which by the way was chosen by all of us sea food lovers.
The entire team was present, including company owners Jim Wanzeck, Steve Olson and Eugene O'Brien with their wives, Eric (maintenance coordinator) with his wife, Maria and Alyssa (administrative assistants). During dinner we had the opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little more outside the professional field. We all made a toast in gratitude for the team and the new projects to come.
Eugene the Property Manager, ordered a drink called "The Swamp-thing" a raspberry liqueur and melon liqueur mixed in layers of frozen margarita and frozen hurricane (rum with tropical fruit juice) It was huge! All its colors caught the attention of the table and became a reason for conversation and laughter, because despite its sweet and delicious taste, it gave everyone a huge brain freeze! It was fun to see everyone's faces when the brain freeze hit.
Looking back, we’ve accomplished a lot as a company this year, including managing 60 more properties than we did last year, we started our own maintenance company which has been amazing to have in house, and we hired another assistant, Maria. Throughout the maintenance emergencies we’ve had this year, we’ve also managed to grow and as we continue to grow, we ask that you send us anyone that is in need of our leasing, maintenance, and management services for the new year!
