The program is designed to supplement your existing employee benefit package, complementing what you already offer your employees without any additional cost. 

REAP provides you and your employees with these value-added services at no expense.

Why a Real Estate Employee Benefit Supplement? 

• Nothing affects your employees' quality of life more than the place they call home, and nothing  creates a more central interest among your employees.  
• The one thing all employees share is a desire for a home that serves their lifestyle and dream. By offering them your own real estate benefit program, you connect their employment to their home life and give them opportunities that are otherwise unavailable. The program obviously has a great deal to offer you, your employees and our community as a whole.  
• It made sense to package together a number of attractive services that have substantial value to them and offer them to people where they are most of the time, at work. And best of all it comes to you at no cost.  
• Of course, it is our hope that by providing these valuable and important services, when the time comes for you or your employees to buy or sell a home, that we will be considered to handle the transactions.  
• We maintain a strong belief in customer service and believe in providing an exceptional real estateexperience.  
• We are considered experts in our local market. We offer this real estate employee benefit for two reasons:  

1. To provide a highly unique and rare personal service that actually benefits people now, and: 
2. To position ourselves in such a positive way that anyone who has experienced working with us will choose to continue to do so for all of their real estate needs... making it all a fair trade! 

In today’s highly competitive market for attracting and retaining good employees, employees demand generous benefit packages.  Most employee benefits cost an employer like you enormous sums of money. As an employer, the Real Estate Advantage Program is free to you and your employees. It literally costs you nothing, now or later, and there is never any hidden-expense. 

As an employer offering this Employee Benefit Supplement, you also benefit by having your employees excited that they can save substantial amounts of money on all kinds of very important services, because their employer took the time to investigate and offer the plan.

When that time comes for your employees to begin the process of selling and buying a home, or for them to refinance an existing home, they can remain productive at work! The tools and services we provide allow your employees to stay more focused on work.

And of course, you also benefit by having access to the benefits provided in our supplement personally!

In summary, as an employer you benefit three ways—you pay no costs for a meaningful benefit, you  gain employee appreciation, and finally you benefit just like your employees—through your own personal participation.
