“Distinctive Real Estate”
“Distinctive’ Defined:
Distinctive means “possessing characteristics that distinguish from all others”. The word is more
than our tagline. It embodies the values we hold dear – those characteristics that are unique in
real estate representation.
Distinctive is not a price point or a zip code. It is the standard to which we hold ourselves.
Distinctive is the discipline, experience, and execution to deliver a first-class experience with
every client. We remain distinctive by affiliating with real estate professionals who are
committed to delivering superior service, high productivity, and an unparalleled level of
personal responsibility.
Mission Statement (External):
Amherst Madison will always be distinctive and exist to support our agents in building
successful businesses and fulfilling lives, while being a force of positive change in the
communities we serve.
Mission Statement (Internal):
Amherst Madison adheres to the doctrine of Continuous Improvement. It is our pursuit to
become the most productive and identifiable real estate brand in the United States. We are
committed to our agents’ success and will continuously strive for every competitive advantage
to keep them at the forefront of their Field. We believe that our “greatness” is directly related
to the difference we can make in the world; therefore, we will always be involved in the
communities we serve through charitable activities.
