Vick is one of the Managing Brokers of Olympus Executive Realty.
Vick has been an entrepreneur and a business Owner since 1991. He started as an Operator/Owner of a large Commercial Maintenance Company. Then, he progressed as a Developer/Owner for a successful National Restaurant Franchise Chain starting in Dr. Phillips, Florida. After opening his first store, he took his marketing strategies and concepts to Corporate to expand the franchise. This unlocked doors to bolster his marketing creativity in four significant areas in New York until 2012.
Vick launched his Real Estate career in 2007 at a franchise Brokerage that earned him only 19% of his first total commission. After several years of achieving countless deals and engaging with other Agents, he knew there had to be a more effective way. Therefore, the inquisition began.
Vick's transitioned to a 100% commission company with much hesitation, countless questions, and unbelievable amounts of doubts. First, he spent close to 18 months formulating a branding technique to self-generate without ever having to buy a lead. Then, with the plan in place, the calls began rolling in from Canadian investors. He started with buyers who were only interested in under 150k homes and eventually worked with buyers only wanting to purchase homes no less than 550K.
In 2013, Vick ranked 5th with 11 million-plus in sales in a single office with over 1,000 Agents. In 2014, he conquered the prime spot with 16 million-plus in personal sales, having no team or Agent partner in the Orlando office business. This success prompted him to award one of the industry's unique accolades, the elusive Greater Orlando Builders Association Major Achievement (GOBA) REALTOR® Partner Award. Additionally, he is a Top Producer with the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association (ORRA) and has the GOLD Top Producer by ORRA for 12 million or more sales in a single year.
At that time, Vick intended to further educate himself with the knowledge of operating a successful Brokerage through the eyes of an Agent and experiences. He promptly got his Broker's license, along with the Senior Real Estate Specialist® (SRES) Designation, NAR's Green Designation, Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist® (CLHMS) Designation, Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource® (SFR) Certification, and the At Home with Diversity® (AHWD) Certification. He didn't realize it then, but the following three years would be the education of a lifetime. Learning the dos and don't of how every 100% commission Brokerage in the region operates by picking them all apart and creating the ideal hybrid model.
Vick's marketing techniques have been excellent, generating him $50 million in personal sales with a 100% commission payout. His marketing and branding techniques also paid big to an undisclosed Brokerage that yielded $381 million in sales in a 40-month window. He appreciates teaching and sharing his marketing and branding methods with Agents in the Central Florida market.
On November 1, 2017, Olympus Executive Realty opened its doors. From the start, the concept was attracting Top Producers in the industry. Vick's relationships and reputation among all the Builders and many others in the Real Estate market are legendary to him and his Agents. His marketing strategies and his Real Estate background are fundamental assets to the Brokerage's continuous expansion. He was the 2017 committee chair for Social Media at ORRA appointed by the Board President and appointed by the 2018 REALTORS® Association of Lake and Sumter Counties (RALSC) President. He was unanimously voted in Board Of Directors (BOD) as a 2019 Director. He currently sits on the 2020 BOD for the Asian Real Estate Association of America Orlando Chapter.
