When I first got into real estate, I immediately wanted to figure out how to separate myself from everybody else.

So I asked myself, “Why would someone choose me over the thousands of other agents that are out there? How could I stand out? How could I offer more value?”

What if I could set myself apart by being transparent, authentic and serve my community all at the same time?

“Yes that’s it!” I thought, “I will write, take pictures and videos, all to highlight the people, the places, lifestyle, and homes of Fresno and the surrounding areas. I will give my real opinion on a home’s value, even if it wasn’t the popular one.”

I decided at that moment to commit to being true to this vision no matter how many people supported, liked, retweeted or read my blog post. I’m sure glad I did.

Over time I realized that the more content I produced, the more business I got. Over the next few years, through the use of various media, community events, and downright passionate efforts of many, FresYes.com developed into a real estate company founded on the same principles.  

Today, we’re excited to announce our latest evolution in growth as a company.

(By the way, if you haven’t seen the two previous announcements in my trilogy of exciting happenings- click here and here to learn more).

FresYes is taking a big leap.

We believe in what we say, and we are acting upon our commitment to the community.

To solidify our faith in the economic development of Fresno, real estate and our team, we will be adding more than 150 agents and staff members who will work, eat, shop, and attend events in Downtown Fresno. The landscape of real estate and business in Fresno is changing and we are constantly evolving to meet that change.

We are growing our team into the historic J. B. Inderrieden Co. Packing Plant building, which is more commonly referred to as the ‘Old Spaghetti Factory building’. (2721 Ventura Fresno, California 93721). This new top floor location, which spans 18,000 square feet, will allow us to cement our company in the heart of our community.

• 

• 

• 

• 

This growth opportunity will allow us to add more of everything our clients, community, and agents have come to know and love us for. There will be more technology, more community-forward initiatives, more homes sold and more opportunity for us to help Fresno continue to move into the future.

When people see what we’re bringing to downtown Fresno, I think it’s going to be exciting. (Click here to watch the live annoucement)

• 

We’re ready to invest in people and create a culture that people want to be a part of. There’s something special about arriving at an office full of like-minded people every day. It’s my hope as you look around our offices, you will see people laughing, having fun, being full of energy and excitement and doing what they love doing each and every day. This collaborative energy just can’t be obtained working from home, which many agents and creatives have started to do in the past few years. We’re going to change that trend of old.

So, I’m elated to have the opportunity to finally open up my doors and say:

“Look, if you’re in the real estate industry and you’re looking for a change, or if you’ve thought about real estate and are curious if it’s for you. We have room for you. With our expansion, we have the chance to give you a spot, to give you a chance, to show you how real estate can be done in 2019, 20 and the years to come.”

It’s imperative to me to continuously evolve as a leader, a leader who cares deeply about his tribe and his community. Someday when I’m gone, it would mean everything to me if I was remembered as someone who made others better. That would be a life worth living for me, one of legacy. If I can make 200 agents and staff members better than the day they walked into my doors, I will gleefully accept that challenge.

But, just don’t take my word for it, some of our favorite agents took the time to explain what FresYes and my commitment to leadership means to them, I’ve included each testimonial at the conclusion of this story.

Lastly, I just want to thank you for your support. I owe our success to each one of you, whether you are a supporter in our online community or live in the Fresno area, I am so grateful for each one of you who have supported my dream for the last twelve years.

Thank you for making the impossible, possible. Additionally, a special thank you goes out to the folks at Bitwise who have invested in the downtown growth project since the beginning and gave us a fair shot at our chance to make a difference with a fantastic, fair price on our new lease.

FresYes Realty and I are eager to remain focused on Community, Culture, Authenticy, Empathy and Consistency as we serve you in our next chapter.

Sincerely,

Jason

This process is forever evolving, and FresYes is pioneering the way to stay above the curve and on top of market trends.

FresYes has adopted an innovative culture of opportunity creation. They have provided every agent with resources, so that they may remain in control of their business.

Jason’s coaching is the real deal. He is the first Broker that I worked under that spent one-on-one time with me and used that time to share his knowledge and strategies to help me build my business. You don’t receive a prepackaged plan or get hit with a ton of motivational speeches. Jason is authentic and provides relevant coaching that fits you and your business. From the beginning, he will break down where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there. He identified my strengths, helped me remove roadblocks and designed a plan that led me to the success I had only dreamed of since entering my real estate career. Jason’s ingenuity, focus, clarity and years of experience make him the perfect coach if you are looking to take your business to the next level. It’s just one of the perks of being an agent with FresYes Realty!

FresYes is the kind of company that invests their energy into helping people be at their best. They are very selective in who they let work for them, not because they want to be exclusive, but because the culture at FresYes is about people who love this city, are self-motivated, who celebrate the growth and success of everyone in the company, and who are more invested in cheerfully helping each other, rather than being competitive. There is a refreshing lack of drama and game-play here. People here are more concerned about being at their very best rather than comparing themselves to others. Little things go a long way at FresYes:

-No desk fees for agents.

-An incredible, community-minded website for Realtors to use for their own content.

-Lots of cutting edge training opportunities that make a difference and aren’t just dull seminars.

-An emphasis on relationships over money.

-A spirit of fun, and healthy competition rather than rivalry.

-Leadership that is professional, highly competent, and hard-working, but at the same time, it’s fun, humble, and deeply invested in the community. -People who work here enjoy themselves, are nurtured, and are given the freedom to grow, excel, and belong.

I was born and raised in the Fresno area and am so proud to be working for a company that cares about the community and thrives at giving back. FresYes has raised its voice to support our community. They’ve enabled me to volunteer for local shelters, be a part of events such as FresYes Fest, and purchase products from local businesses at my office! FresYes is invested in the well-being of our Community, and it’s future.

I chose FresYes Reality as my brokerage for so many reasons. The people, the culture, and the leadership of the office are absolutely amazing. But as a business owner, I thrive because of the cutting edge marketing resources that are available to me. There is absolutely nothing like it, and it propels my business to the next level.

Do you know what makes FresYes Realty the best?

Of course, the people and the culture are amazing, but the cutting edge marketing tools are what set our office apart. We have a culture suited to utilizing powerful and impactful marketing tools and technology that propels this business to the next level.

If you’re a Realtor looking for a brokerage, FresYes is a clear “yes!”

Big news! FresYes’ own, MacKenzie Hartung has entered Realtor Magazine’s 30 Under 30 Competition. 

We couldn’t be more excited for her. Winning this coveted award would certainly be an honor for our star, but also for our agency and our community as a whole.

“To be named a 30 under 30 by Realtor Magazine is to be an example to others as to how hard work, discipline, and tenacity can allow you to go further than you ever could imagine,” Hartung said.

We sat down with MacKenzie to dive deeper into what makes her successful in a recent interview, which we’ve outlined below. I think you’ll find she’s one of the most interesting young agents! (She started her real estate journey at age 20, for starters…)

We’ll let you read all about Mack, after that, check out how the selection process works + how you can help make her star shine even brighter.

What attracted you to real estate?

I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart.  From childhood, I can remember wanting to own my own business and be my own boss.  It wasn’t until I entered a mentorship program at the Craig School of Business at Fresno State that I realized that real estate was the perfect industry for me.

The fact that I could help people connect to their dream homes was the fuel that drove me to start my own real estate business at the age of 20. The vision I had to couple my love for serving others with my desire to build my own business was the guiding light that led me into the real estate industry.

What made you excited about joining FresYes?

FresYes and I were like magnets.  FresYes’ mission to offer a client experience that would ultimately change the way people buy and sell real estate resonated with me early on.  I watched FresYes from afar as they constantly poured into the community with events, fundraisers, and service projects. Even before I joined the FresYes team, I could tell that there was a culture unlike any other real estate company in Fresno.  

What put me over the edge when contemplating making the move to FresYes was the servant leadership that I witnessed by FresYes’ founder Jason Farris. I watched him practice what he preached by lifting others in sharing his own journey to success, and I knew this was the company I wanted to work for.

Why did you decide to apply for 30 under 30?

To be named a 30 under 30 by Realtor Magazine is to be an example to others as to how hard work, discipline, and tenacity can allow you to go further than you ever could imagine.

I want to empower others to see that they have what it takes and that they can create the life they have dreamed of if they are willing to put in the work. I see myself as a visionary that shines so brightly that it enables other people to see the light inside themselves, and have the courage to share their light with the world.  If I were to be chosen for this decorated award, I would use it as a platform to help clear the way for those who will follow in my footsteps.

What would it mean for you to win?

Winning this award would allow me to have a platform to help other young entrepreneurs in their journey by sharing my story.  I want to show them that you don’t have to have family connections or a huge bank account to be successful in this business.

With your charity involvement and clients… what do you like to do with what little free time you have left over?

I love health and fitness and spend my free time going to group fitness classes like pilates, spin, and yoga.  I also love spending time with my family and taking my two dogs (Cash & Tebow) exploring.

What would you want others who are considering a similar path to know?

I would give someone just getting started as an entrepreneur the advice that there is no time like the present.  No one is going to create your dream life for you, but you are worth the work. Work hard in silence, realize that you have everything you need already inside you, and start today.  

Check out her full entry video.

MacKenzie even said, “If you need more advice, call me at 559.977.2287 and I’d love to help!”

That’s the #MackAdvantage.

You can help MacKenzie’s chances by following her on social media, sharing this article or voting for her once the finalists are announced! (Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to share those details.) To contact MacKenzie click here.

Thank you, Fresno!

New Filipino Fusion Restaurant in Northeast Fresno Offers a Delicious and Unique Menu

One of the very best things about living in Fresno, is having access to some of the most amazing food from a wide variety of different cultural origins. My husband and I love trying new restaurants and foods, so when Bethany Clough of the Fresno Bee wrote about a new Filipino Fusion restaurant opening in town, I knew we’d have to go.

Boba Silog opened just this month on the southeast corner of Champlain and Perrin in northeast Fresno. The restaurant’s name is a combination of Boba, an iced tea style featuring soft tapioca balls added to a variety of milk and fruit tea mixtures, and Silog, a word that is combination of the Filipino words for fried rice (sinangag) and eggs (itlog).

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The restaurant is on the smaller side, offering seating for 6-7 small groups indoors and another 4 groups outdoors (with heat lamps) and when my husband and I arrived on a Friday evening, every seat was taken and the place was hopping. A steady stream of customers entered and joined the line to order throughout the hour we were there. The atmosphere is casual and modern featuring wood tones, clean lines, and potted succulents. Orders are placed at the register and food is brought to you at your table.

The menu is an eclectic mix of Boba teas (milk teas, fruit and slushes), waffles, silog plates featuring a variety of meat main dishes, adobo chicken tacos, flavored french fries and lumpia.

My husband and I had enjoyed homemade lumpia (Filipino style egg rolls) prepared by an amazing family friend in the past, and we both were really excited to order a Lumpia Silog plate at Boba Silog. We wanted to try a few different menu items so we also ordered the barbecue fries and an ube waffle to split. Neither of us had heard of ube before, so we Googled it and learned it was a vibrant purple sweet yam with a mellow, sweet flavor. (We’d also wanted to order Adobo Tacos, but sadly, they’d run out for the night.)

As it turned out, all three of our menu selections were good ones. The lumpia were piping hot, crisp and served with a tasty but not cloyingly sweet sweet-chili sauce. The fried rice was flavorful and loaded with sautéed garlic, and it mixed well with the egg and pico/salsa that it was served with. The barbecue fries were hot, crisped and tossed in a savory and slightly sweet mix of spices that didn’t give a distinct barbecue sauce type taste, but was excellent nonetheless. My favorite item that we tried however, was the Ube Waffle. The waffle was served crisp and topped with a sweetened ube puree atop of bed of something that was syrupy sweet and made of white ribbons. As everyone working in the restaurant was busy helping the line of guests flooding in, I quickly snapped a pic and message a friend who happens to have recently traveled to the Philippines to inquire as to what it was – I learned that is was macapuno – sweetened preserves of young coconut. Yum!

After reading through the comments on both Yelp and Facebook, it seems that Boba Silog may still be fine-tuning its systems ad food ordering, as many customers report the restaurant running out of menu items they were hoping to order. I’m sure with a bit more time, Boba Silog’s management will work through these issues, however, if you do run into them, perhaps consider making a second trip in a few weeks, as the food we were served was exceptionally delicious and worth the trip. Boba Silog is located at 1122 E Champlain Dr Ste 101, Fresno, CA 93720. You can view their menu online here or place a takeout order by calling (559) 981-2823. Their hours of operation are 8 am to 9 pm Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 8 am to 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and closed on Tuesdays.

If you go, let me know how you enjoyed it! Are there any other must hit restaraunts I should know about? Leave me the details in the comments.

Happy exploring!

It’s a season of change for the Fresno Grizzlies, and true to form, they are embracing it with creativity and enthusiasm. The Triple-A baseball team unveiled a fresh look at a big party at Maya Cinemas on Tuesday night, complete with new colors, logos, and uniforms.

• 

• 

• 

• 

Traditionally, the Grizzlies have stuck to a mainly black and orange color scheme, a nod to their longtime Major League affiliate, the San Francisco Giants. Though some minor changes were made when the Houston Astros replaced the Giants, logos and colors mostly remained the same.

But an emphasis has been placed in recent years on the Grizzlies being a quintessentially Central Valley brand, regardless of any Major League affiliation. This new look, independent of any other team’s colors, is part of that effort. The scarlet, black, gold, and beige color scheme was chosen before the Washington Nationals, whose primary colors include red, were announced as the latest affiliate.

“We decided on colors we best felt represented Fresno and Central California, and we narrowed that down long before we were fortunate enough to affiliate with the Washington Nationals,” team president Derek Franks said in a news release.

The redesign builds on the “Farm Grown” and “Growlifornia” branding made popular since their debut in 2015, and the black and gold home alternate jersey is a nod to Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino, the Grizzlies’ ballpark naming rights partner.

“It’s been a great four years of seeing people respond positively to the Growlifornia Flag, the ‘Bear Flag Rebellion,’ and really making the Grizzlies a point of local pride—I think you see a lot more Fresno Grizzlies apparel around town, where maybe five years ago that wasn’t the case,” said marketing director Sam Hansen. “So we took that framework of what makes our region special and built an identity with [marketing firm] Brandiose that we believe is an accurate depiction and representation of the Central Valley. Fans will notice a nod to past Grizz logos with the new marks, as well as an homage to the California flag with the home uniform.”

New merchandise was already available for purchase at the reception immediately following the announcement. Fans can head online or to the team store at the stadium to get geared up for the new season. Many more items are expected to be added in the coming days.

Other changes announced during the event include several construction and renovation projects, including the left field social area and bar that will be ready for use in the new season; a complete renovation of the upstairs club; a new kids’ area in right field; and upgrades to the women’s bathrooms (hallelujah, ladies, am I right?!).

If all of this news is making you wish Opening Day wasn’t so far away, the Grizzlies have an event coming up to tide you over. Their annual Hot Stove event, featuring former Major League stars Dave Stewart, Terry Pendleton, and C.J. Wilson, will be held at Warnor’s Theatre on February 21 at 6 p.m. The celebration, formerly a gala dinner, will be more family-friendly this year, with tickets starting at $10 for kids 12 and under. A VIP reception with a hosted bar, appetizers, and a meet-and-greet with the featured guests starts at $25 for kids 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased here.

“We went into planning this year’s event with two questions in mind: How do we make Hot Stove more inclusive for all of our fans, and how do we make sure more kids are at the event to learn about baseball?” Derek said. “We found our answer in a great setting at Warnors.”
For all the latest news on everything Fresno Grizzlies, be sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

WOW! Check out that headline. This is big!

Jason Farris, owner/broker of FresYes (me!) announces a partnership in Synergy Fitness Center with the owner, Walt Gonzales.

Click here to learn more.

Here’s a little bit about why this partnership means so much to me:

Have you ever felt uncomfortable in your own skin? Have you felt what it’s like to not fit in?

How about literally not fitting in every day seats, like a roller-coaster seat with your brimming happy son, who just wants his dad to get on the ride with him?

How about not fitting in a chair at a listing appointment? Talk about uncomfotrable.

For me, this was the last time I allowed myself not to fit.

It was at a time in my life when I was simply crushing it in real estate, but behind the scenes, I was embarrassed, unhealthy and lethargic. I weighed in at 365 pounds.

During the heaviest time in my life, I was at one of my many listing appointments when I was forced to sit in a chair that I just knew I wouldn’t fit in. (Not to mention, this old chair looked very wobly – a large man’s biggest nightmare!)

Feeling uncomfotrable was becoming so tiring, but I had to sit down, so I held my breath and took a seat. I balanced my weight with expert grace and sat through the appointment – barely breathing, and uncharacteristically, quiet.

As I returned to my office, wiping the sweat off and feeling relieved I did not break my new client’s old, unsturdy chair, I got the email that would change everything.

You see, it was sent to me by accident from the woman from my listing appointment, it read:

“He is a really nice young man but very fat and overweight. This concerns me because if he can’t be disciplined enough to take care of himself, how can I trust him to take care of the sale of my home?”

I was heartbroken by what I read. I had really connected with this person the day we met and although I know she didn’t write the email with the intention of hurting me, it did.

That was the day I decided I would never feel that way again.

I was ready to transform my life, but I needed help. As I strived to be my most exceptional version of myself, I started going to the gym.

Later in my journey, I REALLY started to see changes when I partnered with a trainer, Walt Gonzales, who many consider Fresno’s best.

I decided that every single day I would show up and do the work. In fact, I told him:

“I will be here every single day at 4:30 am, but the day you don’t show up, neither will I.”

To this day, over two years into my journey, neither of us have canceled on each other. Today, I’m proud to announce we’re showing up for each other, and you in a new way. (If you need someone to help you get up in the morning, check out my new program, the Daily Wake Up Call.)

We firmly believe life-changing transformations are available to all of us, but not without commitment, and not without others to lift us up. Transformations DO NOT happen in isolation.

That’s why I’m proud to announce my partnership in ownership of Synergy Fitness Center in Fresno, California with Fresno’s Most Elite Trainer, Walt Gonzales.

If I had to describe Walt and I’s partnership in one word, I would actually use the word Synergy. There are elements of the business Walt is exceptional at that I am not, where he lacks, I am strong.

Walt was born and raised in Fresno, California, so he also feels the passion I do for the community we live in. We also share our admiration for the support of our local economy’s small businesses.

With his degree from Fresno State in Kinesiology, Walt began his fitness career with a job at Bally Total Fitness Gym as a Personal Trainer. His passion continued to grow in improving clients quality of life. This drive and passion are what grew into the unique fitness center that is Synergy.

He continues to influence his clients and has expanded the Synergy Fitness Center to encompass programs for all fitness levels. With programs that range from Bootcamps, HIIT programs, small group and personal training.

We invite you to be our guest at Synergy Fitness center. It would be our honor to lead you through your personal transformation! Visit us: 1021 E Herndon Ave Fresno, CA 93720 | 559-492-0553

Do you ever hit snooze in the morning? Do you feel like your goals are slipping out of your fingers because you lack motivation?

Would you like to feel a part of a group who is rising to meet the challenge of the day EVERY DAMN morning?

So do I, so I’m starting one.

The secret is… I don’t always want to get up before 4 A.M and hit the gym or dial into Sharran Srivatsaa’s 5 A.M. Club, but I do, because I want to change lives.

And I’m ready to get your ass up so I can change yours too.

Why? Because the work you do makes a difference and I want you to RISE and SHINE.

Insert #TheDailyWakeUpCall – a personalized text message that comes straight from my Goal Crushing mouth to your bedside table EVERY. DAMN. DAY.

Click here to get your first wake up call on Tuesday, January 29th – We will rise together and hold each other accountable with our gym, personal development and 5 A.M. call selfies. Yep, we’re doing the damn thing.

See you in the morning! (Oh, and try to sleep in your gym clothes – I heard that helps newbies.)
