AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading real estate sales and marketing company, Legacy International, has added acclaimed New Home Sales Strategist Myers Barnes for the newly created position of Chief Training Officer. Myers will work on KW (Keller Williams) New Homes as well as Legacy's various other residential real estate initiatives.

Keller Williams, the world's largest real estate technology franchise by agent count, has selected Legacy International to exclusively provide KW agents with ongoing education and resources to capitalize on new home growth potential as Zonda states, 6,000 new home communities are projected to come to market in the next 10 months. In addition, the National Association of Home Builders is projecting 4,381 new home builds per day through 2022.

"We've been used to selling existing or used homes for so long that the surge of new home inventory is creating new sales opportunities at levels we've never seen before," said Barnes. "The lowest interest rates in over 50 years and the desire to move to larger homes with comfortable remote work space since the pandemic began is fueling this rising tide of new real estate."

Myers Barnes is the best-selling author of seven books on real estate, including the innovative playbook for success, Secrets of New Home Sales Negotiation. The Kittyhawk, NC-based Barnes is one of the USA's most requested speakers and advisors for new home sales seminars and manager training,

His sales seminars, training programs, books and videos have helped generate billions of dollars in new home sales revenues for his clients. This is exactly the kind of experience we need to take advantage of the exploding new home market. Myers has been a mentor and 1-1 coach to myself and Legacy for 2 decades, so adding him to our team is a monumental win."

"Philip and I have had conversations for 17 plus years" Barnes said, "and when it was revealed he was aligning with Keller Williams, I said to myself, I want to RE-FIRE and Refire with Legacy and Keller Williams. I'm a long term player and long term I see Legacy and Keller Williams as my next, final landing pad."

Barnes will lead Legacy's new training initiative, which offers Keller Williams agents a Builder Developer Realtor Education (BDRE) course and the Builder Developer Realtor Certification (BDRC), further strengthening local market expertise, while leveraging deep insights from home builders and developers that enhance the customer experience and optimize their business operations.
