    Send us a Text Message.

    The industry of RTO has been in existance for over 40 years. It has overcome adversity, misunderstanding, and economic downturns. With a solid history and over 10 billion in revenues annually you would think that there is nothing but great things headed our way. That is until bills A9585 and S9275 were introduced to the New York legislature this past session. With the possibility of shutting down RTO as we know it in the state of New York APRO notified the NYRDA to act fast to get on top of this new legislation, and see just what needed to be done to educate these lawmakers on the effects these two bills have on the RTO industry in this state. NYRDA's new president Jeff Smith and his partner Matt Radecki at Hometown Rent to Own are working hard to keep RTO working properly in the state of NY and so much more.

It also includes local charities and more! Listen in on how family, tradition, and good old community outreach keeps John and Cleek's Home Furnishings on top of the RTO industry.

    In the RTO industry we have relationships with our customers and those relationships are vital to the success of our locations.

Brian has been a vendor to RTO industry for around 20 years and that experience and knowledge is compounded by the fact the he is a 2nd generation RTO partner following his father Denis Rosen's footsteps.

  • Digital Conversations w/ Jeraud Norman
    Apr 1 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    In RTO who doesn't love the feel of a big sale with a new customer? Thing is now it probably started from an on line or text lead from a CRM program. Everyone is going digital and our customers are as well. Most showrooms are going quiet and the walk-ins are becoming more and more digital in nature. Now is the best time to work on making our sales associates better at the on line transaction. We talk about the speed of the response, but what about the response itself. Digital role play and working with an on line sales marketing team like Jeraud Norman Marketing can drastically change the way we approach the digital sale and seal the deal.
