Keller Williams Agents Sweep New Bern Board of Realtors® Annual Awards Ceremony First time three agents from 4-month old firm received top honors
New Bern, NC – February 1, 2006. Last week, New Bern, North Carolina witnessed another historic first when three Keller Williams Associates swept top honors at New Bern Board of Realtors® (http://www.easternncrealtors.org/) Annual Awards Luncheon. It was the first time in anyone’s recollection that Agents from the same firm earned the three top awards in the same year.
“I certainly don’t remember it happening before,” said NC real estate broker, Craig Emmerich, GRI, of Keller Williams® Realty, New Bern Business Center. One of the honorees, Emmerich (www.craigemmerich.com) has been a central figure in New Bern’s real estate and business communities since 1978. Mr. Emmerich founded the “Million Dollar Roundtable” of the New Bern Board of Realtors®.
The feat was made all the more remarkable in that Keller Williams® New Bern Business Center is less than one year old. Partners/Associates of the New Bern Business Center established the company in September, 2005 and hit the ground sprinting toward record-breaking success. Such astonishing early success begs the question, “What’s their secret?”
Held at the stunning New Bern Convention Center on New Bern’s historic waterfront, the New Bern Board of Realtors® Annual Awards Luncheon honors realtors who have excelled in several areas of real estate. The three top awards that went to Keller Williams’ partner/associates were:
Craig Emmerich was presented the 1st Place award for “Highest Number of Real Estate Transactions-2005” by New Bern Board of Realtors® President, Tom Greer.
Martha Cook, the 2004 “Million Dollar Roundtable” Chairman presented Keller Williams New Bern Associate, Donna Harmatuk with the 2005 award for “Highest Production-2005”.
Keller Williams Associate, Dianne Dunn, GRI, was presented the award “Realtor of the Year—2005” by Marcia Werneke, 2004 Realtor of the Year.
Gary Keller and Joe Williams founded Keller Williams® Realty in 1983 with a unique Agent-as-Partner approach to their Real Estate business. A learning-based company, focused on training, coaching and consulting its associate partners, Keller Williams® Realty (http://www.kw.com/kw/) was listed in Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Fastest Growing Franchises” for 2004. In addition to required education for licensing, Keller Williams® Realty sales associates attend numerous courses through Keller Williams University to keep them up-to-date on current real estate trends and information.
According to Mike Tavener, Keller Williams Carolinas Regional Director, “Keller Williams’ associates attribute their success to the company focus on their business, which includes high-end education, stressing taking their careers to whatever level they wish to achieve, involvement in the company decision-making, and the ability to share in the company profits.”
Experienced, steadfast agents, united with superior support from Keller Williams® Realty, and a booming housing market seems to be the answer to “What’s their secret?” “It’s an unbeatable combination,” agreed Craig Emmerich.
