SHREWSBURY, NJ - Local real estate sales have been on the rebound after an initial slowdown due to government public safety measures in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Resources Real Estate acknowledged the efforts of their agents and staff who have been working harder than ever in service to their clients.
“Some of our agents -- even those who saw the heights of the local real estate market 15 years ago are reporting that they have never before been this busy,” said Thomas McCormack Senior Partner of Resources Real Estate. “While Monmouth County sales are still lagging behind 2019 totals, they are catching up and the pace is astounding.”
The company, who recently released their second quarter market report, is citing a lack of inventory, pent up demand due to the lockdown and increased demand due to homebuyers who want greater opportunities for social distancing at home, as the underlying causes of the current market frenzy.
The company honored a number of its agents for their sales success and other business achievements:
Mary Lynn Hughes, broker associate in the company’s Atlantic Highlands office, was named Agent of the Month for top sales during the month of June, including new listings, recent contracts and sold transactions. In addition, Hughes was named Top Listing Agent for securing the greatest number of new listings during the month as well as winner of the Regency Award for achieving a significant amount of new business.
The Featured Luxury Agent Award was presented to sales associate Colleen McGowan from the Shrewsbury office. This recognition is given to a sales associate active in the luxury market with a residential listing or sale above $1 million. McGowan, a member of Luxury Real Estate’s Board of Regents, currently represents the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom home at 459 Locust Point Road in Locust, Middletown, listed for $1,600.000.
The Rainmaker Award was presented to sales associate Amy Johnson (Atlantic Highlands) an honor bestowed to a sales associate for efforts to build business in an innovative or otherwise significant way. Johnson’s online marketing efforts delivered impressive results and she advised her colleagues on increasing their digital footprint to grow new business.
Sales Associate Lorien Kelly (Atlantic Highlands) received the Perseverance Award, an honor presented to an agent who closed a transaction despite great challenges. Kelly’s dedication to achieving her client’s goals resulted in some out-of-the-box creative problem solving that yielded successful results (and a happy client).
Lastly, Anne Nordine, staff member and online marketing coordinator received the Team Spirit Award for her development of new marketing initiatives including the company’s newly re-designed individual property websites and both office and property marketing campaigns in conjunction with Google Business.
“We are very proud of our company’s ability to assist our clients during this challenging period,” said McCormack, “and our efforts in the field as well as in our marketing strategy sessions continue to provide pathways to success for all those hoping to relocate at this time. We commend our team for their exemplary work.”
