Following record company sales of more than $1 billion during 2004, Rubloff Residential Properties recently honored its top producers with the annual “Crystal Awards.”
“Our high-powered brokers and sales agents generated a staggering $1.15 billion in residential real estate sales in 2004,” said James M. Kinney, president of Rubloff, which is celebrating its 75th year in business in 2005.
Kinney also announced the company’s 9th annual Crystal Awards for Rubloff’s top producers in 2004 at breakfast meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Five top Rubloff agents – Eudice Fogel and Judy Pielet of the firm’s Gold Coast office; Jim Stengel and Kevin Wood of the Lincoln Park office, and Gail Lowrie of the Harbor Country, Michigan office – combined for sales totaling $150 million, Kinney said.
Raking in $48 million in sales last year, champion Eudice Fogel led the company for the fourth consecutive year after significantly increasing her gain each of the previous four years. In 2003, she posted $45 million in real estate sales, up from $30 million in 2002 and $26 million in 2001.
The Crystal Award for best marketing team went to the Mario Greco Group, which consists of Mario Greco, David Adams and Jeanne Carava. The Greco team joined Rubloff in June and posted total sales of more than $50 million in 2004.
John D’Ambrogio and John Kiser of Rubloff’s relocation department were cited for generating $50 million in transferee business in 2004 on 200 transactions, a gain of 130 percent in dollar volume over the previous year.
In addition, sales agent Robin Miner won the Crystal Award for generating the most sales in the relocation sector.
