We Like it On Top: Top Realtors in Philadelphia AND Pennsylvania

We Like it on Top:   Top Realtors in Philadelphia AND Pennsylvania

We were pretty much blown away when the award and letter came in the mail.  We earnd the place of #2 RE/MAX Real Estate Team in all of Pennsylvania and #1 Team in Philadelphia.

Stephanie and I are not one to keep track of numbers throughout the year but apparently 2010 was an extremely successful year for us and for our team.   In a year where the media talked about doom and gloom, The Somers team kept extremely busy working with buyers and sellers.

Our eyes were on our client's goals and not on the media's negative reporting. The first time home-buyer tax-credit (of which we were quoted nationally on several Associated Press articles) was certainly a contributor to a very successful year.

But outside of that, we worked tirelessly and are very proud of our team members Sean Conroy, Sean Dundon and Elaine Kasavage.

Combined there was over $30 million in sales ! And who says the Philadelphia real estate market is slow ?

As for this year, well let's just say we are already having an amazing first quarter!

So, you may ask what does all of that mean; #2 in Pennsylvania and #1 in Philadelphia ? To us this award provides us with evidence of our skill and professionalism and it reminds us that we have many people to thank.  We would like to thank our clients, the buyers and sellers that we proudly represented through each and every individual real estate transaction. Also, it made us (Chris and Stephanie Somers founders of The Somers Team) realize that we want to give back. Therefore, we will be contributing a percentage of our commissions to the neighborhoods in which we are selling homes.  We are so excited about this and hope others will follow in our footsteps.

An example of this was our recent blog post "Giving Back to the NLNA".  As of this week, we will have donated over $1,000 back to the Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association as individual Realtors.
