Gina also received the Top Listing Agent Award for representing three listings in Rumson and Red Bank totaling $858,700.

“Gina’s wealth of knowledge of local homes, as well as educational environments recreational and after-school programs has made her very popular with her clients,” said Carolynn Ozar-Diakon, Senior Partner and Broker. “Her firsthand experience with new construction and development gives her a unique perspective that transcends the average realtor’s know-how.”

Sales Associate Michele Achimov, from the Red bank office, was presented with the Featured Luxury Agent award, which is an honor given to a sales associate active in the luxury market with a residential listing above $1 million.

Resources Real Estate Included in 2017 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies – The Inc. 5000

New York City, August 17, 2017 — Inc. Magazine unveiled its 36th Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies – the Inc. 5000 – and for the second year in a row, Resources Real Estate was included.

The Inc. 5000 is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies and a representation of the USA’s critical segment – independent entrepreneurs. These are businesses responsible for creating companies, creating value, and creating jobs – 619,631 of them over the last three years.

Companies such as Dell, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Pandora, Timberland, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.

To qualify and make the 2017 list, companies had to demonstrate a rapid revenue growth over a three-year period, from March 2013 to March 2016. All companies had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies – as of December 31, 2016. Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired. The minimum revenue required for 2013 was $100,000, while the minimum for 2016 was $2 million.

Inc. President and Editor in Chief Eric Schurenberg said: “The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive. The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 10 through 12, 2017 at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, CA. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as former Ford president Alan Mullaly, FUBU CEO and founder and “Shark Tank” star Daymond John, Dollar Shave Club founder Michael Dubin, researcher and #1 New York Times bestseller Brené Brown, and Gravity Payments’ founder and CEO Dan Price.

“We are proud to have our growth showcased on this exclusive list,” said Carolynn Ozar-Diakon, Senior Partner and Broker at Resources Real Estate. “In the last three years, we have not only physically expanded our offices and our team, but we’ve also expanded the markets we cover, and grown our commercial real estate division. As always, we are dedicated to customer service and agent training, and the results are clear.”

“Looking at the other companies on the Inc. 5000, we feel very honored and very lucky,” said Thomas McCormack, Managing Partner and Broker at Resources Real Estate. “But it’s also a very rewarding feeling because we know well the amount of hard work all of us at Resources have put in the last three years. So seeing the fruits of our labor in the acknowledgement is extremely satisfying. We are also thrilled to see Resources Real Estate as one of only two real estate firms in NJ on the list – none of our local competitors are included.”

Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue, out on newsstands today. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.

Resources Real Estate presents sales associates with the February Awards

Eatontown, NJ, March 23nd, 2017 — In their monthly company meeting, Resources Real Estate recognized several sales associates for their outstanding achievements during the month of February. The company meeting took place on March 1st at Trinity Hall.

Sales Associate JoAnn Davenport, who works in the Red Bank office, was named Agent of the Month. This award is given to an agent in recognition of his or her sales success in the previous month including new listings, recent contracts and sold transactions, as well as past client recognition of their efforts, and other business-building activities. JoAnn represented both buyers and sellers of the sale of the commercial property at 64-66 Bridge Avenue, both buyers and sellers of the multi-family home on 96-98 Wallace Street, and the rental of the residential property at 11 Louis Cir, all in Red Bank, and her closings for the month of February totaled $4,394,800.

The closing of the commercial property sale on 64-66 Bridge Avenue for $2,050,000 granted JoAnn two additional honors – the Commercial Agent of the Month Award and the coveted Significant Sale Award, given for a sale of a property above $2M.

“JoAnn is the Director of our swiftly-expanding Commercial Division,” said Carolynn Ozar-Diakon, Senior Partner and Broker. “Her more than 20 years of experience in real estate and specifically in Red Bank – a booming real estate town – has been a valuable asset in developing our commercial offerings and in maintaining our overall rapid growth.”

Tammy Brindise from the Rumson office was named the Top Listing Agent Award, an honor given to the agent with the most new listings for a given month. Tammy’s four new listing for the month of February included the five-bedroom, six-bathroom single family home at 52 Blue Hills Drive in Holmdel, the newly constructed four-bedroom, three-bathroom 4050 square foot single family home at 44 Forrest Avenue in Rumson, the four-bedroom, five-bathroom, 3200 square foot single family home at 20 Blossom Road in Rumson, and the four-bedroom, five-bathroom, 4488 square foot single family home at 1484 Ocean Ave, Sea Bright, which offers incredible water views. These last three listing propelled Tammy to also be named the Featured Luxury Agent, for having several property listings topping $1 million each.

The Rainmaker award was given to Mary Ellen Cestone from the Monmouth Beach office. The Rainmaker award recognizes the efforts of agents to build their business in an innovative or otherwise significant way. In pursuit of a home for a buyer client, Mary Ellen reached out directly to homeowners not currently on the market, an initiative that resulted not only in locating interested sellers, but bringing to the table multiple offers.

Lastly, the Perseverance Award was presented to Patrice Cicalese-Carden from the Monmouth Beach office. This honor is given to a sales associate who closes a transaction despite great challenges. Patrice managed to successfully close a high-end rental property that required a tremendous amount of diligence on her part in order to ensure the client was protected.

“February was another month showcasing productivity, determination and team spirit on the part of our team,” said Thomas McCormack, Managing Partner and Broker. “We are continuing to grow our commercial division side by side with maintaining our successful residential division, and utilizing advanced marketing strategies to win listings and new exciting projects.”
