Alpharetta Business Owner Shirley Gary Sweeps Global Sales Awards

At a recent gathering in Athens, Greece of Engel & Völkers’ top talent worldwide, Shirley Gary, owner and CEO of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton, received the highest awards given to the company’s advisors across the globe. Gary won three Top Global 2018 Real Estate Awards: First Place in Number of Sales, First Place for Transaction Volume and Second Place for Net Commission for the international real estate company. This is the fourth year in a row Gary has received the company’s top sales award for units closed, ranking above more than 10,000 real estate professionals who represent the Engel & Völkers brand in over 30 countries.

“This is a tremendous honor for Shirley, since the award ranks real estate sales production for every person in the Engel & Völkers worldwide network,” said Kelly Stephens, vice president and managing broker of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton. “We are so proud of Shirley and all she has accomplished, and are delighted to see her receiving this worldwide recognition.”

Gary has worked in real estate and new construction sales management throughout metro Atlanta for over 30 years. She opened her own firm, About Sales Inc., in 2007 at the downturn of the market, but despite the economy, grew the company to almost $4 million in annual gross revenues in just six years. In 2013, About Sales Inc. became Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta, one of Engel &Völkers’ first Atlanta locations, and Gary opened her second Engel & Völkers shop, Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton, in Alpharetta in 2018. Gary has now increased annual revenues to over $10 million. www.buckheadatlanta.evrealestate.com, www.atlantanorthfulton.evrealestate.com
