Shirley Gary of Engel and Volkers Buckhead Atlanta Ranks 107th Among Top Thousand Real Estate Professionals Nationwide

ATLANTA (July 9, 2015) –Shirley Gary, Broker and License Partner of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta was named a member of “The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals” by REAL Trends and The Wall Street Journal, a prestigious national ranking sponsored annually by the two respected publications. She was ranked #107 in the list of the Top 250 Agents by Transaction Volume.

“2014 was an excellent year for us, with a total sales volume of more than $107 Million,” says Gary, one of five Engel & Völkers real estate advisors listed in The Thousand. “During the first six months of this year, we have already exceeded $71 Million. We are on track to set a new record for our growing company - especially when you consider the many pre-sales on the books that are set to close later this fall.”

“Engel & Völkers’ network has continued its rapid expansion in key North American markets as a direct result of the hard work of our premier real estate advisors, who truly represent the best of the best,” said Anthony Hitt, CEO of Engel & Völkers North America.

Gary, who like her four ranking colleagues is also a Private Office advisor, which is an exclusive international network of Engel & Völkers’ top real estate professionals, opened her new storefront office in the BuckheadAtlanta mixed-use project in April 2015.

The Thousand is published each year and is based on independently verified data provided by U.S. brokerages and real estate associations throughout the United States. The list is comprised of categorized rankings that include the Top 250 Agents by Sales Volume and by Transaction Sides, and the Top 250 Teams by Sales Volume and by Transactions Sides, as well as two newly added categories based off of average sales price, which include Top 250 Agents by Average Sales Price and Top 250 Teams by Average Sales Price. “The best individual agents and teams were nothing short of phenomenal considering the recovering real estate market,” said Steve Murray, founder of Denver-based publishing and communications company REAL Trends, which compiled the list.
