Local RE/MAX Office Earns Awards

Broker associates at RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals, 576 Brookforest Ave., Shorewood, Ill., recently received special recognition from the RE/MAX Northern Illinois region for their sales success in 2012.  They have been named to membership in one of five honorary clubs, each recognizing an important level of achievement in sales production.

Sales agent Dawn Dause earned membership in Platinum Club as well as being named to the Hall of Fame. The average 2012 commission income of a RE/MAX Northern Illinois network Platinum Club affiliate was 14 times that of the average earnings of a National Association of Realtors® (NAR) sales agent. A Hall of Fame inductee helped a minimum of 350 clients close real estate transactions. 

Kathy Dames Mattox and Glenn Sharp earned membership in the 100 % Club. In 2012, the average RE/MAX Northern Illinois 100% Club member earned commissions that were 6.5 times larger than the average NAR sales agent.
Additionally, Angie Faron and Sherry Lewandowski earned membership in the Executive Club, where affiliates' sales productivity is well above the industry norm.
