CHAMPION'S MIKE HAMBY IS FAVORITE (AGAIN!) AMONG LOCAL RESIDENTS

Annapolis - For the fifth time in six years, Michael Hamby is the Capital Readers Choice winner among local real estate agents. Hamby held the top pick position from 2011 through 2014, then won again this year. He was the first runner up in 2015.

Eleven-thousand Anne Arundel County residents voted in the newspaper contest this year.

In 2015, Champion Realty was selected “Best Local Real Estate Company” by readers.

Hamby is particularly notable because he is a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) as well as a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE.) Fewer than one percent of real estate agents has both of those certifications.

Hamby has been with Champion for 11 years. He is one of the company’s top producers.

“I am very proud that so many of my past and future clients recognize the work that I do. It is a pleasure assisting people with a very important step in their lives,” Hamby said. “I also love doing it at Champion because it is like working with family every day.”

“If you know Champion, you probably know Mike!” commented Jon Coile, President and CEO of Champion. “It’s no surprise that Capitol readers keep voting for him. He’s just a pleasure to work with and I’m proud that he’s a big part of our success as a company.”

Champion Vice President, Pat Savani manages the Annapolis office, where Hamby is based.

“Mike is energetic and follows up on every last detail in the home buying and selling experience. That’s why when homeowners are getting ready to make a change, they call on him again and again,” she said.

All of the Capital Readers Choice 2016 Award winners will be published in the newspaper’s May 22 Sunday edition.
