Posted 2/9/12 – Andy Bencosme, managing broker at Century 21 Village Realty in Sierra Madre recently presented the annual sales production awards to the office’s top sales producers and also the “rookie of the year” award. The annual awards breakfast was held at The Only Place in Town Restaurant in Sierra Madre.
Bencosme thanked all of the agents present for their hard work, professionalism and complete dedication to their clients. Bencosme had been notified by Rick Davidson, President & CEO of Century 21 Real Estate that his office combined with the Ludecke office in Arcadia finished the year 14th in the region which includes the greater southern California area. He was told that the two offices (owned by Mike Ludecke) were ranked Number One in the San Gabriel Valley.
Nazee Rix was honored once again as the office’s Top Sales Producer for the year. Rix, a Bradbury resident and mother of two has been a consistent top sales producer for the Sierra Madre office. For the first half of the year she posted the highest number of home sales with the highest sales volume. Bencosme credits her success to having the utmost dedication to her business and an understanding of her client’s individual needs. Her expansive knowledge of the various real estate markets in the vicinity and her honesty in business also play a very important factor in her success in the business so early on in her career. “Nazee receives many favorable reports from her clients on the quality service surveys,” says Bencosme “and much of her business comes from referrals of very satisfied clients.”
