2019 Lake Homes Realty Agent Summit Awards

Posted on Staff

Lake Homes Realty recognized 52 real estate agents with awards at its 2019 Agent Summit. These professionals automatically earned Premier Agent designations at the brokerage’s sixth annual Agents Summit, held October 15-17, 2019.

“Our agents are lake realty specialists and industry leaders in the sale of real estate,” said Lake Homes Realty CEO Glenn S. Phillips, “as we grow and add more experienced agents on more lakes, the number of awards increase every year.”

2019 Big Wave and Aqua Award honorees represent the brokerage in 27 states.

Award Criteria and Eligibility

The Agent of the Year designation goes beyond total revenue and recognizes an agent that is not only successful at producing revenue, but who also excels in the real estate business. This agent does all the little things and the big things well. 

Agents who sold or exceeded $10 million in total transaction volume were honored as Big Wave Award winners.

By receiving these awards, Lake Homes Realty agents are recognized as the top-producing lake experts in the company.

The Lake Homes Realty Aqua Award was awarded to agents who, in the 12-month evaluation period, sold a total transaction volume of at least $3.5 million up to, but not including, $10 million.

Agents who had not reached this total transaction volume between September 1, 2018, and August 31, 2019, were still eligible to win this award if they had closed at least 20 transaction sides within the period.

In determining the 2019 award honorees, Lake Homes Realty defined total transaction volume as the combined sales price of each transaction, independent of the number of sides an agent represented.

“Put another way, if you were to add up the final price at which each property sold in the last 12 months, whether agents represented a single side or both sides, you would reach the agent’s total transaction volume,” explained brokerage CEO Glenn S. Phillips.

Referral transactions were not taken into consideration when calculating total transaction volume.

Lay Lake Agent Named Best Real Estate Agent 2019

Posted on Staff

Lake Homes Realty agent Stephanie Millard has been named this year’s Best Real Estate Agent in Hoover’s Magazine’s 2019 list of bests.

“I’m honored to have been selected by the community as Hoover’s Best Realtor,” Millard said. “I’m only here because I have the BEST clients, colleagues and support staff!”

Millard also attributes her recent “best” designation to her “client-first” philosophy.

“I’m not just selling homes or helping people buy pieces of property,” she explained. “I’m selling a lifestyle and helping clients invest in their futures. My client-first philosophy not only keeps me accessible and responsive to my buyers and sellers, but also allows me to build relationships with them that last long after closing.”

It’s these relationships and her clients’ happiness, Millard says, that gives her her deepest sense of satisfaction as a real estate agent.

This is the first year Millard has received a Hoover’s “Best” award; however, it is not the first recognition she has received for her work in the industry.

In 2018, Millard was named a Lake Homes Realty premier agent and Aqua Award winner for having closed more than $5 million in transaction volume for the year.

“Stephanie’s recent accomplishments are a testament to her work ethic and dedication to her clients,” said Lake Homes Realty CEO Glenn S. Phillips. “We are proud to have her as part of our Lake Homes Realty family and to see her hard work pay off.”  

Finalists for the 2019 Best Real Estate Agent designation included Renee Hamilton, Jennifer Harris, Gwen Vinzant, Amy Wingo.

Premier Agent Designation Awarded to 33 at Annual Summit

Posted on Staff

Thirty-three Lake Homes Realty agents were honored with a Premier Agent designation during the brokerage’s 2017 Agent Summit, held Oct. 17-20.

The designation was awarded to Big Wave and Aqua Award recipients from across eight states, and nearly 25 lake real estate markets.

“We are just so glad to see so many of our agents succeeding in their lake markets,” said Doris Phillips, COO of Lake Homes Realty. “Awarding them with these honors recognizes how hard they have all worked in the last year and what an asset they are to the Lake Homes team.”

Big Wave and Aqua Awards Explained

Lake Homes Realty’s Big Wave Award is presented to agents who have obtained a total transaction volume of at least $3.5 million up to, but not including, $10 million.

Winners of the Aqua Award are agents who have a total transaction volume of $10 million or more.

Nearly 100 Lake Homes Realty and visiting agents attended the 2017 Agent Summit. Of these agents, more than 30 received honors.

“Transaction volume, for the purposes of Lake Homes awards, is based on sale price independent of the sides represented,” explained Lake Homes Realty CEO, Glenn S. Phillips. “Further clarified, this means sale price apart from whether an agent represents a single side of the transaction, either the buyer or the seller side, or both sides.”

This transaction volume must be obtained within a 12-month evaluation period.

For 2017, this evaluation period was from Sept. 1, 2016 through Aug. 31, 2017.

Referral transactions are not included in determining the winners of company’s Big Wave and Aqua Awards.

The Aqua and Big Wave Awards, which are presented annually at the Lake Homes Realty Agent Summit, are two of the company’s most prestigious awards.

“In addition to being recognized for their outstanding effort, performance and dedication to Lake Homes, our agents also reach Premier Agent status as winners of these awards,” said Phillips. “With this designation, agents are able to market themselves as our company’s top earning lake-area real estate experts.”

These agents are some of Lake Homes Realty’s best ambassadors, characterizing the business as convenient, attentive, and passionate about finding its clients the lake-area homes they have always dreamed of.

With continued success and efforts of agents like those awarded Big Wave and Aqua honors, Lake Homes Realty remains the nation’s largest, lake-area real estate focused brokerage.
