25 Feb Coldwell Banker Caine Enlists Blue Man Group to Honor Top REALTORS® and Celebrate Record Sales During Awards Celebration
Coldwell Banker Caine and Coldwell Banker Commercial Caine honored its top producing residential and commercial real estate agents and brokers at the company’s annual awards celebration. Held at the Chapman Cultural Center in Spartanburg, the high-energy gathering featured a surprise performance by acclaimed musical act Blue Man Group. The groundbreaking performers drove home the event’s ‘Rhythm of Success’ theme, while underscoring the rich blues at the heart of the company’s recent rebrand. Company executives recognized over 100 agents and brokers across the Upstate for their achievements locally and internationally within the Coldwell Banker network during the 2019 fiscal year.
Caine leadership also announced that the company’s annual performance once again outpaced the region and industry, and even eclipsed the organization’s own high record for sales volume. That shared success was fueled by an uncommonly large number of stand-out individual performances, including that of REALTORS like Jacob Mann, who was recently named the area’s number one agent for sales volume in 2019 by the Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS.
“2019 was a year of incredible growth and success for our entire company. Between rebranding, reaching our highest ever sales volume, and adding many wonderful new additions to the team, we have so much to be proud of and celebrate,” said Stephen Edgerton, President and CEO of Coldwell Banker Caine. “Honoring the best agents in the region—and the nation, honestly—is always so meaningful for us. Hopefully the surprise appearance by Blue Man Group made this year’s awards celebration even more memorable.”
Top producing agents (who were determined using a calculation based on published sales volume and sales units) were announced during the event and acknowledged on stage.
