Howard Hanna Real Estate Services held their Southeast Region Awards event to celebrate associates’ success at Hilton Norfolk The Main on Feb. 12.
ODU's marching band playing at full throttle kicked off the awards event followed by a recognition of over 100 of the nation's top producers that rank in the upper echelon of the real estate industry. Howard Hanna real estate agents absorbed pertinent information and statistics about their performance as well as previewed sneak peeks of new resources that are due to launch later in the year.
The National Sales Excellence Award recognized agents that rank in the top 5% of real estate agents nationally, while Howard Hanna highlighted this particular group of achievers at the beginning of the awards ceremony.
A myriad of other awards presented included:
- Green Penguin Award (formerly Quality Service Award) honoring agents with exceptional client evaluations
