RISMEDIA, February 2, 2009-HomeGain, a leading provider of online marketing solutions that connect real estate agents and brokers with home buyers and sellers, announced its 2008 Top PerformersTM.Since 2000, HomeGain annually recognizes its most successful and productive real estate agents and brokers who are members of its AgentEvaluator®, product in each of six regions across the United States, as well as the overall top performing agents in all 50 states.
Overall, in 2008 HomeGain’s top five Realtors earned an average of $236,918 in gross closed commissions from their HomeGain AgentEvaluator business and an average of 20 closed transactions.
“Many real estate agents and brokers had a successful year, despite the downturned market nationwide,” stated Louis Cammarosano, general manager at HomeGain. “We are proud to recognize these agents for their high level of accomplishment. Congratulations to all of the Top Performers for a successful 2008. We look forward to continued success for all of our member agents in 2009.”
HomeGain’s 2008 Nationwide Top Performer in total number of home sales is Barbara Tidwell with Keller Williams Realty in Texas, closing 34 home transactions with AgentEvaluator in 2008. The 2008 Nationwide Top Performer by total commissions earned for the second consecutive year is Eric Pakulla with RE/MAX Advantage in Maryland, earning $370,920 from AgentEvaluator business.
“HomeGain is an incredible company,” said Eric Pakulla. “I can spend my time prospecting for other leads while my partner, HomeGain, forwards prospects my way. These are customers that I most likely wouldn’t have found if it wasn’t for HomeGain. With AgentEvaluator, the cost is minimal and commissions have exceeded hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thirty three percent of my business now comes from HomeGain. It has consistently gone up each year. I suspect 2009 will be no different. In 2006 I exceeded the million dollar mark on commissions just from HomeGain alone. My ROI is incredible.”
