Joan O’Meara Ranked Among Top Agents Nationwide!

  Four Houlihan Lawrence Agents Included in Top .5 percent of Nationwide Broker Sales Poll

Each year the REAL Trends/The Wall Street Journal’s prestigious Top Thousand list ranks 1,000 sales agents across the nation

NEW YORK, July 2013 – Four of Houlihan Lawrence’s brokers have been named to the nationwide REAL Trends/The Wall Street Journal Top Thousand list. Calculated annually, the highly prestigious list features the top 1,000 sales agents in the United States. Houlihan Lawrence agents Nancy Kennedy, Susy Glasgall, Sheila Stoltz and Joan O’Meara made the list based on their 2012 sales volume, showcasing the deep talent pool at the family-owned firm. More than 50 of the family-owned firm’s agents ranked among the top 100 salespeople locally based on 2012 sales volume reported to the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service, despite competition from large corporately-held brokerages.

“Houlihan Lawrence is dedicated to providing each of its agent’s comprehensive marketing, technology and training support, allowing them to reach their full potential and best serve their buyers and sellers,” said Chris Meyers, COO of Houlihan Lawrence. “These ranking agents are passionate about what they do and have deep ties to the communities and clients they serve. This is reflected in their continual success.”

A Houlihan Lawrence standout, Nancy Kennedy was not only included in this year’s Top Thousand list for sales volume, but she also ranked number 74^th on the list for individual units sold. Nancy was the #1 Associate for the entire Westchester and Putnam County MLS in 2012 by units sold and dollar volume, and she has been named top agent company-wide seven different times. Boasting over 25 years of real estate experience, Susy Glasgall has consistently been one of the top performing agents for Houlihan Lawrence. Not only was she ranked on the Top Thousand list this year, but Susy was also #1 for single family homes sales by dollar volume in 2012 for all of Westchester County and has received this honor multiple times before. Additionally, Houlihan Lawrence has named Susy its overall top producer in Westchester on 10 separate occasions, and its top producer in Rye 20 different times. Sheila Stoltz is consistently recognized as a top realtor in both Bronxville and Westchester County. Her local expertise and data-driven market insights allow her to deliver the best service to her clients and maintain her top standing over the years. Joan O’Meara is an industry expert that has been specializing in the Rye and Harrison regions for over 16 years where she repeatedly ranks in the top 2% of the Westchester Board of Realtors. Joan strives to exceed each customer’s expectations, and it’s seen in her proven success and frequent top achievements.

REAL Trends is a communications and consulting company widely considered to be the leading source of analysis and information on the residential brokerage and housing industry. Their Top Thousand list, completed in conjunction with The Wall Street Journal, is a highly anticipated national ranking completed each year. Those on the list are recognized as the top .5% of over 963,000 licensed realtors nationwide.

Houlihan Lawrence 2nd Qtr Market Report

From the Houlihan Lawrence 2nd Quarter 2013 Market Report…

“As we enter the dog days of summer, the housing market remains scorching hot in the markets north of New York City. Despite buyers’ having less inventory to choose from, Spring 2013 home sales were up sharply across Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties – more than 20% year-over-year in many areas. The combination of rising demand and falling inventory has generated modest but consistent price gains of 3-5% across most local markets, a relief for weary sellers and motivation for wary buyers.”
