BOULDER, Colo. - June 15, 2009 - Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, one of Colorado's leading real estate companies, announced today that Karen Bernardi in the company's Boulder office ranked among the top Realtors in the U.S. for home sales last year in a new survey by The Wall Street Journal, lore magazine and REAL Trends.
"We are extremely proud of Karen for receiving this well-deserved national recognition," said Chris Mygatt, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Colorado. "Year in and year out, Karen is one of the very best professionals in the real estate industry. This has been an extremely challenging housing market, but she continues to be successful because she delivers outstanding results for Boulder's most discriminating home buyers and sellers. We're proud she is on the Coldwell Banker team."
In its announcement, The Wall Street Journal noted that the housing professionals succeeded in one of the most difficult markets the nation has ever faced. Sales of existing homes fell 13 percent last year while new-home sales dropped 38 percent. In addition, credit was extremely hard to come by as banks dealt with loan defaults and foreclosures. "Yet amid those wheezing numbers, many agents and brokers have found a way not just to breathe easier but thrive," the Journal reported.
"The best individual agents and teams found a way to keep business steady or keep growing," said Steve Murray, founder of REAL Trends, the Denver-based publishing company that compiled the list. "They cranked it up, understanding it's about communications to past customers and prospects, marketing, and staying face to face with clients."
Bernardi is located at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage's Boulder office at 2700 Canyon Blvd., Suite 200. She can be reached by calling 303.402.6000 or via email at info@bernardirealestate.com. About Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
