“Each year the Member Services Committee
accepts recommendations and reasons why individuals in the real estate industry
should be awarded the scholarship to better their education. These scholarships, typically in the form of
educational classes, can either benefit that agent towards their broker’s
license or some sort of designation.” said Dennis Mooney, Vice President/Sales
Manager and a member of the Pocono Mountains Association of REALTORS (PMAR)
Board of Directors. “This year, both
recipients were from the Wilkins organization.”
Murray, who was voted Realtor
of the Year in 2011, is a member of the PMAR Board of Directors, Co-chair of
the MLS Committee and has donated hundreds of hours of her own time to various
committees in PMAR. Her being awarded
the scholarship was something that will certainly not go to waste but will be used
to get her closer to her Broker’s license.
Martin
has been in the business for 4+ years and devotes personal time by serving on
the Social Events Committee and other committees, and is a huge advocate and
full-time volunteer for Meals on Wheels.
Martin has served Meals on Wheels for the past 3 years and has never
turned down delivering foods to those who need it most, regardless what the
weather conditions were.
Said Thomas R. Wilkins,
President/CEO, “Both of these individuals give back 150% of themselves to our
local community. That’s what it all
about. I stand proud to have them as a
part of our organization.”
The Wilkins organization, in
2013, will be celebrating their 25th year in business. Even with the downturn in the economy and
taking the Company through very difficult times, Wilkins maintained their
integrity and never sacrificing customer service during a time when customer
service really means the most in any business relationship. Their agents never lost sight of bettering
themselves through education. Now,
Wilkins is looking to expand their Management and Real Estate business to the
Lehigh Valley and Scranton areas.
Said Wilkins, “We are ever so
cautiously, but aggressively, expanding our Management division to the Lehigh
Valley area while cooperating with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate—Valley
Associates, a new Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate franchise in the Lehigh
Valley; and expanding the brokerage and Management division through Parasole
Property Management & Assoc where Wilkins bought into a start-up company owned
by Ronald Parasole. Parasole will
operate the day to day operations from Scranton and service the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazelton areas.
Wilkins will handle bookkeeping and accounting from the Park Avenue office.
All of the Wilkins offices
are open 7 days a week.
