National Recognition awarded to the Carl Maurer Team

Parsippany, NJ - The Carl Maurer Team, under the direction of Carl Maurer, Assoc Broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Wilkins & Associates, was awarded the Emerald Elite Award by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, LLC for having the highest level of Gross Commission Income earned and for handling the most Unit Volume of any other BHG team.  Both categories are based brand-wide, meaning all of the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate offices were included.

Joan Barton, Client Services Manager for Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, LLC made the announcement at the 2013 Fusion Convention held in Las Vegas on February 5^th at the Aria Resort & Casino.  Although The Carl Maurer Team was not in attendance, the announcement was made in front of the 400+ Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate brokers, managers and agents.

Said Thomas R. Wilkins, CEO, “These are two very distinguished awards that The Carl Maurer Team received.  The Emerald Elite designation in units, Carl Maurer came in #1 out of all of the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate franchises.  His team alone had more units than any other broker.  Maurer was one of 12 teams that won Emerald Elite status in Gross Commissions Earned.”

The Carl Maurer Team is comprised of Carl Maurer, Assoc Broker, and leader of the Team; Dennis Farrelly, Realtor, the team member who locks up and secures the hundreds of foreclosures the Team handles all throughout Northeast Pennsylvania; and Caryn Centini, Realtor who acts as the buying agent for the Team and processes the hundreds of buyer inquiries the team receives on a monthly basis.

Said Carl Maurer, Leader, “The real asset of our Team is Donna Sorrentino who is Personal Assistant to The Carl Maurer Team and me personally.”  “Donna handles finances for The Carl Maurer Team which includes payments to vendors, who fix up the properties, utility companies while the property is being marketed, handling all the homeowner associations and keeping an eye on us.” Maurer chuckled.

In addition to Maurer’s awards won at the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate national level, for 2012 Maurer has consistently been a #1 producer in the Pocono Mountains Association of REALTORS as well.  Maurer, with a sales volume of $16+ million also closed 199 units in 2012.  Said Wilkins, “You have to imagine the pipeline that Carl has at any one given time; he typically has more going at one time than the top 3 Realtors have simply because of the volume that his team handles.” 

The Carl Maurer Team sells foreclosures on behalf of a number of lenders including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two best known.  The Team which was started approximately 8 years ago has grown to the point that they now one of the top producing teams in Northeast Pennsylvania when it comes to selling foreclosed properties.  The Team handles homeowner sales as well.
