SOME THOUGHTS FROM PPG AGENTS
PPG Lakeville agent, Susan Lynn said, "Enjoyed my first Regional Conference for Christie's Great Estates, coming away with a better understanding of everything. Found it very informative from my prospective, I could see that the tools that they give you can work with other properties other than the million dollar plus properties."
PPG Goshen agent, Susan Vaill, "There was a panel discussion of the market which was very informative. What I got out of it the most was a reminder that the Christie's website is to be used as a marketing tool (like Realtor.com) and does have much of the same information but is obviously on a much higher scale with properties over $1M."
Broker and Managing Partner, Stephen Drezen commented that, "Conference was widly attended by the regional offices. Two new offices were added. Kay spoke of new inititives in the growth of the company and how the website will now track viewers on their site relative to the individual company's listings."
