Rochester's #1 Real Estate Company Congratulates The Glenn Advantage Team, Marcia Glenn and Christie Nesello, Nothnagle's #1 Sales Team

Nothnagle REALTORS® held its annual awards event on January 28, 2011, at the Doubletree Hotel. The Glenn Advantage Team was recognized as the company’s Top Sales Team based on 2010 sales. This is the third consecutive year that The Glenn Advantage Team, Marcia Glenn, Associate Broker and Christie Nasello, Salesperson, has achieved the #1 ranking at the company. The Glenn Advantage Team has placed within the “Top 30” from 1994 to 2009. This year Nothnagle replaced the “Top 30” with the Platinum Sales Award. In addition to The Glenn Advantage Team achieving the Platinum Award, Marcia Glenn was named to Nothnagle’s newly formed Platinum “Circle of Excellence” award category. This elite group of agents were honored by the company for their significant achievements over the course of their careers.

Marcia Glenn (licensed since 1992) and Christie Nasello (licensed since 2004), became business partners in 2005. They are innovative, efficient and work proficiently as both seller and buyer agents. Their hard work and dedication has placed them in the top 1% of all REALTORS® in Rochester, Monroe and surrounding counties. The Glenn Advantage Team achieved over $30 Million in sales in 2010, this was an increase of over 31% in sales volume and an 18% increase in the number of transactions. These numbers go against the market trend, statistics released last week by The Greater Rochester Association of REALTORS® indicated overall sales for the market were down 5% in 2010 compared to 2009.

“Not only did The Glenn Advantage Team achieve the top ranking in the company for the third consecutive year, but they continue to be growing at an exponential rate. Even in an up market, to increase sales by 31% is exceptional; to achieve it in a down market is practically unheard of. This is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication to their clients. Marcia, Christie and their team consistently deliver an exceptional real estate experience that exceeds expectations time and time again. The proof is in the numbers,” said Armand D’Alfonso, President and CEO of Nothnagle Realtors.

Marcia credited Nothnagle REALTORS® for contributing to their success saying, “We are proud to be affiliated with this outstanding company. Their commitment to providing agents with support and innovative ways to serve our clients is unsurpassed in the real estate industry.” Marcia went on to say, “Achieving the top position within the company is never able to be accomplished alone. The combination of the business partnership between myself and Christie Nasello coupled with the collective and collaborative effort of each member of the Glenn Advantage Team, along with the support of each department within Nothnagle, all agents within Nothnagle and the Company’s management team is what drives our success.”

The Greater Rochester area has been both Marcia and Christie’s home from birth to present and they have chosen to raise their families here, believing strongly in the strength of our community and all that it has to offer. As the housing market continues to face new challenges in 2011 it is especially important for sellers and buyers to choose a REALTOR® with a proven track record of success. Focusing on excellent customer service has inspired Marcia and Christie to build an effective combination of results oriented professionals, the highest ethical standards and superior technology - all working to provide their clients with the best real estate experience possible.
