Local Realtors Had an Impressive Total on Transaction Volume on Their Way to Becoming One of Silicon Valley’s Top Professionals

CUPERTINO, SILICON VALLEY (September 13, 2011) – David Troyer, Dominic Nicoli, Minhua Jin, Efi Luzon and Eric Fischer-Colbrie of Intero Real Estate Services, Inc. were named one of America’s top real estate professionals by The Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends. They are now a member of the “The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals,” a prestigious national awards ranking sponsored annually by the two respected publications. Troyer, Nicoli, Jin, Luzon and Fischer-Colbrie are now ranked in the top one half of 1 percent of the more than 1 million REALTORS® nationwide.

The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals was announced on September 6, 2011 with four separate categories honoring the top 250 residential agents and agent teams for excellence in:

  • Individual Sales Professionals – Sales volume
  • Individual Sales Professionals – Transaction sides (in each real estate transaction, there are two sides that can be represented by a real estate agent: a buyer’s and a seller’s.)
  • Team Professionals – Sales Volume
  • Team Professionals – Transaction sides

“The best individual agents – including Troyer, Nicoli, Jin, Luzon and Fischer-Colbrie’s award-winning efforts – were nothing short of phenomenal considering the challenging real estate market,” said Steve Murray, founder of Denver-based publishing and communications company REAL Trends, which compiled the list. “Ironically, if you look at the top 250 in each category you will find that collectively, their sales volume and transaction sides held up quite nicely compared with the market as a whole.”

“Becoming a member of such an elite group as the “The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals” is an incredible accomplishment in any market, but what David, Dominic, Minhua, Efi and Eric did during these challenging times is impressive on so many levels,” said Gino Blefari, President and CEO of Intero Real Estate Services. “Intero is very proud to have these five Intero agents be named to The Thousand. Their efforts topped 99.99 percent of the more than 1 million REALTORS nationwide.”
