Number One Keller Williams Sales Team in the Southeast Announced

Online, May 14, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The Mark Spain Team's $110 million in gross sales and 631 closed transactions in 2012 also placed them No. 2 in the U.S. (out of more than 80,000 Keller Williams agents) and No. 2 in the world for Keller Williams Realty.

"We had no idea we were going to rank this high in our first full year with Keller Williams as it's such a competitive organization with so many top-producing agents," explained Mark Spain, who joined Keller Williams Realty North Atlanta in mid-2011 after well over a decade with RE/MAX. "It's an honor to represent the Keller Williams brand and continue to help spread its growth in the metro Atlanta real estate market."

The Mark Spain Team experienced a 25 percent increase in 2012 sales volume and Spain says 2013 is definitely on pace to shatter the team's 2012 numbers. He credits the rapidly recovering local real estate market, continued historic lows in mortgage interest rates, an improved unemployment rate, and a shortage of both resale and new homes on the market for their 2013 success to date. In addition, Spain has been busy expanding his sales team, having added five people since the start of 2013, for a total of 28 team members and growing.

Annually one of the top-producing real estate teams, they surpassed $1 billion in gross sales in 2006 and have received numerous industry honors, including being named 20th on the Wall Street Journal's 2012 annual Top 250 Agent Teams list. Each year, the Mark Spain Team appears prominently near the top of this list showcasing the best agent teams from around the country. And prominent people are taking notice. The Mark Spain Team was recently endorsed by both Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, two news industry icons. In order for Hannity and Beck to endorse an agent or team, the agent must be in the top 1 percent of all Realtors® and many are No. 1 in their marketplace as well.

The Mark Spain Team now has an investor department in addition to a Guaranteed Sale Program for its home sellers. Mark Spain will buy a seller's home at a pre-arranged price if his team does not sell the home in the allotted number of days.

A University of Georgia graduate, Mark Spain and his team are based out of the Keller Williams Realty North Atlanta office at 5780 Windward Parkway in Alpharetta. They specialize in assisting home buyers, sellers and distressed property owners throughout metro Atlanta at all price levels.
