Steve White stands with GMNBR Affiliate of the Year, Sonia Gauthier

“It is with great pleasure that we announce that Londonderry agent, Steve White was recognized as the 2013 REALTOR^® of the Year by the Greater Manchester/Nashua Board of REALTORS^® (GMNBR)!” said John MacGilvary, regional manager of the Londonderry office.

This award is presented to the REALTOR^® that has truly represented a high standard of service and ethical behavior for the board and REALTOR^® name. “Steve has worked so hard over the last decade, serving the REALTOR^® community, local charities, and clients, while staying dedicated to continuing education and standards of practice” added John.

The award was announced on Thursday, May 9th during a special GMNBR ceremony. Steve was given the award based on several factors, some of which include service to board members, designation, board activity participation, and continued education.

However, the part that “Veranians” see from Steve every day is one of the factors that the GMNBR sets as the highest priority in determining this award’s recipient:

“We look for the value in a person’s REALTOR^® spirit and REALTOR^® ethics as they conduct their business with high principles and faithfulness to our Code of Ethics.”

Steve demonstrated this in his response when asked by Verani agents what receiving this honor meant to him. He said “I am overwhelmed by the support and congratulations from all of you, my friends, but to me, this is OUR award. I am very grateful to Margherita and Giovanni, who have supported my ventures for many years. Working with them and all of you at Verani is the greatest. Thanks!”

This is the 6th year in a row that we have made the list! Congratulations to all of our agents for helping us make this list – yet another year!

The Gibraltar Award is Prudential Real Estate Affiliates’ highest honor. It recognizes the top 50 brokerages in North America for sales production or transactions over a given year.

This year, Prudential Verani Realty ranked #30 out of the entire Prudential Network – rising up from #34 the previous year! More impressively, this is the 8^th year in a row that Verani Realty has received this prestigious award!

Verani Realty was recognized for this award during a special ceremony at the Prudential Real Estate’ Sales Convention held at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, NV earlier this March.

“We are very proud to be recognized as one of the top companies in the Prudential Real Estate Network. The success of our company is a reflection of the success our agents and they deserve the credit for this prestigious award! Most companies have never accomplished this level of national recognition and for that we are grateful.” noted Margherita Verani, President.

And the Verani Award winner is…

A Ceremony Unlike Any Other

Prudential Verani Realty (PVR) hosted their Annual Meeting & Awards Ceremony this year at the Castleton in Windham NH with a special presentation that celebrated history, camaraderie, success and not to mention a whole lot of fun!

With the “The Best Is Yet To Come” as this year’s theme, Margherita Verani, President, and Giovanni Verani, Vice President, started the morning with a special video which spanned the history of the firm – from the beginning in 1967 when their father Osvaldo Verani started the company with one Associate, to years later when the company grew up to 12 Associates and onto present day where we are now celebrating our 46^th year in business with over 330 Associates!

Each Prudential Verani Regional Office also had the opportunity to get involved in the presentation by creating an Office video that celebrated and shared their camaraderie. From dancing and singing to acting out TV proofs – agents laughed their way throughout the presentation, which of course also covered business related topics, market share and strategies.

“Many people have viewed Prudential Verani Realty as a very traditional real estate company – maybe it’s because we’re celebrating 46 years in business or that we have over 330 exceptional Associates? But this year’s Awards Meeting showed everyone we are more creative, more energized, more enthusiastic and more excited than ever about our job and our industry! We believe

On June 14, 2011 the Capitol Region Board of REALTORS® presented Linda Hutton with the REALTORS® Honor Society Lifetime Membership.  This is a very special recognition as this membership is reserved for those REALTORS® who have  maintained their Honor Society membership for 15 years.

In order to maintain membership in the REALTORS® Honor Society, members must re-qualify each year, by obtaining 150 points.  Points are calculated based on involvement in community, board, NHAR and education.

The primary purpose of the New Hampshire REALTORS® Honor Society is to encourage board participation among members in order that they might be better educated, active members to serve their customers/clients and in return bring credit to themselves and the real estate industry.  The program is designed for both the newer REALTOR® as well as those who have held NHAR membership for a number of years – it is intended to recognize those members who are actively participating in REALTOR® functions.
