Northeast Ohio's The Amy Wengerd Group Named One of America's Top 1,000 Real Estate Professionals by Real Trends

    CANTON, OH, July 12, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Amy Wengerd Group was named one of America's top real estate teams by REAL Trends. "The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals" is a prestigious national awards ranking sponsored annually by REAL Trends and advertised in The Wall Street Journal. Ranking No. 239 nationally for closed transactions, it is Wengerd's first time receiving this national recognition.

"Being a member of The Thousand is an incredible achievement in today's increasingly competitive environment. This elite group of sales associates are proven professionals who bring together innovative marketing solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with best-in-class customer service to consistently exceed their clients expectations. Their success put the team in the top 1 percent of more than 1.25 million REALTORS nationwide," said Luke Bahrenburg, vice president of real estate advertising at Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal.

The Amy Wengerd Group's 2016 sales increased 57 percent to $47 million in gross sales and they had 291 total transaction sides. Based with RE/MAX Crossroads Properties, they are the No. 1 team within the company's seven locations.

"It's taken several years for our team to work its way onto this very competitive list. Now that it's happened, I couldn't be prouder of my team and their dedication," said Amy Wengerd. "To be based in a smaller market like Canton, Ohio, and still be included on a list with agents in high dollar real estate markets like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, tells me we are doing something right with our real estate business model."

The exclusive list, now in its 12th year, was officially announced on Friday, June 23, 2017, and can be found at thethousandrealestateprofessionals.com. It is comprised of four main 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
