Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Realty Center, the largest locally owned brokerage, has announced the winners of its 2016 sales awards Feb. 22 at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club. These top Realtors and Realtor teams earned the highest marks both for Realty Center and for the international network of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
Ben Kelly, CEO, and Karen Kelly, vice president, also announced that their son, Byron Kelly, has been promoted to president of the five-office firm, which is headquartered in downtown Chattanooga.
Linda Brock of Realty Center’s East Brainerd office was designated Top Agent. Berkshire Hathaway honored Brock with the Chairman’s Diamond designation, meaning she was among the top one-half of one percent of the network’s agents.
Brock has closed nearly $700 million dollars worth of business since she became a Realtor in the mid 1990’s. “She has the highest average sales price of any member of the local MLS over that time period, demonstrating her mastery of the high end market in Chattanooga,” said Byron.
