This holiday season, Surterre Properties® truly has reason to celebrate – last month, the company’s sales for the year topped $1 billion.
Launched just a little over four years ago in the fall of 2006, Surterre has made its mark within Southern California’s luxury real estate marketplace by doing things differently than its competitors.
Adhering to a unique business model that’s rooted in teamwork, Surterre has brought together a hand-selected team of more than 250 of the area’s most accomplished agents and brokers, each of whom works together toward the common goal of perfecting the real estate experience for each and every client. This innovative approach to business has enabled Surterre not only to survive “the economy” but to flourish during a time that’s proven a challenge for many others in the industry.
“We’re absolutely ecstatic that 2010 has been such a fantastic year for our
Surterre Properties®’ 2010 sales reach $1 billion
agents, and most importantly, for our clients,” said Gary Legrand, Surterre’s president and co-founder. “When we set out in 2006 to establish an independent real estate brokerage focused on the client, we were convinced that teamwork, combined with a heightened focus on old-fashioned customer service, would create a recipe for success that would change the face of today’s real estate industry. Hitting the $1 billion mark this year is a tremendous milestone – and most importantly, it’s a testament to the way we do business.”
Surterre’s innovative corporate culture isn’t the only element that differentiates it from other real estate brokerages. Since its inception, Surterre has operated in an eco-friendly fashion, making a concerted effort to “preserve and promote” the breathtaking natural beauty that places Southern California among the finest places in the world to call home. Surterre also boasts an industry-unique in-house advertising
firm, headed by its CMO and co-founder, Paula Ansara-Wilhelm. The Surterre Studio has proven an invaluable resource for agents and brokers, developing and implementing intelligent marketing initiatives to propel clients’ successes while improving their experiences.
As for the transaction that cleared the $1 billion threshold: it was completed by Lynn and Wendy Noah, a husband-and-wife team who have been a part of Surterre since 2007. They represented the buyer of a property within Newport Coast’s Newport Ridge Vistas, who was relocating to Southern California from Atlanta. Initially, they were unaware that the realization of this particular client’s objective would be such a catalyst for Surterre.
“Wendy and I have been in the residential real estate business for more than 30 years and can confidently say that there’s simply no better place to practice our trade than Surterre,” said
Lynn Noah. “We’re honored that our transaction pushed sales for the year over 2010, but more so, are grateful to work with such a talented team.”
Headquartered in Newport Beach, Surterre has a second office location in Laguna Beach. To learn more about Surterre, please call 949.717.7100, or visit www.surterreproperties.com.
