Achievements in Metro Chicago Real Estate Sales Bring Career Honors from RE/MAX to McHenry County Agents

Elgin, IL, September 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- A group of RE/MAX affiliates from McHenry County, Ill., were among the elite agents who recently earned career awards from RE/MAX, the leading international real estate organization. Eight agents from three offices in the county earned these awards, which are based on continued sales achievements in the metro Chicago real estate market, which is among the most competitive in the nation.

RE/MAX affiliates are eligible to receive awards marking important professional milestones during their career with RE/MAX. These career honors include the Hall of Fame, Lifetime Achievement Award and Circle of Legends awards, which are distinct from the honors that agents can earn each year for their annual sales production.

All eight honorees in McHenry County were named to the RE/MAX Hall of Fame, which recognizes agents who have completed 350 or more real estate transactions during their career with RE/MAX. Those being welcomed to the Hall of Fame this year are: John Greener, Bill Hauck, Debra Kukulski, Jose Rey and Kay Wirth, RE/MAX Unlimited Northwest, Crystal Lake; Laura Heinberg, RE/MAX Connections II, Marengo; and Kenneth Koreba and James Schaid, RE/MAX Plaza, McHenry.

Across the RE/MAX Northern Illinois region, 119 RE/MAX affiliates have earned career awards so far in 2010.
