Our First Team Real Estate Hall of Fame Gala, one of the real estate community’s most celebrated events, took place on the evening of Friday, March 8th at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa. This year celebrated our 40th annual Hall of Fame Gala, celebrating the drive, commitment and accomplishments of our top-performing real estate experts.
“The Hall of Fame Gala is a wonderful celebration in which we take the time to recognize our sales associates for all that they do to move our company’s mission forward by making a difference in the communities we call home,” explained Michael Mahon, President of First Team Real Estate. “On behalf of the entire leadership organization at First Team Real Estate, we are incredibly proud to have been able to honor so many sales associates for their accomplishments in 2018.”
The star-studded event kicked off with a high-energy red carpet entrance, complete with paparazzi and cocktail hour. It was our distinct honor this year to welcome special guests from a variety of our brand new offices to share in our combined success as new members of the First Team Real Estate family.
Determined by criteria, including listing and sales volume, Hall of Fame awards were given both to individuals and teams. With a heightened focus on continuing to expand our business throughout California this year, we are set to outperform all expectations in 2019.
