RECORD SALES GARNER COMMUNITY OF THE YEAR 2013 FOR 50 PARMLEY AT SUMMIT PLACE IN SUMMIT, NJ

Record sales, in what has been called one of the most uncertain economic times, garnered the coveted Community of the Year 2013 Award for 50 Parmley at Summit Place. One of the nation's largest award winning residential brokerage firms, and luxury home builder Mark Built Homes, accepted this prestigious award, along with ten additional ones, from the New Jersey Builders Association (NJBA) during its annual Sales Marketing Awards (SAMs) Gala, which kicked off the Atlantic Builders Convention in Atlantic City, NJ, last week. It is the highest recognition for sales and marketing achievement.

Builder Michael Markovitz of Mark Built Homes states, "We are very proud of this recognition from the NJBA and know we could not have achieved such success without the insight and expertise of Coldwell Banker New Homes. There is no other real estate company that can compare to its level of expertise. It is well known for its strategic marketing plans, customer centric approach and research driven sales results. That is why we chose to work with its team of professionals on what many felt was too challenging of a project."

Markovitz continues, "When we acquired the rights to build the collection at Summit Place, the luxury condominium market was over-built with unsold inventory. Although Summit is an ideal location, there was no market for this type of housing at the time. Coldwell Banker New Homes helped us create a new standard in the luxury condominium market - one that addressed the real needs of buyers despite the market conditions. We sold out the building prior to its completion with prices reaching well over $1 million. It is results like these that make us look forward to more successes in the future."

"We are also very proud of this recognition and even prouder to be able to work with Mark Built Homes once again," states Coldwell Banker New Homes Vice President David Schoner. "Its leadership and vision helped us create and sell a unique new home community which was overwhelmingly received."

Beginning with Best Marketing Strategy, Coldwell Banker New Homes and Mark Built Homes also received nine additional awards for its customer centric program created for 50 Parmley at Summit Place. These included awards for Best Condominium, Logo, Color Ad, Billboard, Internet Promotion, Signage, Lobby, and Landscaping.
