Shirley Gary, owner and CEO of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton, has been named Georgia’s Number One Individual Agent for transactions closed and also for sales volume in the 16^th annual “The Thousand List” of the top 1,000 real estate sales professionals in the U.S.  In addition to her statewide honors, Gary was ranked Number Five Nationwide for transactions closed and Number 131 Nationwide for sales volume.  The Thousand List is divided into four categories, with each listing the top 250 Realtors®:

• Individual Agent – Sales Volume

• Individual Agent – Transaction Sides (either the buying or selling agent)

• Agent Team – Sales Volume

• Agent Team – Transaction Sides

“These honors are remarkable, but they don’t tell the whole story,” said Kelly Stephens, managing broker of Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton.  “Shirley won top honors in the state for closing 621 transactions.  The agent named in second place closed 153 transactions during the same timeframe, so that is a tremendous difference.  Also, Shirley’s top position in the state for sales volume is for generating over $121 million last year.  The second-place finisher in Georgia generated $20 million less during the same period.”

“I am honored and thankful to be named again to “The Thousand List” and proud of my team at Engel & Völkers Buckhead Atlanta and Engel & Völkers Atlanta North Fulton,” said Gary. “Their professionalism, market knowledge and commitment to their clients are what set us apart locally and nationally.”
