RE/MAX Names Top 10 Illinois Real Estate Buyer Agents For First Half Of 2008

Rick Davis of RE/MAX Accord, Rockford, Ill., and the Jane Lee Team of RE/MAX Top Performers, Lake Bluff, Ill., earned the No. 1 ranking for residential buyer representation in the northern Illinois real estate network during the first half of 2008. The rankings are based on the number of closed sales in which the agent or team represented the buyer.

Davis was ranked first among individual agents, helping buyers purchase 35 homes during the first six months of 2008. The Jane Lee Team assisted buyers in closing 49 Chicago real estate purchases during the same period. A team involves the combined efforts of two or more licensed agents; individual agents are the sole licensed contributors to their sales production.

“Working with buyers in the current market presents some unusual challenges because agents must help buyers find the right house among the unprecedented number of homes now for sale,” said Jim Merrion, regional director of the RE/MAX network in northern Illinois. “The agents and teams who made our Top 10 are great examples of the outstanding service that RE/MAX agents provide buyers in every community we serve.”
