Christy and I wanted to share some exciting news about Sotheby’s International Realty.

Data from The Wall Street Journal Top 100 Agents in the US by 2008 Sales Volume includes 3 agents from our brokerage – Sotheby’s in Jackson Hole. Christy and I are extremely proud of our team members Ken Gangwer, Dave Spackman and Steve Hancock. We are so fortunate to have such strong agents in our company to learn from and to strategize with. When individuals are trying to decide which agency and which agent to hire to list or buy from we feel confident that they will choose the most experience and successful firm in the valley. The Jackson Hole Experts – Christy and Garth Gillespie have the opportunity to network with professionals like Ken, Dave and Steve on a daily basis and we believe it strengthens our position as leaders in our field. It is our goal to someday be on this list and we have come close a few times.

If you are wondering Ken Gangwer had a sales total of $85,176,000 (49), Dave Spackman had a sales total of $69,974,000 (68) and Steve Hancock had a total of $58,558,000 (95). In total, Sotheby’s International Realty had 18 of the top 100 sales agents in the country ranked by sales volume. Congrats to all.
