McMonigle Group announces third season of Top Agent and call for additional candidates

Jan. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- John McMonigle, founder and namesake of Newport Beach-based McMonigle Group, today announces the return of Top Agent commencing January 19 through February 15.  Marking its third season, the month-long training program and competition - the first and only program of its kind - provides six to 10 residential real estate agents the opportunity to learn from a select team of luxury real estate professionals, and ultimately compete for Top Agent honors with an offer to join the McMonigle Group.

“It’s always a privilege sharing my passion for real estate with aspiring and veteran agents, and the fact that we are entering our third season is icing on the cake.” notes McMonigle. “Top Agent came as a response to constant inquires about luxury real estate practices, as well as being frequently approached by professionals wanting to join our team. The program allows me to give back to the real estate community, while also assisting top talents in their career.”

Partnering with the Newport Center office of Coldwell Banker Previews International, Top Agent - initially launched in 2007 - offers ‘Luxury Real Estate 101’ for the most advanced and thorough training in the industry; experts in sales, financial markets and mortgages, public speaking, marketing and advertising assist in seminar trainings/workshops, as well as provide networking and mentoring opportunities for enrolled candidates. To further enhance the program’s hands-on approach to luxury real estate, individual and team challenges are designed to cultivate well-rounded agents for higher-end markets; from generating sales leads and hosting open houses, to conducting listing presentations and more, candidates are scored on the merit of their performance and character demonstrated. In the end, only one candidate will be awarded a coveted position as agent with the McMonigle Group, while other talents may be tapped to join the ranks of Coldwell Banker Previews International.

“Any agent who makes it through the course of the program will undoubtedly find success in real estate,” notes Bob Braun, Top Agent program manager and renowned real estate sales trainer/mentor. “In addition, we are still looking to add a few more candidates to season three’s roster. If you think you have what it takes to be named McMonigle Group’s next Top Agent, we look forward to reviewing your application.”

Danielle Snyder Potter, a 10 year veteran as a luxury home specialist from Las Vegas, won honors as Top Agent in season two; and Paul Benec, an agent specializing in South Orange County is the founding Top Agent winner. Both agents are currently practicing at the McMonigle Group.
