RE/MAX Northern Illinois Network Honors 2010 Top 20 Associates From South Suburbs and Will County

June 17, 2011 - PRLog -- The RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network recently honored its associates whose 2010 residential sales achievements earned them coveted spots in its year-end Residential Top 20.  One agent and one sales team from Will County and the south suburbs of Cook County were among that elite group.  Another agent from the area was honored for success in commercial property sales.

Membership in the Top 20 is based on prior year residential sales achievements.  Each year, the network gives special recognition to its Top 20 residential agents and Top 20 residential teams, as well as its top commercial agents and teams.  A team involves the combined efforts of two or more licensed agents.

In 2010, RE/MAX was the market share leader in listings sold for the south suburbs of Cook County and for Will County.  RE/MAX agents sold more listings in each of those areas than agents affiliated with any other brokerage organization.

Ed Lukasik, Jr., of RE/MAX Professionals, Bolingbrook, Ill., was the top ranked residential agent in the RE/MAX Northern Illinois network for the second consecutive year.  He also was honored for closing 220 transactions in 2010, more than any other individual agent in the RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network.

Also earning a spot in the 2010 Residential Top 20 was the sales team of Bruce Hackel at RE/MAX South Suburban in Flossmoor, Ill.  It ranked #20.

Mark Batinick of RE/MAX Professionals South in Plainfield, Ill., ranked #3 among agents in sales of commercial property.
