The Belt Team of Keller Williams Realty McLean Continues to Climb the Ranks And Is Once Again One of America’s Top Real Estate Teams

MCLEAN, VA (September 9, 2011) – The Belt Team, led by CEO Terry Belt, of Keller Williams Realty’s McLean office, has once again been named one of America’s top real estate teams. The Belt Team ranked #70 on the Top 250 Residential Real Estate Teams by Sales Volume for 2010 (a component of the “Top Thousand Real Estate Professionals”). This is a prestigious national award sponsored by two respected publications (The Wall Street Journal and Real Trends Magazine). Last year, The Belt Team ranked #94 on the Top 100 Residential Real Estate Teams by Sales Volume for 2009. This ranking comes out of more than 1.2 million REALTORS nationwide.

“Being a member of such an elite group around the country is an incredible accomplishment,” said Ron Cathell, Operating Principal of Keller Williams McLean. “The Belt Team continually demonstrates that it is possible to deliver the highest level of customer service in one of the toughest real estate markets in our Nation’s history.”

The Belt Team was also named as the #1 Luxury Home Team for Keller Williams Realty in North America in 2010. Keller Williams Realty has more than 80,000 associates in North America.

“Realtors like The Belt Team who are committed to serving their clients’ best interests with integrity & skill are the reason why Keller Williams Realty is growing so quickly. Customers value not only top-notch negotiating expertise & experience, but trust & loyalty.” said Kay Bellhouse, Keller Williams McLean Team Leader. “It’s also why the McLean office has grown from 27 agents since the Belts helped to launch the office, to more than 180 agents in just three short years. Our Realtors share a commitment to the Keller Williams Belief System – where customers come first, it’s win-win or no deal, and trust starts with honesty.”

“I am delighted that The Belt Team is among the Top 100 Real Estate Teams in the country,” said Terry Belt who serves clients in Northern Virginia. “Our ranking affords us access not only to tools, technologies, and resources that uniquely benefit our clients, but also to some of the top minds in the industry. That’s a win-win for us and for our clients. More importantly, it’s very gratifying to help so many clients find their dream homes as well as help them sell their properties quickly and for the highest price possible so that they can make their dreams come true. Our team is family founded and we treat our clients like family as well.”
