Weichert Capital Properties & Estates Flourishes Despite Challenging Market
3/20/2008
MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. – Weichert Capital Properties & Estates, the
luxury-home division of Weichert, Realtors®, recently announced that 2007
proved to be yet another prosperous year.
Despite dealing with a challenging real estate market through the year,
Capital Properties & Estates eclipsed the total dollar volume sales it
generated in 2006. The company also
experienced its best year ever for sales of $3 million-plus listings.
“We are
very pleased with how 2007 turned out for the division, particularly in light
of the performance of the real estate market as a whole,” said Roger Christman,
vice president of Weichert Capital Properties & Estates. “The continued annual success of Capital
Properties & Estates is a testament to our exceptional team of
highly-skilled individuals and reaffirms that luxury homes do sell in a timely
manner when priced appropriately.”
In 2007,
Capital Properties & Estates increased its national exposure as a result of
the continued growth of the Weichert network of companies. Working closely with both company-owned
offices and offices of Weichert Real Estate Affiliates, Inc., the franchise arm
of Weichert, Realtors, Capital Properties & Estates enhanced its presence
in the luxury-home markets of Pennsylvania,
Southern New Jersey, North Carolina and South Carolina.
