Realty Executives Premiere
Congratulations to Managing Broker of Realty Executives Premiere, Pat Callan for receiving the prestigious "Organization Key Award" from the Mainstreet Association of Realtors® (MORe). Pat received the award for his exemplary commitment to the organization and his outstanding contributions to the advancement of the REALTOR® profession. With more than 17,000 members, MORe covers over 200 municipalities in DuPage County, Lake County and Western and Southern Suburban Cook County.
Pat’s service over the years speaks for itself. As a “walk the walk” type of leader, Pat’s resume spans the local, state, and national level. For more than two decades, Callan has served on numerous committees and task forces at MORe, in addition to his work at the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and Illinois REALTORS®.
“I am honored to receive this recognition award from Mainstreet. It is the best local association in the country. It’s membership and leadership over the years has been outstanding and I am proud to serve in whatever capacity that I can provide value. Thanks Mainstreet for all the leadership and value that you bring to your members!” Callan said.
Callan’s current assignment at MORe includes serving on the Finance and Audit Committees. Through the years, the real estate professionals at Realty Executives Premiere continue to count on Pat’s industry knowledge and involvement to keep them informed of the critical issues affecting their ability to perform their services to clients.
“Our broker Pat Callan is very involved in the Association end of the business. He stays on top of the local, state and national policies, especially political issues that will affect our business,” said Executive Jean Marie Milligan.
In February, Realty Executives Premiere celebrated 25 years of guiding buyers, sellers and real estate investors throughout west suburban Chicagoland. Since the firm’s inception in 1993 Callan has led Realty Executives Premiere with integrity and insight. Starting with just two agents, today the brokerage is home to more than 30 real estate professionals across two branch locations in Wheaton and Aurora. The company and its agents have been recognized for their leadership by Realty Executives International as well as top real estate publishing companies including REAL Trends.
On May 8 the team at Realty Executives Premiere in Wheaton, Illinois joined together for Habitat for Humanity's “Women Build Week 2019.”
The event was held May 4-11 and was celebrated in the way of hammers held high and sleeves rolled up, with various teams working throughout the week. Eleven members of the Realty Executives Premiere team joined the effort that ultimately raised $100,000.00. DuPage’s Habitat for Humanity chapter took part in Women Build Week to help women across the community overcome barriers and experience the long-term benefits of affordable homeownership.
“It was a great day for our build in Hanover Park, Illinois,” said Jean Marie Milligan, team captain and real estate professional with Realty Executives. “Our hands-on work was part of a revitalization program to build twenty-seven 2-3 unit townhomes. This will be an ongoing project,” Milligan said.
Realty Executives Premiere participated in Women Build Week by creating a team and raising nearly $3,000.00 to contribute to the cause. This year’s team included:
Brokerage Staff:
Jenny Holloway, Office Manager
Austin Stowe, Office Administrator
Jean Marie Milligan
Sue Wiskowski-Fair
Renee Stoddard
Paula Schatz
Sylvia Rivera
Mortgage Lenders from Compass Mortgage:
Mary Glavin and Amy Long
Friends of Realty Executives Premiere:
Carla Lampsa and Michelle Kline
“This is the third year Realty Executives Premiere has volunteered as a team. It is so rewarding. Being in real estate, I see first hand the joy of homeownership and the thrill and sense of pride on the face of a buyer when you hand them the keys to their very own home. Giving back to our community is so important and it is so touching to hear the recipient's stories. Many are single moms who have been abused and living in shelters. They are so grateful for the opportunity to provide a stable home for their children. These families need to qualify for a home, attend classes on financial management, carry a small mortgage, but more importantly, they need to contribute 250 hours of sweat equity for each adult living in the home. So many of the soon-to-be homeowners will join us on a build site. Habitat for Humanity is a ‘hand up’ not a hand out,” Milligan said.
Each team member participating in the build day must personally raise a minimum of $250. Every year Realty Executives Premiere has participated, they have surpassed their fundraising goals.
“The support of our office is incredible. The Executives who are unable to join us for the build will donate to our team. In addition, Pat Callan, our managing broker, always supports and donates to our team,” said Milligan.
Congratulations to the team at Realty Executives Premiere for the role they played in DuPage Habitat for Humanity’s latest build! The next big fundraiser for DuPage Habitat for Humanity is coming up on September 19, 2019. To take part in the Annual Golf Tournament and Liberty Mutual Invitational at Seven Bridges Golf Club in Woodridge, Illinois, contact Jean Marie Milligan. For more information about opportunities with Realty Executives Premiere, contact Jenny Holloway or visit the company site.
More than one hundred party-goers gathered at Realty Executives Premiere on February 21, coming together to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary. From the emcee spinning hits throughout the night, to the delicious food, mixologist-crafted drinks, photo booth and bountiful raffle prizes, the pros at Realty Executives Premiere enjoyed a jam-packed night celebrating the company’s longevity, tremendous per-agent productivity, industry leadership and plans for the years ahead.
With Broker/Owner Pat Callan leading the way since 1993, Realty Executives Premiere has grown from just two agents to more than thirty of the area’s most productive real estate pros. Together with Office Manager Jenny Holloway, Callan continues to lead and live by the company’s “people-first” precept, putting the needs of Realty Executives agents-- and in-turn Chicagoland area homebuyers and sellers-- first.
“It's been a pleasure serving the buyers, sellers and real estate investors of west suburban Chicagoland for the last 25 years. We have tried to maintain the highest standards while assisting our clients in reaching their goals. The high productivity of our real estate professionals proves that we have been able to achieve that standard. We have been here in the same location in Wheaton for the past 25 years and we intend to go for 25 more,” Callan said.
From new recruits to seasoned agents who have hung their stars with Realty Executives for decades, the excitement for the future was palpable and attendees agreed: the company has a lot to celebrate.
“I joined Realty Executives in January of 2019 coming from a brokerage that claimed to have the best technology around and charging a pretty penny for it as well. Since moving to Realty Executives, I have found that the technology is actually easier to use and covers all the bases just as well as (if not better than) the other brokerage. The environment in the office is very down-to-earth, drama free and supportive of my business in many ways. I’m very glad I moved!” said Director of Agent Development, Lisa Hoffmann.
The team at Realty Executives Premiere was excited to show off their new, completely remodeled office space at the Wheaton branch as part of the open-house style celebration, which was championed by eleven local and national sponsors and vendors. More celebrated than the firm’s sleek new surroundings was the company’s culture.
“I have been at Realty Executives for over 15 years and have never questioned my decision of choosing this company. The office staff is a great support-- providing assistance to me that helps me in taking care of my client's needs,” said veteran Realty Executives agent Diana Hardek.
Realty Executives’ high-touch customer support is foremost at both the corporate and local level. Further distinguishing Realty Executives Premiere as a company is broker Pat Callan, who brings next-level insight to his agents with a leadership resume that spans the local, state, and national level. Throughout the last 25 years, Callan has served on numerous committees and task forces for the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), Illinois REALTORS®, and the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS® (MORe).
“Our broker Pat Callan is very involved in the Association end of the business. He stays on top of the local, state and national policies especially political issues that will affect our business,” said Executive Jean Marie Milligan.
As Realty Executives Premiere looks ahead to meet the needs of the next generation of Chicagoland’s homebuyers and sellers, perhaps most exciting are the opportunities available to the newest Executives. These new real estate professionals enthusiastically reap the benefits of the wisdom and experience that is rooted in the brokerage’s legacy.
“Realty Executives Premiere offered everything I was looking for in a brokerage; a reputation of success, a competitive, yet fun environment, and not to mention, a whole bunch of genuine, amazing agents that are always willing to lend a hand to a new agent like myself,” said Executive Emily Kaczmarek.
