The Kink Team, From The Woodlands, Had an Impressive $93,728,690.75 in sales on Their Way to Becoming One of Houston’s Top Professionals

(The Woodlands, Texas, June 29, 2015) Diane Kink of The Kink Team was named one of America’s top real estate professional teams by REAL Trends, as advertised in The Wall Street Journal. The Kink Team is now a member of the “The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals,” a prestigious national awards ranking sponsored annually by the two respected publications. The Kink Team is now ranked in the top one half of 1 percent of the more than 1,100,000 REALTORS® nationwide.

The Thousand real estate professionals was announced on June 26, 2015, with four separate categories honoring the top 250 residential agents and agent teams for excellence in:

• Individual Sales Professionals—Sales volume
• Individual Sales Professionals—Transaction sides (in each real estate transaction, there are two sides that can be represented by a real estate agent: a buyer’s and a seller’s.)
• Team Professionals—Sales volume
• Team Professionals—Transaction sides

For the first time, REAL Trends has added two new categories to The Thousand ranking based off of average sales price. Like the other categories in The Thousand, both of these are broken down into the top 250 residential agents and agent teams for excellence in:

• Individual Sales Professionals – Average Sales Price
• Team Professionals – Average Sales Price

According to The Thousand, The Kink Team had sales volume totaling $93,728,690.75, ranking them 161st in the nation among over 1.1 Million REALTORS nationwide.

“The best individual agents and teams—including The Kink Team’s award-winning efforts—were nothing short of phenomenal considering the recovering real estate market,” said Steve Murray, founder of Denver-based publishing and communications company REAL Trends, which compiled the list.

“Becoming a member of such an elite group as The Thousand is an incredible accomplishment in any market, but what The Kink Team did during these challenging times is impressive on so many levels,” said Marti Gallardo, vice president of classified advertising for The Wall Street Journal. “Their efforts topped 99.99 percent of the more than 1,100,000 REALTORS nationwide.”

“I am absolutely thrilled to be named to The Thousand,” said Diane Kink who serves clients primarily in The Woodlands, Texas. “Even with the market’s challenges, it’s incredibly gratifying to help clients find their dream homes as well as help them sell their properties quickly and for the highest price possible.”
