Coldwell Banker Elite Wins Business of the Year!

business of the year

We are so honored to receive the Large Business of the Year Award this past Saturday from the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce! The Chamber of Commerce awards this honor to the “company that balances business success with a dedication to improving the community’s quality of life.” We’ve been proud to be actively involved in the Fredericksburg community since 1977 when our founder, Kevin Breen, started his real estate business. In 1982, he opened the first Coldwell Banker franchise in Virginia and we’ve been the area’s premier real estate company ever since! With our acquisition of the Coldwell Banker Carriage House office in Downtown Fredericksburg this January, we’ll continue to be the Fredericksburg area’s best source for real estate knowledge.businessoftheyear

At Coldwell Banker Elite, we know that people make a community – not land or buildings or leases or franchises. We’re committed to giving back to our wonderful community by supporting multiple local charities. We raise $20,000 annually for the Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity, host fundraisers and sponsor adoptions for the Fredericksburg Regional SPCA, support the Rappahannock Big Brothers and Big Sisters program as well as sponsoring a lecture in the UMW Great Lives Series. For over 20 years, we’ve sponsored the Coldwell Banker Elite Grand Prix, a series of ten sporting events in which more than 4,000 athletes compete each year to raise cash for various charities. Aside from fundraising and sponsorships, we also have plenty of agents, staff, and brokers who are personally volunteer for each of these charitable causes. We’re here to stay, and that means helping make life a little better for our neighbors.kevin breen

Thank you to the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce for recognizing us as the Large Business of the Year! We truly  appreciate all of our wonderful clients, friends, business partners and agents who make it easy to love our jobs!

Coldwell Banker Elite Welcomes Amanda Corvetto

Meet Amanda Corvetto

I grew up locally here in Gainesville and attended Stonewall Jackson HS in Manassas back before we had Battlefield & Patriot HS. I have since lived here to see the Western Prince William County areas develop over the past 20 years into an amazing community. My roots are here, my family and friends are here, and most importantly my heart is here. I have a passion for Northern VA, and intend to pass it along to every one of my clients.

I have been a licensed REALTOR® serving all of Northern Virginia since 2012. From 2013-2016 I was affiliated with Long & Foster. I was a top producer for one of the nation’s most highly regarded residential real estate teams in Fairfax County. I won many awards for customer service based on reviews and client feedback. I have completed over 100+ transactions since 2012 which allows me to offer all of my clients a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Coldwell Banker Elite Welcomes Jay Parrish

Welcome-jayparrish-600x400

Meet Jay Parrish

I was born and raised in Northern Virginia and after graduating from the University of Mary Washington with a Bachelors in Business Administration, I knew that Fredericksburg was where I wanted to live and raise my family. I’m happy to call Fredericksburg home and have lived here for over a decade. The Fredericksburg area is such a beautiful and historic location tucked right in between Washington, DC and Richmond. I love that I am able to help individuals and families buy and sell their homes in such a great location! I’m passionate about educating my clients through every step of the process equipped with excellent information and market insight, allowing my clients to make the best decisions possible.

Why I’m Different

Before becoming a full time REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Elite I gained extensive sales and negotiating experience with a Fortune 500 corporation, owned and operated a successful local small business and taught marketing and business classes. From my experience as a successful business owner, I am known for outstanding client service, around the clock availability, social media marketing techniques, and as a skilled negotiator with my client’s best interests at heart. I love the challenges that come with a real estate transaction and being able to figure out a solution to allow the client to achieve their goals.

In My Free Time

I love to spend my downtime with my amazing wife and two daughters. I enjoy taking photos of my family and traveling to new places together. I played basketball at Mary Washington and continue to try and play as much as possible to stay in shape!

Joye Marsh Administrative Professional of the Year

Joye MarshEach year the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce chooses an honoree to be recognized as the Administrative Professional of the Year.  This year Joye Marsh from the Commercial division was recognized by the Chamber for this award.

Joye has gone above and beyond to ensure the success of her company over the past several years.  She comes in early and stays late beyond what is typical to assist when needed.  The few times she has called in sick or whenever she is on vacation she always responds to emails so that no one is slowed by her absence.

As the self-proclaimed “Office Mom” Joye is always planning a birthday celebration, baby shower, wedding shower, sending flowers when someone has lost a loved one, or to celebrate a victory or milestone.  Her contributions help maintain the cohesiveness of her office.

Joye is the philanthropic coordinator for her company.  She is always organizing an event or donations to help her company give back to the community.  She was instrumental in their efforts to help with Habitat for Humanity’s “Women Build” Project by raising money, coordinating events, and even swinging a hammer during the construction phase of the project.  She truly loves to help and never does so for recognition or reward.

Over the last 3 years Joye has remained a student through continuous and frequent training sessions.  She assists with the training sessions and continuing education efforts the company offers to the Sales Agents to keep their skills sharp. She has even begun the process of obtaining her salesperson’s license from the Virginia Real Estate Board, not so that she can begin to sell, but so that she can better serve the agents that she supports.

In 2013 during the merger of Coldwell Banker Commercial Elite and Silver Commercial Brokerage, Joye was there to help oversee integration of existing systems and processes of the two companies to make the overall operation more efficient.  This included getting over a dozen experienced sales agents acclimated with the process, all the while converting approximately 100 property listings into the new Coldwell Banker Commercial marketing & accounting systems.  Thanks to Joye’s experience, work ethic, perseverance, and can-do attitude the transition was smooth and successful.

Joye Marsh is a shining example of what an administrative professional SHOULD be!

Congratulations, Joye!
