HUDSONS AFFILIATE WITH PRUDENTIAL PALMS REALTY

Prudential Palms Realty is pleased to announce that Mary Beth Hudson and Gregory Hudson, former owners of Avalar Real Estate, have recently affiliated with Prudential Palms Realty's downtown office, along with 12 former Avalar sales associates. Mary Beth Hudson will become the new manager of the Downtown office. Gregory Hudson will be a Prudential Palms Fine Homes Specialist, continuing as a top-producing sales associate. The Hudsons made the move to Prudential Palms in order to take advantage of the advanced technology and marketing resources available through the Prudential brand.
"We are so pleased to be able to join Prudential Palms, continuing our real estate careers with such a high quality Sarasota company," Mary Beth Hudson remarked. "Both Greg and I, as well as our former Avalar sales associates, realize the strength a brand such as Prudential brings. Their marketing programs and international connections, as well as their technological support and infrastructure, is unsurpassed by any company that we have been affiliated with in our 12 years in the real estate business. We are very excited about all the opportunities this affiliation brings."
Prudential Palms Realty is part of the Prudential national network. Resources provided by the company include state-of-the-art technology and local, national and international marketing programs. Proprietary programs are exclusive to Prudential Real Estate affiliates, such as the On-Line Seller Advantage that monitors activity in neighborhoods where listings are active, reporting information to sellers, such as new listings, contracts and sales.
In addition, all Prudential Palms realtors receive the "Quality Service Certification." This program teaches how to deliver the best service quality and customer satisfaction. Sellers are encouraged to go online and fill out surveys about their real estate experience. Based on feedback from 250,000 consumer surveys of more than 500 participating companies and 30,000 realtors, Prudential Palms Realty's downtown office was recently voted one of the top ten offices in the country for service excellence.
"We are a very innovative company," added Helen Sosso, CEO and owner. "Mary Beth and Gregory Hudson, along with their former associates, add a powerful addition to our downtown office. It's not often that a real estate brokerage firm can add so many talented associates at once, especially with the amount of experience that this group has already accomplished. It's a great fit for us and for them. We welcome them all and look forward to their continued success with Prudential Palms Realty."
Prudential Palms Realty combines top local agents with the latest technology to provide powerful strategies for finding or selling homes. The brokerage has offices servicing Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties with over 250 sales professionals.
