We’re here, once again, for a wonderful night to recognize our valuable team of realtors for all of the hard work to which you’ve committed yourselves over the past year.  Every year, we gather to celebrate the rewards that your dedication to greatness has brought us, and I couldn’t be more proud of everything that you’ve given to this brokerage.  As you know, our company’s slogan is “Built on dreams.”  Well, having the chance to grow our business over the years with hardworking agents such as yourselves has helped us build our dream of being one of the top brokerages in the tristate area.  And, every year, we devote ourselves to achieving new goals so that we can top the year from before, and never have we come up short.  Whether you’ve handled 10 transactions this year or 50, every buyer and seller with whom we worked has helped us establish unbreakable connections within the communities that we serve.  But, as you know, these individuals aren’t just clients to us, but our friends, and our friends deserve the best homes that we can find them.  You have all exceeded my highest expectations, as usual, and I know that tradition will continue this year and into the next.  Anyway, our marketing team has gone all out on this gala to make sure that you have a memorable night, so talk, laugh, dance, eat, and enjoy the evening!
