Top Listing Agent For 2023-Brook Sparks
Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty is proud to announce Brook Sparks as their Top Listing Agent for the Firm, earning her the title of Listing Agent of the Year for the 3rd consecutive year.
Brook has also been awarded the Top Producing Agent of the Year for the Elizabeth City office. This accolade is determined by closed sales volume in 2023. Previously, Sparks achieved the title of Agent of the Year for the firm in both 2021 and 2022.
Brook is ranked in the Top 3% of all selling agents* on the Outer Banks. Her impressive sales volume has earned her the prestigious 2023 Coldwell Banker International President Elite Award, an honor bestowed upon the top 2% of all Coldwell Banker agents worldwide.
“Being recognized for this achievement means everything to me. I have been beyond blessed to have the greatest clients and friends that support me in everything that I do. Showing property with your friends is the very best and makes the work day pass pretty quickly! I am fortunate that I get the opportunity to spend my days with clients that are true friends and partners. I am excited about 2024 and I look forward to helping my friends, neighbors and investors reach their homeowner goals in our area. No matter if clients are looking for a high returning investment or a forever home, I always want to be the person they trust” says Sparks.
“Brook is truly exceptional. She not only excels in sales, managing both the Outer Banks and Currituck mainland markets, but also successfully operates a boutique property management firm. What sets her apart even further is her dedication to local charitable organizations, such as the Wounded Warrior in Action program which brings purple heart recipients to the Outer Banks for a week of duck hunting, comradery, and relaxation” says Pamela Smith, Vice President of Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty.
