Top real estate sales agent George Arvanitis, who previously worked for Coldwell Banker, @Properites, Sudler Sothebys, and most recently Conlon Real Estate Company, has joined RE/MAX Premier Properties, located at 1205 N. Dearborn Pkwy. in Chicagos Gold Coast neighborhood.

Arvanitis is excited to start this new phase of his real estate career and has already had record breaking sales in his first 60 days with RE/MAX.

I looked at all the major companies but was most impressed with RE/MAX, Arvanitis said. It had all the qualities I was seeking: a strong support staff, a commitment to technology and global reach. RE/MAX has a multitude of tools for its agents. I thought coming to RE/MAX would give me the opportunity to expand on what I am already doing.

During the last 15 years, Arvanitis has seen real estate markets both strong and sluggish. In the current market environment, he has put an increased focus on short sales and foreclosures, with half of his transactions during the last three years in one of these two categories.

Ive learned that it doesnt matter what kind of economy you are facing. You have to continue to work hard, Arvanitis said. You must stay in constant contact with your buyers and sellers to make sure each transaction closes, which can be a challenge in this market. Agents today have to be on top of everything to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks.

It is critical that both buyers and sellers understand what kind of real estate market they face, Arvanitis said

The current market represents a great opportunity for buyers, and it will for years to come, added Arvantis. Sellers have to be educated about the market so they know what a solid listing price is today.

Selling has long come naturally to Arvanitis. For more than three decades, he worked in the advertising sales field, holding the position of director of advertising sales for MTV Networks and serving as account director for Ted Turner Media, which included the properties of CNN, TBS and TNT. Arvanitis was also vice president of advertising sales for CNBC network.

Attracted to the challenges and rewards of working for himself, Arvantis moved into real estate sales 15 years ago. He immediately thrived in this new career, regularly ranking among the top 1 percent of real estate agents in the Chicago area.
