Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors’ Woodlands Research office recently received a first place award from Prudential Real Estate Affiliates, Inc., lauding them for being Top Producers in the Southern Region of the U.S. The award for the second quarter of 2009 honors the office in the category of “Top Three Offices with a minimum of 41 sales professionals and a maximum of 75 sales professionals in the U.S. Southern region – for Residential gross commission income.”
Ken Brand (pictured), manager of the office, said the team’s sales and communication tactics proved their best asset as it drew in homebuyers even as the economy took a downward swing. While the Houston and The Woodlands home markets have remained relatively healthy compared to the rest of the country, Brand said consumers are still leery about selling a home.
“What consumers are doing more than ever is choosing to work with people who follow up more, have the best marketing tools, are Internet-savvy, and understand how to sell a home in a challenging market,” Brand said. He said that his office decided as a team to “work harder, work smarter and follow up more.” Staying in close contact with people helped alleviate worries about how their property was faring on the market, and social media was a boon to renewed communication efforts. “We make a conscious effort to stay in touch and keep clients in the loop,” Brand said.

The two main entries into The Woodlands’ newest village, Creekside Park, have been awarded the Golden Trowel Honor Award by the Houston Chapter of the Associated Masonry Contractors.
The main entry into the village off Gosling Road bears the name The Woodlands on a curved stone wall surrounded by natural landscaping on the west side of Gosling, with another curved wall on the east side of the roadway. Four bronze deer sculptures – one buck on the west side and three doe on the east side – accent the walls, and appear to be feeding on the tall grasses surrounding them. The sculptures were created by Edd Hayes, and are the “signature” pieces at each of The Woodlands’ main entries.
From the entrance on Gosling Road, one enters the village along Creekside Forest Drive. At the roundabout, there is a 268-foot-long curved wall of river rock that identifies Creekside Park. Two stone blocks etched with the Creekside Park logo, which resembles a woodcut of water and trees, are mounted into the outer edges of the rock wall. Native trees and plantings including loblolly pine, Mexican sycamore, Mexican plum and water oaks surround the wall.
Pictured at the main entry into the village are, from left to right: Tim Welbes, Co-President of The Woodlands Development Company (TWDC); Paul Hoggatt of Hogatt L.P., General Contractor; David Smith of SLA Studio Land, designer; Robert Heineman, Vice President of Planning for TWDC; and Alex Sutton, Co-President of TWDC.
