SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spiro Marin, the team of Spiro Stratigos and Dorothy MacDougald at Zephyr Real Estate, is the No. 1 Top Producer for all of Novato in 2017, as well as Zephyr’s No. 1 Top Producing Team in Marin. This powerhouse team of Marin natives brings together experience, service and commitment to retain their No. 1 in Novato status for the second year running.
With an effective, systematic approach and meticulous attention to detail delivering impressive results for clients, Spiro Marin closed 48 transactions in 2017, 35 of which were in Novato alone. With over $43 Million in total closed transactions, and with Novato accounting for nearly $31 Million of that, it’s no surprise that they achieved No. 1 status for both the city of Novato as well as for the Zephyr Marin office.
Consistently receiving 5-star reviews, one recent client expressed it best: “Spiro was fantastic! It takes a lot of negotiating, finesse, balance and calmness to handle a sale and purchase at the same time. We staged, listed, purchased and sold all within 35 days! We needed to sell quickly to get our dream house and Spiro made it happen! We could not be more grateful and thankful. He helped guide us through everything flawlessly.”
Spiro T. Stratigos is a top-producing broker with more than 20 years of success in the business. He was raised in Sausalito and began investing in his community while pursuing his education in Real Estate and Urban Land Economics. He continues a family tradition spanning three generations in the industry and has developed long-lasting relationships with his loyal client base.
Dorothy MacDougald brings a strong full-service background along with previous experience in the mortgage industry. She has a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Business Administration and is dedicated to full and transparent communication with her clients. Her early career began at Nordstrom, a company well known for its commitment to customer service, and she is passionate about providing her clients with a positive real estate experience.
Spiro Marin's philosophy is “Smart, One Time, Done the Right Way.” Their lifetime community involvement in Novato, San Rafael and throughout Marin County is a core component of how they conduct their business. During 2017 alone they contributed more than $6,600 to Sparkle Foundation, a Novato based organization dedicated to women helping women. In 2018, they plan to expand their donation recipients to also include 10,000 Degrees, an organization that helps low-income students achieve their college degrees. A donation is made from every single closed transaction, along with matching funds from Zephyr, to support these admirable local charities.
"The real estate market is intensely competitive and constantly changing, but we never forget our priorities as we negotiate the complexities of each transaction. Our clients and community come first, always,” commented Stratigos.
“Spiro and Dorothy’s energy, tenacity and dedication are evident down to the last detail on each of their real estate transactions. It comes as no surprise that so many people in Novato have entrusted them with the purchase or sale of their home,” commented Erinn Millar, Sales Manager at Zephyr’s Marin office. “When hiring Spiro and Dorothy, clients really benefit from their experience working with a high number of people year after year. It compounds. They truly think of everything and have a strategy for every situation that could come up during a real estate transaction."
