Pacific Union International’s Keith Miller Kicks Off 2010 Contra Costa County Campaign with Company CEO and Professional Staff

Orinda, CA; February 8, 2010 -- Keith Miller, Vice President of Pacific Union International’s Contra Costa County operations, recently assembled his entire team to reveal the company’s strategic plan for 2010. On hand with Mr. Miller were Pacific Union’s CEO Mark A. McLaughlin and approximately 60 real estate professionals from the firm’s offices in Orinda and Danville. Mr. Miller and Mr. McLaughlin presented 2009 company accomplishments, new 2010 marketing initiatives, the overall company goals for the coming year and Mr. Miller’s expectations for Pacific Union’s Contra Costa County operations going forward.

Recent accomplishments include an expanded affiliation with Christie’s Great Estates, the addition of key personnel with Rick Henson (an East Bay resident) taking the corporate post of Chief Technology Officer and Jason Miller’s hiring as Director of Business Development in the company’s Relocation Services Department.

Despite last year’s economic conditions, 2009 production accomplishments in Contra Costa included Pacific Union International’s ability to sell million-dollar-plus listings at an impressive 90 percent of original asking prices and in a shorter period of time (days on market) than most peer companies.

“Our goals for 2010 are very aggressive but achievable. Our productivity-per-agent already exceeds that of most other brokerages in the markets we serve and our growth will come from a combination of continued high productivity, improving market conditions, and the recruiting of top-quality real estate professionals,” said Mr. Miller.

“My outlook for 2010 is for a steady, but slow, increase in all the key metrics; unit sales, dollar volume, and average price point. This is the trend that Pacific Union International has experienced since the early Fall and all indications are for this to continue,” he added.
