The Maryland Group of Long & Foster, a team of sales agents who serve clients on the Eastern Shore, Southern Delaware and throughout the state of Maryland, is pleased to announce it surpassed $50 million in real estate sales for the year as of Aug. 31 . This is the first time the group has sold more than $50 million of real estate in a single year, which is a significant accomplishment in the real estate business. Long & Foster is the largest family-owned residential real estate company in the United States.

“We’re so thrilled to have been able to not only achieve this feat as a team, but to know that in doing so, we helped hundreds of clients to accomplish their own real estate goals as well,” said Brandon Brittingham and Doug Gardiner, who lead The Maryland Group. “We continuously look forward to what’s next in the industry in terms of marketing and technology and we love what we do with a passion. It’s these types of actions that help our team accomplish extraordinary things.”

The Maryland Group focuses their efforts on using leading technologies and marketing tools to ensure that today’s savvy buyers are equipped with all the information and support they need to find their next dream home or investment property. As most buyers start with the internet, The Maryland Group puts its listings front and center with top-notch search engines. Additionally, its agents are highly trained in negotiation to get sellers the highest price possible and to help buyers achieve their goals.

“The Maryland Group is an extraordinary team of real estate professionals who are fully committed to helping their clients enjoy the total homeownership experience,” said Larry “Boomer” Foster and Gary Scott, presidents of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Their sales record is a reflection of the unmatched level of support and superior customer service that our agents are known for providing to buyers and sellers. The dedication of professionals such as The Maryland Group is why Long & Foster remains the top real estate company in the Mid-Atlantic.”

Earlier this year, The Maryland Group was honored as one of REALTrends’ top real estate groups in the annual The Thousand ranking. For more information on The Maryland Group, visit www.MarylandREGroup.com. For more information, visit www.LongandFoster.com.
