Winners to be announced at October celebration

Long & Foster Real Estate, the No. 1 privately owned residential real estate company in the United States, is proud to announce that the LizLuke Team, led by Elizabeth Lucchesi, has been named as a finalist in the 2016 Alexandria Chamber of Commerce Business Awards. The leading real estate team is being considered for the chamber’s Small Business of the Year award, which recognizes organizations with up to 25 employees and less than $2.5 million in annual revenues.

Access National Bank’s Senior Vice President of Client Services John McManus nominated the LizLuke Team for the award. McManus has known Lucchesi and her team for many years, both personally and professionally. He currently serves as Lucchesi’s personal and business banker, and he was a past client of the LizLuke Team in 2010. They have also worked together through various programs at the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s an amazing accomplishment to be selected as a finalist in the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce’s Business Awards, and we’re incredibly grateful to John for recognizing our commitment to the community, the chamber and the industry,” said Lucchesi. “We also thank all of our clients for their trust in our real estate expertise and for helping us to build such a successful business in the greater Alexandria area.”

To nominate the LizLuke Team for the honor, McManus submitted a comprehensive application about their business and local accomplishments. The chamber considers a wide variety of criteria for its awards, from the nominee’s overall business goals to its impact on the business and charitable communities in the local area. Winners will be announced at the 2016 Business Awards ceremony on Oct. 19, and the LizLuke Team is looking forward to the celebration.

“It’s the commitment of real estate agents like those on the LizLuke Team that has enabled them to earn an honor such as this one, and we’re proud to have them as part of the Long & Foster family,” said Boomer Foster, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Our company has a reputation of honesty, integrity and best-in-class customer service that spans nearly 50 years, and the talent of professionals like Elizabeth and the LizLuke Team is why we remain the top real estate company in the Mid-Atlantic.”
