Laurie Shenkman a Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Heritage in Allentown has been awarded recognition from the International Sterling Society as acknowlegement of excellent sales achievement.  This award comes after nearly a decade in the business. Despite negative publicity regarding real estate there is a rich and exciting opportunity for people ready to transform their lives and the world they live in.

“Real Estate is not so much a business about properties,” states Shenkman, “It’s a business about people – their dreams, aspirations and that very private connection to a place they call home. Nothing transforms us more than where we live and set down roots. Truthfully, the satisfaction I feel is recognition - not for the prize - but in knowing that I am learning the craft of bringing satisfaction to others. Buying or selling a home is emotional. It is an emotionally charged process. Finding our place or passing it on to others is a huge event in our lives. Orchestration of this process – to attend all mechanics from listings and showings to settlement – requires a full range of skills that must be applied every day. Success depends on empathy, speed, intuition, analysis, creativity, determination, negotiation and extreme patience.”
