"Platinum Top 50 has been instrumental to me in fostering relationships with other agents because they provide fun events throughout the year that allow us to be around like-minded agents that we can get to know, grow with, and learn from."

Lisa Sinn Keller Williams Legacy
"Knowing that PT50 also recognizes and supports the impact we make through community involvement, it sets agents in the PT50 network apart from other REALTORS. So many in our profession have tunnel vision of sales and numbers, that they miss out on personal growth opportunities and business development afforded by community service."

Cathy Heshmat Keller Williams Heritage
"Platinum Top 50 is a way for me to give my clients an edge in a highly-competitive market. Whether I’m helping someone buy or sell, the relationships I’ve built through the PT50 network have helped make that first conversation a little easier, a little friendlier, and in some cases, it helps the other agent tell their client with confidence that the other party is well-represented."

Danny Charbel Keller Williams City View
"PT50 partner relationships are an integral part of my business. The partners I have joined forces with allow me to present a team of professionals to my clients that will take them down the road of contract to close with communication, professionalism, and courtesy. Between title, home inspectors, home warranty and beyond, PT50 keeps me connected to industry partners with the highest standards to assure satisfactory results. "
