Goldwasser Real Estate Names New CEO

AUSTIN, TX – October 13, 2009 – Chad Goldwasser, founder of Austin-based Goldwasser Real Estate, announced Tuesday, October 13 that he is stepping down from the role of Chief Executive Officer and appointing Greg Cooper as the company’s new CEO.

As part of the company’s aggressive growth plan, Goldwasser promoted Cooper, who previously served as Chief Financial Officer. The move allows Goldwasser to focus his time and energy on promoting the company as it opens additional offices not only throughout Texas, but nationwide during the coming years. A noted sales trainer and motivational speaker, Goldwasser will embark on a speaking tour in November, billed as the High Voltage Sales Tour, with Austin business coach Scott Carley.

“Greg is a natural leader, and has charted our growth plan,” Goldwasser said. “He brings a strong business background to an industry that is in dire need of change.”

Cooper joined Goldwasser Real Estate as an agent in 2005, and became a partner in the company in 2007. Since then, he has served as the company’s Vice President of Sales and Chief Financial Officer. Prior to Goldwasser Real Estate, Cooper co-founded the Austin Java Company restaurant chain. As a managing director, he was instrumental in the company’s growth to four locations and more than $5 million in sales in less than three years.

“This is an exciting time for Goldwasser Real Estate” said Cooper. “We are focused on our mission, and my job is to ensure we continue to build a great real estate company that changes the real estate industry.”
