March 31, 2011 (Austin, TX) – Leading Austin-based, independently owned real estate agency Goldwasser Real Estate recently announced that they have added a key hire as part of the firm’s planned expansion of its pool of top residential real estate agents.
Kevin Cottrell, formerly with Kelsey Cottrell Realty Group in St Louis, MO, has joined the firm and will hold two key roles: Chief Economist and Team Leader for a newly formed residential real estate team.
"We are thrilled to have this caliber of talent coming to Goldwasser," said Greg Cooper, Chief Executive Officer. "Kevin is a true leader in the industry and possesses the professionalism, real estate market analysis skills, business acumen and dedication to clients that is rarely seen. It’s a huge win for us and for the Austin market. We are excited to have him join us so we can develop even more ways to better serve our clients."
Founder Chad Goldwasser said that when the company surveyed the local, regional and national landscape for the best real estate talent, Cottrell consistently came to the top of the list.
"Adding him to our operation is akin to when a professional sports team recruits a key athlete—it changes the operation and the market the team operates in forever. To have him join our office is such a win-win and a huge step forward for Goldwasser Real Estate," Goldwasser said.
Goldwasser Real Estate plans additional hires of key talent in the coming months as it expands.
