2 018 C E N T U R I O N ® T E A M S JUDY MCGRAW, SOUTHERN STAR HOME TEAM After 15 years as an individual agent, Judy McGraw decided it was time to form a team to be able to give true full-time service to her clients, so the Southern Star Home Team was born! Judy wanted to add agents who had the same client satisfaction mindset that she had always used to build her business. Her assistant, Angela Gourley, obtained her license and was naturally the first team member, followed by Hilary Silvers, who had just began her real estate career at CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company in Midlothian. Both of these agents bring their great personalities and knowledge of our area to the team and are helping the team to grow through referrals every day. Working together to support each other and their clients helped the Southern Star Home Team to earn both CENTURION Team and, most importantly, Quality Service Team in their first full year! They can’t wait to see what the future will bring. KIM PRATT TEAM In 2009, Kim Pratt met Bill Steddum and Jan Fite Miller at Starbucks, and immediately knew this is where she wanted to be. The rest is history. As Kim was a full-time mom as well, she quickly added a part-time assistant (Tori Smith - after selling her a house from LeadRouter) very early after a year of selling in that market, so she had help with her son, mom, mother-in-law and her real estate business. Tori was a godsend and still is! Kim enjoys helping others in buying and selling their homes and builds strong relationships with them to earn repeat business. She quickly found out that having enough time for this, maintaining some quality of life with family, friends and vacations, were a struggle. Over the last three years, Kim has transitioned from an agent with a full-time licensed assistant to The Kim Pratt Team with a team manager, Tori (with a new title which she has new responsibilities that she is doing great job at) and three buyers agents; Brad Belser (also a previous client who turned into a team member), Jim Finley (our most recent addition), and her handsome husband, Shawn, thus getting some time back. Recently, her son Preston joined the team to help with processing transactions (and any sudden whim that they come up with) and is working on getting his license. Thank you to CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company for instilling great examples of values to pass along to our team. Our team is like a small family within the Judge Fite family, which is one of the best benefits! The Kim Pratt Team has more plans for growth in the works. 2019 is going to be a great ride! 24 CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company 2019 AWARDS CELEBRATION
