Lanham & Associates' Growth Defies Real Estate Trend -- Exceeds Expectations

OAKLAND PARK, Fla., July 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lanham & Associates has added five sales associates and an associate broker in its first six months, according to Gary B. Lanham, President and founder. "My business plan targeted five agents by year end, and we exceeded that goal in the first six months," says Lanham, who launched his business in January 2011. Lanham's company brand, Real Estate Recovery, expresses his confidence in continuing growth, and the business has expanded services beyond the residential market, to offer commercial and investment properties as well.

Associate Broker Jeff Yunis heads up the new focus on commercial and investment real estate. He brings nearly 40 years of real estate experience in residential and commercial sales and leasing. Licensed to practiced law in New York and Florida, Jeff has completed hundreds of real estate transactions including planning, development, marketing, leasing and sales of residential, commercial and government projects.  

Sales Associate Spencer Jennings moved to South Florida after a 20-year career in real estate in the Atlanta, Georgia area, where he repeatedly earned Million Dollar Club and Multi-million Dollar Club Status. Jennings enjoys what he calls the "matchmaker" role of the real estate agent — connecting sellers with buyers. He continues to believe that even with today's slower, more realistic percentages, homeownership remains a key factor in the accumulation of financial assets.

Sales Associate Richard Rogowski spent more than two decades with Fortune 500 retail and technology companies. His tech savvy background and expertise in internet sales enable him to create a customized, comprehensive plan for selling a listed property.

Sales Associate Bennett Goldworth has worked in the real estate business for nearly two decades, primarily in the New York City area, where his family has been in real estate as investors and builders for two generations. He has bought, renovated and sold his own properties, and he has managed his own firm. But sales have always been his preference. "I believe real estate can be likened to a love affair," says Goldworth, whose goal is always to successfully match people to properties.

Sales Associate Luther Gray retired after 31 years of teaching in the Miami-Dade County Public School System. He has been an avid real estate investor since the 1970s and brings a wealth of investment analysis and real estate knowledge to the Real Estate Recovery team.  While sales may be a new course for this former teacher, he promises to be a quick study.

Sales Associate John Hech resumes his Florida real estate career following the sale of a hotel liquidation business he founded. He honed his sales skills in the promotion and launch of several restaurant projects. John is a member of the Army National Guard where he specializes in food services.

"As you can see, we have a very deep bench," says Lanham. "The breadth of experience and wealth of knowledge enables us to offer a full service, one-stop shop for the real estate needs in this community."
