Goodbye 2008! Hello 2009!

2008 was a good year for the Gillespie Group. We increased our sales by over 10% from the previous year! We are in the top 3.25% of all REALTORS in our MLS for 2008.

We received several awards in 2008 including the PAAR (Peoria Area Association of REALTORS)President’s Club Diamond Award, the Coldwell Banker International President’s Circle Award, the PAAR Rookie of the Year Award, and the Realtor.com Online Marketing Award of Excellence.

Rich has also completed the GRI Graduate course and received his Brokers license recently. Rich became a member of the PAAR Board of Directors, IAR (Illinois Association of REALTORS) Gen X Gen Y Task Force. Rich also served as a Hour Chair for the Children's Hospital of Illinois/Children's Miracle Network Telethon.

Tara Gillespie joined the Gillespie Group as an Accredited Staging Professional. She took the course and received her certification in May 2008. Tara is a Development Committee member for the Children's Hospital of Illinois and the Hospitality Co-Chair for the Children's Hospital of Illinois/Children's Miracle Network Telethon.

We have received multiple awards and certifications prior to 2008 that we still maintain. You can check them out at Accomplishments on our website.

We are very optimistic about 2009 despite economic concerns! We will continue to do our best and strive for the top!
