The awards were presented to the top performing agents who adjusted to the changes of the market and found out how to be successful in the “new normal.” Inlanta congratulates the recipients on their achievements.

Even though the awards ceremony focused on 2011’s agent record achievements, First Weber announced they have posted record numbers already for January and February 2012.

Inlanta Executive Vice President Nicholas DelTorto explained why Schulenburg is such a good fit for Inlanta, “Mark has the drive and knowledge to be a top producer and leader.
