When it comes to luxury international real estate, Christie’s International is the world’s leading network—which makes it an incredible honor that Coachella Valley-based HK Lane Real Estate was recently honored with its prestigious Affiliate-of-the-Year Award in the Medium Market Category for 2013. The award recognizes excellence in branding, marketing, leadership and innovation. Recipients of awards are selected from brokerages in the various market categories: small (population under 275,000), medium (population totaling between 275,000 and 1,750,000), and large (population of more than 1,750,000).
Christie’s International Real Estate presented the special award to the locally owned and managed HK Lane at a special breakfast meeting that took place earlier this month at the Toscana Country Club. While the honor was bestowed at the Global Annual Leadership Conference in Barcelona, Spain, Zack Wright of Christie’s International Real Estate attended the local meeting to present the award to the President and CEO of HK Lane, Harvey Katofsky.
The HK Lane real estate brokerage, which our own Kim Kelly is a part of, is one of the 139 affiliate members of the Christie’s International network, which is renowned for luxury international real estate. Operating in Coachella Valley, HK Lane boasts a 35-year history of catering to buyers and sellers of luxury properties within the much desired areas of Palm Springs, including La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta.
“I am extremely proud and honored to have won this prestigious award. I am truly blessed to employ such wonderful staff and agents who now share this tribute with me,” Harvey Katofsky, President and CEO of HK Lane Real Estate stated, “Our partnership with Christie’s has established HK Lane as the major force in the desert’s luxury market. We will continue to uphold the wonderful reputation that Christie’s has bestowed upon us.”
