By Cindy Hodnett

During an upbeat awards banquet at Wake Forest University’s Bridger Field House, Prudential Carolinas Realty President and Chief Executive Officer Tommy Camp commended every PCR employee for a successful year in 2007. Acknowledging the challenges of dealing with negative media reports about the real-estate market, Camp explained that Prudential’s agents continued to succeed, noting that many surpassed their sales totals from the previous year.

“Once again, in 2007, Prudential Carolinas Realty sales associates demonstrated the extraordinary skill and know-how they bring to serving our clients,” Camp said. “While there has been a great deal of negative press about the residential real-estate market, many of our sales associates had the best year of their career. I attribute this to our sales associates’ deep roots in the Greater Winston-Salem/Forsyth County community and their passionate commitment to it. It is a privilege for me to be a part of this great team.”
