Crye-Leike Realtors announced its Top 10 sales producers for 2002 who achieved the highest volume in sales for the company within the Greater Chattanooga area.

Jay Robinson of Crye-Leike's Downtown branch office was named the company’s number 1 sales producer in the Greater Chattanooga area, followed by the number 2 sales producer, Judy Allen of Crye-Leike's Cleveland branch office, and number 3, Sandi Henon of the Signal Mountain branch office.

Other Crye-Leike sales associates who ranked among the Top 10 sales producers in the Greater Chattanooga area include:

Bonnie Hamilton and Kathy Wilder, both of the Signal Mountain office.

"Our sales leaders are to be commended for their achievements, but Crye-Leike would be remiss if we didn't further recognize the remaining members of Crye-Leike's sales team who helped the company reach a record breaking year in 2002, over $3 billion in sales, the highest ever in company history," said Chief Executive Officer Harold E. Crye.

With a network of over 2,300 sales associates, Crye-Leike attained sales of $ 3.17 billion and 22,198 closed transaction sides corporate wide in 2002.

It has a network, he added, of 62 branch and franchise offices located in 33 counties throughout a six-state southern region in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky and Florida.
