Rand of Better Homes and Gardens Rand Rlty. honored by the RBWN
Marsha Rand, the CEO and founder of Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty and Rand Commercial Services, was recently honored by the Rockland Business Women's Network (RBWN) as the 2009 Woman of the Year. She was recognized for her success as an entrepreneur and her commitment to the local community.
Rand, a former nurse, earned her real estate license in 1977 and launched her own firm in 1984.
When she looked to expand her growing business in 1997, Rand turned to her family, partnering with her own sons - Greg, Matt and Joe. Since then, business has continued to soar and Rand is regarded as one of the most successful real estate women in the northeast.
Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty has become a dominant force in Hudson Valley Real Estate and its incredible success has made the firm one of the top 60 real estate companies in the entire U.S.
"Marsha Rand was RBWN's unanimous choice for Woman of the Year," said Judy Bachman, Esq., [resident of the RBWN. "She was selected not only for her remarkable business success but also for her deep connection to the community. Her willingness to innovate and change - integrating title and financial services along with the brokerage services and recently joining Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate - even when her firm was already the largest by market share in the area, serves as a model to all entrepreneurs. We are truly honored to have Marsha as RBWN's Woman of the Year."
