August 17, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
HOUSTON, TX — Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors, has recognized the accomplishments of Ryan Moody by honoring him as the 2006 Rookie of the Year. Marilyn Eiland, partner, Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors, made the announcement at the company's mid-year meeting held recently at the Westchase Marriott in Houston.

Working out of Prudential Gary Greene's Jamaica Beach office in Galveston for less than a year, Moody's productivity has been exceptional. The 27-year-old sold a home his first week as a Realtor. Since starting in the business in October of 2005 he has secured 25 property listings and 18 closings. Although not related to the famous Moody family synonymous with the Island, Ryan is a Galveston native and well-established in the area.

"I chose Prudential because it is a strong, national company with a great reputation locally," said Moody. "Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors is a dynamic organization that is on a major growth pattern."

Kelly Kelley, Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors co-manager in Galveston, is proud of Moody. "It's particularly impressive for a Galveston-based Realtor to be named the top new agent for all of the Prudential Gary Greene offices in Houston," she said. "For Ryan to have accomplished all he has in a smaller market area is a testament to his hard work."

While acknowledging the seasonal nature of the Island, Moody is enthused about Galveston real estate and its future.

"The new Schlitterbahn Waterpark, condo projects and new home construction are clear indications of a bright future," he said. "Galveston has a lot of appeal for families and seniors interested in both primary and vacation homes. I would rather be here than anywhere else in the world."
