Stacy Richardson

It was recently announced that Stacy Richardson, a sales associate in Dilbeck's Westlake Village office, was named Sales Associate of the Year at Dilbeck Realtors GMAC's annual awards banquet. Richardson not only took home the Sales Associate of the Year but also the Raymond T Dilbeck Memorial Award, one of the most prestigious awards in the company.

The Raymond T Dilbeck Memorial Award is presented to the person within the company who demonstrates character, integrity, honesty, hard work, caring support for others and a commitment to family, both personal and professional. "These are the qualities that Richardson exemplifies," said Mark Dilbeck, president of Dilbeck Realtors.

The ballroom at the Odyssey Restaurant in Granda Hills set the stage for this year's event to honor the company's outstanding achievers of 2006. This year's theme was "Dateline Dilbeck . . . Generations of Trust for Generations to Come," and more than 450 agents attended.

"We are extremely excited that we will remember 2006 as a year of tremendous opportunity, progress and transition. Throughout the year, we at Dilbeck Realtors remained focused on the long-term, making decisions centered on helping each of our sales partners to be more productive while providing superior service," said Dilbeck.

Richardson was also named First Place Associate of the Year in her Westlake Village office, a position she has held for the past 15 years, and she will once again take her place on the President's Council, which is composed of the top 2 percent of sales associates in the company plus the top award winner in any office who is not represented in the top 2 percent. This council meets with the management team periodically to help develop new ways to succeed in today's real estate market.

Additional award winners in the Westlake Village office include:

Sally Varga: Second Place Office Associates of the Year and Award of Distinction Judi Irwin: Third Place Office Associate of the Year Stacy Richardson: Award of Excellence

"Congratulations to all our winners," said Dilbeck. "Thank you for your loyalty and dedication. We look forward to a great 2007 and beyond. Because of you, we are proud to say 'Generations of Trust for Generations to Come.'"
