Under new management, and with the support of the top-producing agents in North America, StarPower continues its 20-year tradition of elevating the standard of care in the real estate industry.

 

Waldorf, MD – 12/07/2009 – StarPower, the number-one brand in real estate education, announced a transition of leadership to Alex Charfen, a leading trainer, author, coach, speaker and StarPower Star. The announcement was made at Star Advance, the organization’s annual leadership meeting at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada.

 

“StarPower will remain the most relevant, recognized leader in real estate education,” Charfen said. “With the dedicated involvement of our StarPower Stars, the contributions to the advancement of the real estate industry and our success as an organization are assured.”

 

Founded by industry icon Howard Brinton, StarPower is an organization focused on elevating the standard of care in the real estate industry. Each month a new StarPower Star is selected based upon achievements in sales, leadership, business acumen and a willingness to share the lessons of their success with others. This has helped StarPower Stars typically average more than $35 million in annual sales volume and more than 200 transactions per year. Less than 300 real estate agents have achieved the distinction of StarPower Star, making it the most exclusive designation in the industry.

 

After news of the transition was presented at Star Advance, StarPower Stars Don DeHanas and business associate, Stephen Nichols of DeHanas Real Estate Services in Waldorf announced support of the new management and strategic direction of the StarPower brand.
