Shirley Richards

Working as an individual, broker associate Shirley Richards is the top sales associate for her Coldwell Banker office for 2006 closed sales. Richards works for the Westlake Village Regional office, which has approximately 200 fulltime agents. Additionally, Richards placed in the top 100 category for Coldwell Banker Southern California, which has more than 124,000 agents, according to branch manager Frances Lewis.

Every year that Richards has been affiliated with Coldwell Banker she has been her office's top agent for closed sales. When her office location was previously called Fred Sands and Brown Realtors, she was frequently the year's top agent. Richards believes the additional knowledge she has gained with the international designations of CRB, CRS and e-PRO, which are earned with additional coursework and experience requirements beyond obtaining a broker's license, has helped her be successful in closing escrows for her buyers and sellers.

Over time her clients have repeatedly expressed appreciation for her efficiency, integrity, enthusiasm and energy. Additionally, her audiovisual tours on the Internet at www.ShirleyRichards.com are credited with selling many of her listings.

Richards holds a master's degree and an undergraduate degree magna cum laude from Midwestern universities. She, her husband and their two sons moved to the Conejo Valley in 1976, and she has been a local realtor since 1979.
