Chicago-based @properties increases the depth of its management team as the firm looks to build on its leading North Shore market share
@properties, the largest residential brokerage firm in Chicagoland and on the North Shore, has added another industry veteran to its management team. Company co-founders Thad Wong and Mike Golden announced top-producing @properties agent Karen Mason has been named vice president of brokerage services for the firm’s Winnetka office. Mason will also co-manage the firm’s Glencoe office alongside @properties vice president of brokerage services Jorge Abreu.
In Winnetka, Mason will take over day-to-day management duties, allowing @properties’ executive vice president of culture and agent development Amy Corr to focus on enhancing and expanding the company’s coaching, training, and business-planning solutions for agents. Corr spearheaded the launch of the office in 2010.
Mason joined @properties 11 years ago and has been an agent since 2004. In her new role, she will oversee recruitment, training, and operations for the Winnetka and Glencoe offices.
