From the Long Islander Newspaper -

oach Real Estate was established in the early 1950's and since 1982 has been owned by Lawrence and Georgianna Finn, who each have over three decades of experience as real estate professionals. Through their efforts, Coach has grown to 15 sales offices, an award-winning relocation and corporate real estate division and a mortgage company, Genesis National Mortgage. Coach has over 295 sales associates and support staff, boasting 23 different languages to handle the growing international market.

Coach Real Estate has been recognized as Long Island's leading brokers of luxury properties by Who' Who in Luxury Real Estate, a compendium of the world's most prestigious real estate brokerage houses. Inclusion in this directory is limited to those firms in the top percentage of sales and listings of the most significant properties in their markets.

Coach is also proud to be the area's exclusive affiliate, since 1991, of Christie's Great Estates, the real estate division of the world famous auction house. The Christie's marketing program reaches influential households throughout our region and across the world.

"Access to the Christie's worldwide showcase for the distinctive properties and their unparalleled marketing programs continues to open doors to the most elite client base and upscale inventory in the world. We are proud to say that every single home to which we have applied the Christie's Great Estate marketing program has sold, and in record time," said Mrs. Finn.

Mrs. Finn is a nationally recognized sales and marketing trainer. She has been a guest speaker at the Christie's International Broker conference for the last four years.

According to Mrs. Finn, "Better trained agents are equipped to provide better service, and most certainly they do. Staying on top of the ever-changing market is our obligation to our clients. At Coach, training and learning is a never-ending process. Our focus is always on improvement."

"Our approach to building a strong company has been to build strong, knowledgeable sales associates," said Mr. Finn. "We are proud of the fact that, as reported by a national survey, that Coach associates average a substantially higher number of transactions each than those associates with all other local companies, and they top the national average."

To that end, the Finns and their management team travel across the country attending seminars and meeting with market leaders to bring back to their associates the latest and most advanced marketing tools.

Because networking is also an important factor in marketing homes, Coach's relocation department has developed strong affiliations with both national and international relocation companies and corporations. Coach is an area representative of RELO Relocation Network, the country's largest affiliation of independent realtors, with 1,100 firms, 4,000 real estate officers and over 93,000 sales associates. Coach is an active member of the Employee's Relocation Council, the National Association of Realtors, the New York State Association, the Long Island Board of Realtors, the Long Island Association, and the Huntington Chamber of Commerce.

A Champion of many causes and charities, the company has received special recognition for its exceptional support for breast cancer awareness, local food pantries, the Ronald McDonald House, and Cinema Arts Centre. In giving their award, the Huntington Chamber cited Coach Real Estate as a company "that excels in management and employee practices, has been committed to contribute to the community, brings vitality to Huntington and makes it a better place to live and work."
