Deshotels Wins Rising Star Award From Greater BR Board Realtors

New Agent Has $5.3 Million Sales In Less Than Year With Wayne Clark

BATON ROUGE —  The Greater Baton Rouge Board of Realtors has honored Robin Deshotels with the 2012 Rising Star Award for her sales performance last year.

Robin is a new agent who received her real estate license in January 2012.  Nevertheless, by September 2012, she already had $5.3 million in closed sales.

Mrs. Deshotels works with Wayne Clark of Wayne Clark Realty, and Clark had high praise for the new agent, who worked in the title and banking business before getting into real estate.

Clark, who nominated Deshotels for the award, said, “Her enthusiasm, positive attitude, and passion for learning have enabled her to surpass by mid-year the high goals that she set for herself.  The feedback from her super-satisfied clients is tremendous and has provided encouragement that has helped her continue to have great success.”

“Not only is Robin the epitome of what a realtor should be — service above self — she is also a wonderful mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend to many.”

Clark said, “It was the support and encouragement from Robin that finally prompted me to open my own real estate company, Wayne Clark Realty.  It was a dream of mine for years, but Robin helped me turn that dream into reality, just as she does for her clients with each home closing.”

Two of Deshotels’ clients, Debbie Versen and Scarlet Short, wrote letters supporting Deshotels’ nomination for the Rising Star Award. Clark said he thought these letters played an important role in Robin’s selection for the award.
