Agent Spotlight on Tammy Scotto
“It will all work out in the end”.
Tammy Scotto is a big believer that even when there are some bumps in the road throughout a transaction, it will all work out in the end.
Having many players at the table throughout a deal can sometimes be challenging but staying on top of everything can definitely contribute to a smoother transaction.
What separates Tammy from other realtors is her communication and responsiveness to clients. She is big on communication; whether there is information to be relayed or a period of time while under contract she always keeps the line of communication open.
23 Years and Still going strong!
Tammy obtained two licenses in 1999; her real estate license and her marriage license. She is happy to report that both are still thriving. Tammy initially became a real estate agent as she had always had a passion for sales and working with people. With her marriage and the thought of children on the horizon, she knew this career enabled her to be a stay-at-home mom while working part-time. As her children grew, so did her business moving into full-time real estate.
Now with two children off to college, she has ample time to dedicate to her clients. Tammy works long days and always tries to be available for calls, from early morning right through after dinner time. Regardless of whether a client is buying or selling, it’s stressful; Tammy feels that having the ability to connect with her clients and answer questions or concerns as they arise is “priceless” and helps ease their worries.
A memorable deal.
When Tammy was asked about her most memorable real estate transaction this is what she told us:
“I recently worked with a single woman moving to Warwick from another area. We met during the summer of 2020, in the midst of covid, with a home price range of $350-450K. When we finally found a home, we had inspections done and it turned out there were structural concerns that made her uncomfortable with moving forward. My client then saw a house for 700K and asked me to show it to her. She wound up closing on that home and said to me ” See what happens when you double your budget?””
-Tammy Scotto
Pride in her work.
Tammy is proud to be able to say that each year her sales volume grows. She loves to set goals for herself every year and while she might not hit every goal, each one helps her improve her business. Tammy has her CIREC (Commercial & Investment Real Estate Certification) and while she may not have one specific specialty she does work a lot with first-time home buyers as well as many sellers. Tammy has lived in Orange County her entire life and has a vast knowledge of the Greenwood Lake and Warwick areas as well as the surrounding towns. Working with an agent who knows the area as well as Tammy does comes as a huge advantage.
While Tammy has been in the business for over 23 years she attributes the success of her current business to all the training and support given by Geoff Green. Now that we are affiliated with Better Homes & Gardens she is excited to grow her business even further.
Congratulations to the Kimiecik Team!
Congratulations to Chis and Megan Kimiecik for reaching not 1 but 2 new personal bests!
Teamwork makes the dream work and Chris and Megan are reaching impressive new milestones in 2022. In March alone this amazing team brought in a whopping $1,877,500 in sales volume. This brings their first-quarter sales volume to $2,474,500! Not only was this their best quarter yet but they have already surpassed their 2021 sales volume in only the first quarter of 2022!
Now that’s something to celebrate!
Green Team’s 2021 Awards Ceremony
A night to remember after a year we won’t forget!
Green Team’s 2021 Awards Ceremony was held on Friday evening, April 1, at Crystal Springs Resort in Vernon. Celebrating together was especially meaningful, after two years of virtual events. COVID-19 created challenges, however, it also created opportunities. Green Team Sales Associates worked non-stop throughout the pandemic. Furthermore, they had to adhere and adjust to ever-changing COVID regulations while meeting the demands of the market; in so doing, many Green Team Associates achieved their personal best in sales. Thus, new categories of Sales Volume Levels were created. For all categories, Green Team New York/ New Jersey Realty recognizes the dedication, determination, and excellent client service that resulted in these sales volumes. These sales volumes resulted in Green Team New York Realty being #1 In Warwick NY. And Green Team New Jersey Realty #1 in Vernon NJ.
Geoff Green, President, Green Team Realty, with the Top Three Producers of 2021: (From l to r) Jennifer DiCostanzo, Keren Gonen, and Tiffany Megna.
And the Sapphire and GTNJR Yearly Sales Leader Awards go to… Keren Gonen

This new level was created to recognize those with a sales volume of $20 to 30 Million. It is no surprise that Keren has earned this recognition.

Then, in 2020 she joined the MVP Circle with over $10 Million in sales volume. In addition, Keren received the 2021 NJ Realtors® Gold Circle of Excellence Award.

Geoff asked the Board of Team Up for Hope, a non-profit organization he co-founded and chairs, to talk about what the organization has accomplished. Team Up for Hope is made up of an all-volunteer group of Green Team sales associates and staff. Locally, the organization addresses the challenges of mental health, drug use, and suicide by raising money for non-profit volunteer organizations at the forefront of addressing these issues. Team Up for Hope also produces webinars that bring in experts and advocates to provide knowledge, resources, and answer questions on these issues.
Globally, as the invasion of Ukraine began, Team Up for Hope began raising money for a relief organization in Poland assisting the refugees and will continue to do so. A webinar is planned with that organization so that we can all see the many needs that exist. Please visit the Team Up for Hope website and Facebook page for updates, to learn more about our organization, how you can help, and how to donate.
After the award presentations, the party got started…
DJ Chris Paul got the party started and kept it going as Green Teamers hit the dance floor. After a year of challenges, hard work, and dedication, it was wonderful to be able to celebrate with friends.
GTNYR – Achieving Personal Best
COVID-19 created both challenges and opportunities
For those in the real estate industry, COVID-19 has presented many unique challenges. However, it has also presented many opportunities. And, for many sales associates of GTNYR, it meant achieving their personal best. Despite the shutdowns and ever-changing regulations, the pandemic created a housing market with a life of its own. Ultimately, many city dwellers found themselves wanting homes with outdoor space, room for remote working and learning, and private spaces. And, Orange County attracted many of these buyers. Fueled by historically low interest and inventory rates, sellers have been experiencing multiple offers and bidding wars. And, the expertise and dedication enabled Green Team New York Realty Sales Associates to meet the challenges head-on.
GTNYR achieving personal best in 2021
While the housing market soared, so did many of our real estate associates! Therefore, Green Team New York Realty would like to congratulate our sales associates who had their best-selling year in 2021!

Green Team 2021 Awards
Geoff Green, President of Green Team Realty, summed up the unique challenges of 2021.
“It was a culmination of two of the most difficult years in the history of our industry and our Agency. Yes, the market has been sizzling, and yes lots of our Sales Associates had their best years of production ever. However, it all came at a cost. Our Sales Associates worked boldly through a pandemic. They endured countless bidding wars, many of which they didn’t win. They counseled their clients through an endless amount of phone calls to help them not be deterred from attaining their vision of becoming a homeowner. Despite the challenges put in front of them, they all endured and succeeded at new heights. A sincere congratulations to all of Green Team Realty’s Sales Leaders for their success in 2021.”
2021 resulted in the creation of new sales level awards, to ensure that the dedication and hard work of Green Team Sales Associates are recognized. Due to that dedication, Green Team New York Realty is #1 out of 149 offices in the Town of Warwick, based on sales volume and number of transactions in 2021. Furthermore, Green Team New York Realty is #5 of 585 offices in Orange County. Green Team New Jersey Realty is #1 of 206 offices in Vernon Township, based on sales volume and number of transactions in 2021.

Congratulations From Geoffrey Green, President Of Green Team Realty, To Ted Van Laar and Charles Nagy for reaching the commission cap for Company Dollar Contribution in 2021!
Geoff Green’s thoughts about Ted Van Laar and Charles Nagy:
“Charlie and Ted, or the dynamic duo as we call them, have done it again. And, this comes as no surprise because they work hard, stay well connected to their sphere of influence, and have an amazing depth of knowledge. I have no doubt that Charlie and Ted will remain as top producers in this market place, so the only thing left to question is who is Batman, and who is Robin? I am not sure anyone can make that designation because both of them are truly leaders in our office and in our market place. Way to go Gents! Keep up the good work!”
Ted Van Laar and Charles Nagy dedication to their clients and hard work has allowed them to reach the cap on their commission with Green Team Realty. This is an outstanding accomplishment and means Ted Van Laar and Charles Nagy will now receive a 100% commission split on any deal they closes during 2021.
Charles Nagy’s thoughts on hitting the cap:
“Reaching cap is about achieving a goal I set for myself at the beginning of each year.. There is a certain satisfaction that comes with it including knowing I am contributing to the growth of GTNJR, notwithstanding
the monetary aspect. It’s proving to myself that I can compete with my peers at the highest level. In some ways, it’s also a tribute to my clients who have remained loyal to me over the years and when in need of a new home or purchasing their first home they remember me for the way I helped them in the past. Service is really our only commodity and great service is always rewarded.”
Green Team Realty’s commission structure is, no doubt, one of the finest in the industry, but it doesn’t end there. Our lead generation platform, certified sales assistant program, and dynamic training systems are just a few other things worth mentioning.
