Tiffany Megna, Green Team New York Realty
Tiffany is most often described by clients as honest and passionate. She combines that passion with her tenacity, and work ethic to benefit her clients. . Tiffany has sold homes in all price ranges. For instance, she’s sold starter homes and high-dollar estate properties to condominiums and investment properties. Most importantly, as a Realtor, her first priority is to make her clients happy. She listens to her client’s wants and needs to achieve the best outcome in every transaction. And, she strives to ensure that the buying or selling process is fun, easy, and stress-free. In 2021, Tiffany earned a spot in Top Agent Magazine for her stellar example of being a prominent leader in real estate. Furthermore, Tiffany achieved Green Team’s Platinum Award, for $10 to $15 million in sales volume for 2021.
Geoff Green, President of Green Team Realty, had this to say about Tiffany:
“2021 was a banner year for Tiffany Megna. Not only did she win the Green Team New York Realty 4th Quarter Sales Leader Award, but she also finished 2021 in second place, which means she climbed 4 spots from 2020. Remarkably, this is the first time that Tiffany has won the quarterly sales leader award. That said, I am sure this will not be her last! Great job Tiffany. Here is to a very bright future!”
When Tiffany was asked what she thought about being the 4th quarter sales leader, she responded
..Do the extras! “The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra! “.
Keren Gonen, Green Team New Jersey Realty
Born in Israel, Keren moved to the USA in her early teens. She has a true passion for living a balanced life and helping others. For instance, she has been a foster parent for animal rescues. Furthermore, she volunteers for different charities. Keren firmly believes your location directly affects your happiness and enjoyment of life. She also believes that moving should not be looked at as an obstacle but as a new adventure. And, because of this belief, Keren enjoys assisting others in buying or selling their home. Thus, she helps them to achieve the type of lifestyle they desire and require to lead a balanced and happy life.
This is the 7th consecutive quarterly sales leader award for Keren Gonen. Not surprisingly, Keren is the first to obtain Green Team’s newly created Sapphire Award for $20 to $30 million in sales volume. When asked about how she had accomplished this, she replied:
“I truly care about my clients and their well-being. That’s why they keep coming back and giving me referrals. I treat buyers and sellers the way I would want to be treated. And, it’s also because I believe in hard work. Of course, I couldn’t accomplish all this without a great support system at home. My partner and my sons are fabulous, helping out any way they can.”
Geoff Green had the following words for Keren:
“A true professional who never lets up. If Keren Gonen was a term listed in the dictionary that would be her definition. This is the 7th straight quarterly sales leader award for Keren. Quite an accomplishment, but not a surprise. Way to go Keren. Keep up the great work!”

As many of the sales associates in each office are very involved in the community, the decision is a difficult one. However, in the end, there were two very deserving individuals who received this award for 2020. And in keeping with Green Team’s core values of volunteerism and support of local charities, Geoff Green donated a total of $500 to the charities chosen by each recipient.

Green Team 2021 Summer Social – Fun with a Purpose
The Green Team 2021 Summer Social was about more than getting together and having a good time. It was also about having fun with a purpose. For many, this occasion marked the first time they had been able to socialize in a long time. There was a lot to talk about and catch up on. Therefore, Green Team Sales Associates, their families, and invited guests enjoyed a beautiful day together at lovely Spring Brook Farm in Warwick. Of course, the food was great! Furthermore, there was even a signature green cocktail. And, many stayed to watch the magnificent sunset and enjoy smores at the firepit. However, the occasion also included fun for an important purpose, and Green Teamers came through for a special cause…

Team Up for Hope
Team Up for Hope, a non-profit organization founded by Geoff Green and Amy Green, was that cause. Its goal is to address the challenges of mental health, drug use, and suicide in our communities. This all-volunteer organization is currently made up of a small group of Green Team Sales Associates and Staffers. And, to raise money for TUH, Keren Gonen and Tiffany Megna manned the t-shirt table. Furthermore, they sold tickets for a 50/50 raffle, However, one of the main draws of the day was Dunking Geoff. Yes, the president of Green Team Realty and founder of Team Up for Hope, volunteered to get dunked! A donation of $10 got you three throws. Finally, at the end of the day, Geoff had been dunked several times, and the Green Team 2021 Summer Social raised $740 for Team Up for Hope.

NAMI
Team Up for Hope provides donations to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) local chapters in Orange and Sussex Counties. NAMI, an all-volunteer organization, provides peer support, education, and resources to individuals and families whose lives are impacted by mental health diagnoses. TUH makes donations to other local non-profit organizations that share their time and knowledge to help meet the challenges of mental health, drug use, and suicide.
We were honored to have Dhanu Sannesy, President of NAMI Orange, and Mary Anne McInerney, President of NAMI Sussex in attendance. Dhanu addressed the crowd. She told them how much the support that Team Up for Hope provides means to her organization. In addition, TUH produces webinars that address various aspects of mental health, drug use, and suicide. And, while many of the resources shared are for local organizations, the topics covered are global in content, touching on the very real challenges that impact individuals and families living with these challenges.

2nd Quarter Sales Leaders
Green Team Realty has announced its 2nd Quarter Sales Leaders. They are Keren Gonen, of Green Team New Jersey Realty, and Kasey Malone, Green Team New York Realty.
Keren Gonen
Since joining Green Team New Jersey Realty in 2017, Keren has been a quarterly sales leader many times. In addition, she has twice been the yearly sales leader. Geoff Green, President of Green Team Realty, had this to say about Keren:
“What is most amazing about Keren is not her continued success as a top-producing Realtor, but rather her devotion to people. Keren donates time out of her very busy day to organizations such as Team Up for Hope, and the Sussex County Association of Realtors on top of being a great Mom and Realtor. Congratulations once again Super Star. Keep up the good work.”
Keren stated:
“Being able to assist buyers, sellers, and investors in this market has proven to be a test of my craft. I love Real Estate and hope that each and every one of my clients has felt my passion and desire to serve others. Learning how to serve my clients best in this crazy Market has been the biggest learning curve for me. I’ve had to get creative and definitely think outside the box. I am so grateful that I have been able to assist so many clients in finding or selling their homes or investment. Thank you, to all of you who have chosen me to accompany you on this journey. Be safe and let’s make 2021 the best year we’ve ever had!”
Kasey Malone
Geoff Green congratulated Kasey on being the 2nd Quarter Sales Leader for the New York office:
“A big congratulations to Kasey who is a first-time Quarterly Sales Leader. Kasey lives out the phrase, “work by referral”. Kasey’s friends, neighbors, and relatives all know how honest and hard-working she is. Now the rest of the world does too. Great job Kasey, and keep up the good work.”
Kasey shared her thoughts on being the Q2 Sales Leader at Green Team New York Realty:
“Doing real estate part-time and strictly by word of mouth has made me solely rely on building my reputation as a real estate agent. Each year I set a goal for myself to beat last year’s sales, this year has been my best so far! I had the distinct opportunity to work with famous clients who were referred to me through a close friend and I am grateful that they chose me for their real estate needs. I love my Green Team! They give you all the tools you need to succeed and we get to build great business relationships with each other along the way! This is a huge milestone for me in my real estate career and I am so excited to receive this award!”
2021 Summer Social
Green Team Summer Social – A Time to Celebrate
It’s been a while since our Green Team family has been able to be together. The 2020 Green Team Summer Social was canceled due to the pandemic. The annual Awards Ceremony took place on Zoom. COVID-19 has had the world adjusting to a new normal. In addition to the physical effects of COVID-19, many small businesses and industries have been impacted negatively. However, the impact on the real estate market was just the opposite. Sheltering-in-place led many to reconsider what their needs were in terms of home. Remote learning, remote working, and the need for privacy as well as communal space had many urban dwellers seeking homes that would accommodate their needs. Many decided to move to suburban and rural areas, including here in Orange and Sussex Counties. Despite all of the regulations and restrictions governing the real estate industry in New York and New Jersey, business was booming and our Green Team sales associates rose to the challenges.
Now, it is a time to come together once again as the Green Team Family. On July 24 at 4 p.m. we’re gathering at beautiful Spring Brook Farm in Warwick, NY. We’ll have a chance to reconnect with colleagues and meet new members of the Green Team family, as well as some of our sponsors. Of course, we’ll get to meet their family members, too! There will be lots of food, and games, as well as fun with a purpose.
Team Up for Hope with us!
For those of you not familiar with Team Up for Hope, it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created by Geoff Green and Amy Green. It is an all-volunteer organization with a team of Green Team Sales Associates and staff lending their time, efforts, ideas, and passion for its mission. TUH seeks to address the impact of mental illness, drug use, and suicide in our communities. We do that by raising funds for and awareness of the local non-profit organizations at the forefront of these crises. However, we also want to do our part in ending the stigma that goes along with mental health diagnoses, drug use, and suicide. We do this by collaborating with experts from organizations and private practice who share their knowledge and expertise through the webinars we produce.
The 2021 Summer Social is also a fundraiser for Team Up for Hope. There will be a 50/50 raffle – and the winner must take the cash! We’ll have t-shirts for sale. Perhaps best of all, there will be a dunk tank. And, Geoff Green has graciously volunteered to be dunked to raise money for Team Up for Hope. We’ll have representatives from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Orange and Sussex County affiliates, who will talk to us about the important work being done by their organizations. Daniel McQuade, local artist, sculptor, photographer, and mental health advocate will also be joining us. Donations to Team Up for Hope are distributed to NAMI Orange and NAMI Sussex, as well as to other local organizations. So, come prepared, cash in hand, to support Team Up for Hope.
