SYOSSET, NY - Real estate broker Mara Navaretta of Woodbury, NY recently celebrated the one year anniversary of her home-bred business, Homes By Mara Realty of Syosset, NY, with recognition from The Town of Oyster Bay. Navaretta, who opened her own boutique agency in 2010 after more than 15 years working with corporate real estate agencies, received a congratulatory citation from Town of Oyster Bay Councilman Chris Coschignano in honor of her success and the positive influence she and her agency have had on the Town of Oyster Bay and its communities. "Mara and her organization have made a great impact on the local economy," says Coschignano. "Small businesses are the key to a good, strong local economy and Mara's hard work and steady growth has helped fortify a very important real estate market in our area. Any successful and dedicated businessperson like Mara is deserving of recognition and we are very proud of our local businesses in Syosset and the Town of Oyster Bay," says Coschignano. Since first opening Homes By Mara with just six agents, Navaretta and her business have seen steadfast growth and success. While working to advocate and support Oyster Bay Township's real estate desirability and appeal over the last year, which has helped build its vast communities, her team of agents has grown to 20 to date and her real estate inventory amounts to $25,969,750 in total volume, with an average asking price of $786,962. Her current closing volume is $26,179,500, with an average price of $727, 208. "It has been a pleasure serving the Town of Oyster Bay and its real estate market," says Navaretta. "As a Town of Oyster Bay resident, I have always had an appreciation for the Town of Oyster Bay and its neighborhoods. In establishing Homes By Mara, I have been given the privilege of sharing that appreciation and the opportunity to play an active role in bringing new residents into these wonderful communities. I am fortunate to be able to work within a field that I love and am grateful for the great support and appreciation I have received from the Town and communities I serve."
