Petra M. Bottomley, MIRM, CSP, Broker, Vice President, Senior Sales Manager of Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston Builder Services In new home sales, Petra Bottomley is a name that is synonymous with a "custom-tailored approach." Because no two neighborhoods are alike, Petra sees every new neighborhood as a fresh canvas. The "art" of new home sales requires application of its tools and techniques with skill, individuality, and flair. She brings all three to each new account - to her interaction with builders, developers, marketing managers, and her on-site sales agents.
Her affiliation with Howard Perry and Walston spans a decade. Beginning as an on-site sales agent, she quickly became a top producer. Her leadership abilities and in-depth understanding of virtually every aspect of new home sales were recognized, and resulted in her promotion into management in 2004, where she has proven to be a natural. Those who have worked with Petra immediately recognize her skillfulness in using diplomacy and problem-solving techniques to handle the myriad issues that arise as new neighborhoods are developed. Any given day will find her in the role of liaison between builders and developers, mentor to a new sales agent, and trouble-shooter for a challenging on-site sales issue. Petra understands the nuances of sales success for master planned communities, small lot subdivisions, condo conversions, neighborhood close-outs, and custom, regional, and national builder developments.
Access and communication are two ingredients that Petra connects with her success, and ultimately the success of the builders and developers she works with and the sales agents she mentors and manages. With builders and developers, she works from day one to demonstrate the high standard of professionalism they can expect. She stands behind her commitment to be accessible and to always keep lines of communication open. Similarly with her sales agents, she understands that they are an extension of her when they are out on-site, and so she takes both pride and care in seeing that they have the tools necessary to be successful.
Professional honors that Petra has received include: TSMC sales achievement awards; TSMC Million Dollar Circle Gold Awards; Coldwell Banker Gold, Silver, and Bronze Associate; and the Coldwell Banker Award of Excellence, International Diamond Society. Staying on the cutting edge of new developments in the home building and real estate industries, Petra is an active member of the Triangle Sales and Marketing Council, the Home Builders Association of Raleigh/Wake County, Raleigh Board of Realtors, New Home Marketing Group of America and a Member of the Institute of Residential Marketing. Petra was named "Sales Manager of the Year" at the 2009 Howard Perry and Walston Company Awards.
