Colbert realty team notches two awards The Kathleen Colbert Team at Prudential California Realty — consisting of Colbert, Joel Young and Andrea Young — is entering its 26th year with Prudential and boasts a total of 53 combined years of real-estate experience. The team has just received two prestigious awards: Prudential’s Chairman’s Circle Award, signifying the top 4 percent of Prudential agents in production nationally; and San Diego Magazine’s Five Star Real Estate Agent Award, which is given to fewer than 5 percent of agents in San Diego County. The latter award is based in part on surveys in areas as overall satisfaction and whether they would recommend the provider to a friend. In addition to the awards, the team placed in the top 100 among all Prudential agents in San Diego County and third out of over 60 agents in their office. They represent buyers and sellers all over San Diego County with special concentration in the areas of Point Loma, North Park, Del Cerro, San Carlos, Allied Gardens and the College Area. A majority of the team’s success comes from referrals and repeat business from past clients, Prudential officials said. “Kathleen, Joel and Andrea are strongly devoted to helping their clients achieve satisfaction in all their real estate dealings,” said Jim Reifuss, manager of Prudential’s San Diego central office. Pointer wins Republican Women honor Point Loma High School senior Brooke Justus was selected as this year’s winner of a $2,000 scholarship offered annually by San Diego County Federation of Republican Women (SDCFRW). Point Loma Peninsula Republican Women Federated (PLPRWF), one of 23 Republican Women Federated clubs in San Diego County, chose Justus as its representative in the county contest because of her excellent essay on “What the U.S. Constitution Means to Me” and a track record of academic achievement that outpaced other entrants. During a PLPRWF membership tea on Wednesday, April 17 at the historic Point Loma Assembly, 3035 Talbot St., District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis spoke on “Important Citizen Updates” and introduced Justus as the SDCFRW scholarship winner.
