His vast real estate knowledge, experience, and leadership abilities make him a perfect fit,” said Denise Kinney, company president. “I’m so excited to support and mentor the agents and help them grow their business,” added Wagner. “Providing consistent training, cultivating knowledgeable professionals, and helping them overcome obstacles when they arise is my focus. I’m so excited for this new challenge.” Tim Milam, CEO of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage also commented on the addition of Wagner. “It is truly a pleasure to work with Al as he transitions to this new role. He is a proven leader and will work diligently to assist our agents in identifying their strengths, and provide opportunities for them to explore new and innovative ideas to grow their business.
