Hasson Broker reaches 3,000 Transactions Mark in His 30-Year Career, Attributes Success to Finding Niche
Date: January 17, 2008
Gene Buccola knows real estate. And after 30 years in the industry, he well indeed should! A real estate professional with The Hasson Company, Buccola recently reached the 3,000 transactions mark in his three-decade career, achieving a proud moment in his life and a rare feat within the industry.
Beginning his career in 1978 in Corvallis, Ore., Buccola cites the independence and diverse opportunities - from residential and relocation to commercial and development - as factors that first attracted him to the industry as well as what has helped him find his niche in the ever-changing real estate market.
"Our industry is constantly changing, and as I reflect over 30 years, the most positive changes have been technology and agency," says Buccola. "Both of which have given us better tools in which to perform our trade. The industry will always be in a state of change and change is healthy."
As his business developed, Buccola's expertise in residential real estate grew to include commercial real estate and investment properties from the Willamette Valley to the high desert areas of Bend and Redmond. He has worked with area land developers and builders by spearheading highly successful marketing and sales programs to promote new construction. His expertise has supported quality subdivisions throughout Oregon. Buccola is an expert at helping all types of clients - from first-time homebuyers and corporate transferees to builders, developers and commercial investors.
Buccola has achieved success over the course of his career and expanded the geographic region he covers from Central Oregon and mid-Willamette Valley to up and down the entire West Coast. Averaging approximately 100 transactions a year for the last 30 years, Buccola has assisted individuals, families and corporations throughout Oregon, Washington and California. Part of this success is a result of the team of professionals that have assisted Buccola in his efforts, including his two sons, Ryan and Tim, daughters Kelley and Molly, and wife, Cande.
In addition to his career as a Realtor, giving back to his community is also a priority for Buccola. He is a member of Arts Central of Bend, the Bend Chamber of Commerce, and the Economic Development for Central Oregon board, past president of the Board of Directors of Benton Hospice Service, board member of Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation, United Way and the Children's Farm Home in Corvallis, and Committee Member for "Puttin on the Pink", a Cancer Research Benefit to be held in Corvallis later this year.
"We are proud to have Gene on our team," says Mike Hasson, President and owner of The Hasson Company. "The qualities he possesses as an agent - professionalism, integrity, dedication, and commitment to his community - are what make The Hasson Company Realtors the most successful in the nation."
