I joined Coldwell Banker as an Agent in the Greater Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area in 1986 and enjoyed a very successful and satisfying career, consistently in the top 2 percent of the more than 11,000 agents in the region. I was the recipient of many distinguished honors from the "Rookie of the Year" and "Top Listing and Sales Agent" during most years. In 1995, I was recognized as the "Top Sales Agent - Closed Sales Transactions" by the Greater Pittsburgh Board of Realtors. The award I held dearest to my heart was the "Customer Service Excellence Award" which an award given to the No. 1 Agent who demonstrated outstanding service to his/her clients. My greatest enjoyment during my success in real estate is the satisfaction of my clients and my role in providing for their needs with the least amount of tension in their daily lives.

I joined Coldwell Banker in Sunset Beach as a REALTOR/Broker in 2005, desiring to be a part of a Coldwell Banker Affiliate in Brunswick County. Having enjoyed working with the people in the real estate business for so many years, the desire to continue in the Carolinas and our new home community with Coldwell Banker presented an outstanding opportunity for me. My experience and ability to help buyers and sellers in their real estate needs is an asset to my clients and Coldwell Banker. My love of the Coastal Carolina area and the people and the varying real estate environment presents me with the opportunity and challenge to realize the same enjoyment that I had during my working experience in the northern market.

In 2009 and 2010, I was the "Company Wide Top Producer for Closed Sales Agent" in the Coldwell Banker Sunset Beach Office and was also in the "Top 8 Real Estate Agents" in the Brunswick County MLS for 2010 which has a membership of more than 900 agents.

Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage provides the opportunity for expansion of my business on a team approach. I have formed "The Kozel Team" with real estate professionals having a common goal to collectively expand the real estate services for clients in southeastern Brunswick County.

In 2011, I was the "Top Coldwell Banker Realtor in Brunswick County" and the "Top 5 Real Estate Agents" in the Brunswick County MLS.
