Sales Associate of the Year – Boris Perez, Lakeland



Congratulations to Boris Perez on being honored as Sales Associate of the Year! This particular agent always works with Adams Homes in mind and his buyers are always very receptive and trusting of him due to his knack for listening and knowing what they want. “Borris’s approach to problem-solving is always smooth and effective,” Said Misty Varner, Sales Manager. “With Boris’s talent and problem-solving, I’ve never had to step in.” Boris is known as the person always willing to go the extra mile. For instance, Boris offered to drive to Miami to pick up a check for closing from an older gentleman who had no way of wiring money, due to being in a nursing home, just to ensure he closed on time. This is not the first time Boris has driven to South Florida to pick up a check and help our buyers. Adams Homes recognizes Boris’s tenacity and willingness to do what it takes to get the job done and appreciate everything he does.
