We're honored to share that The Borg Group has earned Downing-Frye Realty's Mid-Year 2026 Platinum Award, recognizing top sales production across the first half of the year.

Downing-Frye Realty is one of Southwest Florida's most established brokerages, and the Platinum Award marks its highest tier of production recognition. For us, this one means something specific: it was earned in a market that demanded sharper pricing, stronger negotiation, and more hands-on management of every transaction than we've seen in years.

What made the first half of 2026 different

Southwest Florida's market rewarded preparation this year. Sellers who priced to current pending sales — not last season's closings — moved their homes. Buyers who came in with clear strategy and full financing pictures won negotiations. The transactions behind this award came from exactly that work: honest pricing conversations, marketing built for how buyers actually search today, and a contract-to-close process that kept deadlines from ever becoming problems.

We split that work the way we always have. Mark leads sales, showings, and negotiations in the field. Dawn runs marketing, operations, and every file from contract to close. It's why nothing slips — and it's why so many of the closings behind this award were repeat clients and referrals.

Thank you

To every client who trusted us with a purchase or sale in the first half of 2026 — thank you. Awards are how the industry keeps score, but referrals and repeat clients are how we do. This recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us.
