FilAm NY Realtor honored as one of 2009 Women Achievers

(NJ, April 15, 2009) Jersey City-based Pan American Concerned Citizens Action League, Inc. recently honored Corazon Rivera, corporate head of Bona Tierra Realty which specializes in Manhattan's finest apartments. She is one of PACCAL's 2009 Women Achievers Awardee in Business. Bona Tierra's expertise ranges from condominiums and cooperatives, furnished to unfurnished, short-term to long-term, in pre-war, brownstones, townhouses, or modern-living arrangements.

Corazon Rivera has a business acumen that few can match. Bona Tierra Realty, a well established business in Manhattan which Corazon and her family established in 1988 seems to be unaffected by the current economic crisis, in fact their sales remain stable. Bona Tierra's clienteles list the who's who in Manhattan including Broadway stars, well-known mainstream singers and actors. Her success stems from hard work, dedication, perseverance and persuasiveness. She seems to have the sixth sense of sizing up a prospective client, whether a client is serious in buying or not.

At a very young age, Corazon learned the rudiments of selling and marketing strategies. She already showed signs of promising businesswoman while still in college. Amiable and sociable, she uses her charm and wit in dealing with prospective clients to be able to close a deal. A natural go-getter, she loves challenges. When she came to the United States, she landed at John Hancock, an insurance company where she was able to prove her worth that the company processed her working visa. In 1989, her perseverance paid off when she was recognized as Avatar Development's top agent. Her outstanding record in sales was duly recognized by her peers through numerous awards and citations like the Golden Circle Award in 2007 and the Extell Development Award in 2008.

Corazon Tamargo Rivera, Women's Achiever Awardee for Business has a solid reputation as a mother, a community supporter and a friendly ally to her colleagues.
