Chris

Knight, vice president of The Knight Group, told

the crowd that in the midst of an increasingly

competitive market, 1999 marked yet another

record-setting year, yet another award-winning

year for The Knight Group. Rhe firm sold more

than 250 homes in 1999, brought home another

professionalism award, and in a single community,

Biscayne Pointe, sold 118 homes.

He

said that 2000 has gotten off to a furious start

with more than 90 sales to date.

"As

we look into the next year, the next decade and

beyond, we are constantly evaluating our

policies, systems and priorities to ensure that

this family business continues to operate and

thrive as a world-class home builder," he

told the agents at the event.

"We

believe that our locations are some of the best

on earth, that our product is among the finest in

the industry, and that our resolution to be a

little better today than we were yesterday is

sure to set us apart in the market that you [the

agents] represent - that of the increasingly

sophisticated homebuyer."

The

Knight Group has a history going back to 1973,

when brothers Perry and Scott Knight started

framing houses for builders in the Southern

Crescent.

They

began their home building business in the late

1970s. Perry's son Jay joined the firm in 1982,

and Scott's son Chris joined the company in 1998.
