Realtor® of the Year Award

Nominations for Realtor® of the Year

The Realtor® of the Year Award is the greatest honor bestowed upon a Realtor® by their peers at the state level. The award recognizes a Realtor® for meritorious contributions to the advancement of their profession and the real estate community at large.

The purpose of the Award is to: recognize outstanding Realtor® members of our Association for the effort and work expended in the interest of their fellow Realtors®, their profession, and the real estate community at large; demonstrate the outstanding work done by Realtors® to the general public; identify those Realtors® best suited for leadership positions; and foster a spirit of camaraderie among those who are in a position to do much of the productive work in local associations/boards, the state association, and the national association.
