REALTOR® of the Year
REALTOR® of the YEAR is nominated by other REALTORS®. The candidates are those who are viewed by their peers as an excellent example for others to follow. They are members who have had an impact on our Association and our community, someone respected and admired and often called upon for guidance. Each year, nominated candidates are presented to the last five winners of the award and the current award winner is selected by that same panel. Shown below are the previous REALTORs® of the Year.
