Do you know a REALTOR® who not only helps people buy and sell houses but also serves the community through volunteer work? The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) is currently accepting applications for REALTOR® Magazine’s Good Neighbor Awards from REALTORS® who have made an impact on the world through community service. To be eligible, nominees must be NAR members in good standing.
“REALTORS® not only play a significant role in helping their clients achieve the American Dream; they are making communities across our country better places to live,” says NAR President William E. Brown. “Over the last 17 years, more than 170 Good Neighbors have been recognized for their outstanding efforts to reach out and help others.”
Five winners will be announced in the November/December issue of REALTOR® Magazine, and will receive a $10,000 grant for their nonprofit organizations. The winners will also be recognized at the 2017 REALTORS® Conference & Expo in Chicago, receive travel expenses to the conference, and gain considerable national and local media exposure for their cause. In addition to the winners, five honorable mentions will each receive a $2,500 grant.
The Good Neighbor Awards are supported by primary sponsor realtor.com® and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.
“We are extremely proud to support the Good Neighbor Awards as a celebration of everything that is special about the real estate industry and to all of us at realtor.com: providing unparalleled, meaningful service; enhancing local communities; and building relationships that last a lifetime,” says Luke Glass, executive vice president of realtor.com. “The impact of the Good Neighbors’ volunteer work is staggering. They are an example to us all.”
