AWARD CRITERIA: Recipients of these awards should be individuals who have made outstanding contributions to NABOR, Florida REALTORS®, NAR and the image of the REALTOR® and Real Estate Profession. The task force should exercise broad discretion in making decisions.
Primary consideration should be given to outstanding contributions and accomplishments of the individual during the past three years with secondary consideration given to accomplishments and contributions made over a lifetime.
In addition, the task force should always consider individuals whose continued and consistent service over an extended period of year’s merits recognition while no single accomplishment or contribution during the period has been sufficient to warrant the award.
Criteria taken into consideration for judging should be as follows:
• Lifetime contribution to the Board (more than 3 years of service).
• Recent contributions to the Board (the past 3 years of service).
• Business and Community Contributions.
• Florida REALTOR® Contributions
• NAR Contributions
Former REALTOR® of the Year recipients are not to be considered for the same award which they have received in the past.
PAST RECIPIENTS: Nick Bobzien (2024), Ryan Bleggi (2023), Corey McCloskey (2022), Rick Baranski (2021), Paula Angelopoulos Urbinati (2020)
