Annual Awards and Recognition

PSAR recognizes one REALTOR®, Broker, and Affiliate each year for these prestigious awards. PSAR staff accept all anonymous nominations from anyone, and the names of individuals making nominations remain secret. The number of nominations does not create an advantage for nominees. Award recipients may not be the sitting President of PSAR and may not be past recipients of the specific award. Recipients are typically revealed at the REAL Awards Celebration.

Recognition Committee

Individuals in the following positions are invited to the Annual Recognition Committee meeting to select award recipients: the past recipient of REALTOR® of the Year, Broker Manager of the Year, and Affiliate of the Year, the Affiliate Director, members of the Association Council, the Chair of Professional Standards, and the Chair of the Grievance Committee. While all eligible members are invited to participate, a quorum is established by five attendees who have not been nominated for an award. Nominees may participate but must recuse themselves when their potential award is discussed. All qualified nominees are invited to the Annual REAL Awards celebration and have their names listed in the event program. At least one runner-up for each award is announced at the event.
