Marie Schutt is the managing editor of Chicago Agent

This issue marks our eleventh annual Agents’ Choice Awards, and my second as managing editor. We had many exceptional nominees and finalists, and we were blown away by the enthusiasm and engagement we received from voters this year.

As usual, we announced our winners in style. Earlier this month, awards were handed out at our Agents’ Choice Awards party at Public House, where finalists and friends enjoyed beer, wine and passed appetizers.
In this issue, you’ll find a profile of every 2016 Agents’ Choice Award winner. Each brings a unique mix of skill, experience and business acumen to their role, and each is certainly deserving of the support and encouragement of their peers.

Well, let’s get to it – who did you vote Industry MVP? Who won Best Team? Read our cover story to find out!
