Cover Story

The Agents’ Choice Awards are unlike any other awards because the winners are chosen by lenders, developers and agents in the industry. From Sept. 22 to Oct. 19, the entire real estate industry voted for peers and colleagues who they thought were most deserving of our awards, and this year we had the biggest voting turnout yet – over 12,000 votes were cast!
