2020 Awards Recipients
It brings us great joy to showcase the 2020 Award recipients!
Traditionally, the Virginia REALTORS® association announces award recipients annually at the Annual Convention and the special ceremony celebrates excellence in various areas of real estate including property management, brokerage, and other business achievements along with notable community contribution. Due to COVID-19, we had to be a little flexibile in honoring these incredible members and went virtual!
On Wednesday, September 30, Virginia REALTORS® announced our 2020 award recipients during an interactive virtual awards ceremony.
If you missed out on the event, you can check out the full replay here.
