Nominate a REALTOR® with a big heart

Do you know a REALTOR® with a heart of gold? A REALTOR® who continually volunteers his or her time, whether it's cooking for the homeless, organizing a fundraising event or donating time for a special cause?

If you know a REALTOR® who makes outstanding contributions to their community, nominate him or her for this year's Realtor's Care awards.

The REALTORS® Care Community Service Award program recognises REALTORS® who, through fundraising or volunteer activities, are active in the communities where they live and work.

"Real estate professionals have a longstanding tradition of generously supporting a variety of community causes," said Real Estate Board president Don Pearce. "It's important to recognise those who volunteer their time outside of the real estate industry to encourage their efforts and encourage others to get involved."

Submit a nomination, so we can know about the charitable work your REALTOR® has been doing!
