Winners of the Emerald Coast Assoc. of Realtor of the Year Award, are based on things much more important than how many $$$ of real estate he or she closes. The recipients are recognized for their dedication to ECAR, their profession, and their community, and rightly so. The top selling Realtor isn't necessarily, though could be, the one who focuses on making a difference in a community. The top seller may be too focused on other things like making money, and may dedicate themselves fully to selling real estate. If you are good at what you do, and you do the "right" (just) things, for the right reasons, the business will follow. The members of ECAR voted on these awards, representing the six different Chapters of ECAR and an overall winner. To win is truly an honor. Congratulations, Garner. Thanks for being a leader in our community, and our industry of real estate. You represent everything a Realtor should be. That's a pretty cool-looking trophy.
