The REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® of the Year award is the highest award that can be obtained in this association among REALTOR-ASSOCIATES®. One must submit 25 closed MLS transactions in a 12-month period; they must have participated in Greater Rochester Association of REALTORS® & Women’s Council of REALTORS® events and activities in the past 12 months; be involved in the community; and have completed educational requirements. Along with all the other demands in a day, they still uphold the ethics and professionalism of our industry.
Last Friday night at the GRAR “Leadership and Awards Celebration of Excellence” dinner, the 2008 REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® of the Year award was presented to Andy Burke of RE/MAX Realty Group.
Andy began his real estate career in 2002. He was named Rochester’s “Rookie of the Year” in his first year in business. Since then, this RE/MAX Realty Group agent has won GRAR Sales Master or GRAR Sales Master Gold Awards. He is a member of RE/MAX International President’s Club.
Andy is a GENRIS Director and sits on the REALTORS® Charitable Foundation Board of Directors as well. His GRAR committee work includes being the Chair of the Industry Advocacy Committee. Community organizations also benefit from Andy’s participation including The Community Place of Greater Rochester, the American Lung Association of NY State and Linden Knoll, Inc. Congratulations Andy!
