The Fredericksburg Area Association of REALTORS® (FAAR) held its annual Awards Gala on April 10, 2019 at the Fredericksburg Country Club. Approximately 130 members were in attendance for the festivities, which included an awards ceremony and fundraiser.
Proceeds from the fundraiser benefited the Fredericksburg REALTORS® Foundation, whose efforts go to support local non-profit organizations that help individuals and families secure and retain shelter. Thanks to donations from FAAR’s REALTOR® and affiliate members, the Foundation was able to raise over $1,200.
In addition to the Foundation fundraiser, awards were handed out for Rookie Salesperson of the Year, Manager of the Year, REALTORS® Choice, REALTOR® of the Year, Educator of the Year, and Melanie Thompson Award. In addition, 25 members were recognized for achieving the Professional Honor Role for 2018. The Professional Honor Role spotlights members who have made contributions to the real estate industry, the Association, and the community.
