Rise & Shine. 

That’s the theme of this year’s REALTORS® Conference & Expo being held in San Diego November 12-15, 2021. 

The annual event, always compelling and a must-attend for real estate professionals, will be even more special because it’s the first time we’ll be able to network, learn, and see one another – and maybe even share a hug or two – since the start of the pandemic. 

We’re in the EverGreen Award home stretch. 

We will be accepting nominations until July 31st, and we’ll pick this year’s winners at the start of August. 
 
The award is the Green REsource Council’s way to recognize you – GRC members – who are doing the hard day-to-day work to make green a part of your business model, bring clients into the fold and introduce green concepts to your community. 

When Deidre "Dee" Omahen, GREEN, of KW Atlantic Partners Southside, Ponte Vedra, FL, toured a LEED-certified building in Chicago about 20 years ago, it sparked a passion for learning about green buildings and green living.
