The award honors the most active Realtor associations working internationally. The fifth-year-in-a-row win allows Florida Realtors to apply for Diamond status next year.
SAN DIEGO – The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) honored Florida Realtors® with a Platinum Global Achievement Award for its activity in developing and promoting the state’s international real estate market. It’s the fifth year in a row that Florida Realtors has achieved the honor.
It also qualifies Florida Realtors to apply for the highest honor awarded by NAR next year, the Global Diamond Award. If successful, Florida would be the first state association in the U.S. to receive the Diamond Award.
“Florida Realtors’ Global Business Committee’s goals are to provide resources to our local global councils, promote Florida real estate to international buyers and provide a platform that helps Realtors engage and connect with real estate professionals all over the world,” says Christel Silver, CIPS, chair of the 2021 Florida Realtors Global Business Committee. “We’re excited about Florida Realtors’ continually expanding global program and are honored to be recognized by NAR.”
NAR’s Global Achievement Program Awards recognize the most active associations in global business. Among over 130 global business councils nationwide, each of these organizations has demonstrated “exceptional commitment to building members’ awareness of the global and multicultural business opportunities in their local markets.”
Participating councils are divided into four status classifications based on their level of activity: Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Councils are evaluated in five focus areas: Business Plan, Marketing & Communication, Events/Education, Outreach and Benchmarking.
“We’re very proud to have NAR recognize Florida Realtors with the Platinum Global Achievement Award, and we encourage members to join us,” says Florida Realtors Director of Global Business Maria Grulich, CIPS, AHWD. “At Florida Realtors, we work as a global family. The teamwork is amazing, and I applaud all the people who give their time and talent to make Florida Realtors’ international programs such a success. We encourage our members to join our global family. Global family teamwork is what makes us shine.”
