At the end of each calendar year, MAAR honors several REALTOR® members with awards at our annual banquet ceremony and holiday party. We choose a REALTOR® of the Year, give out our Exceptional Service Award, choose several worthy recipients for our Community Involvement Awards, and occasionally include a Presidents Award for distinguished service to the association that beckons recognition beyond what can fit into our traditional categories.
The REALTOR® of the Year award is given to a member who has exhibited great leadership in the profession and is actively involved in making important industry decisions on behalf of MAAR. Participation in the state and national associations is beneficial for qualifying, as is community and civic involvement.

The Presidents Award is not given out on an annual basis; rather, it is awarded to an outstanding MAAR member who deserves to be recognized for dedication to the association above and beyond elected capacity.

This award is not given out on an annual basis either, but we just had to find some way to recognize Aaron's work in the has given; rather, it is awarded to an outstanding MAAR member who deserves to be recognized for dedication to the association above and beyond elected capacity.
MAAR also spotlights members and offices that give back. If you would like us to recognize someone you know, a local office or—don't be shy!—yourself, please contact Amy Ransom at amyr@mplsrealtor.com or 952.988.3124 for more information. See how some of our members get involved...
