Celebrating Success

The Marco Island Area Association of Realtors (MIAAOR) has recognized top sellers for the last half of 2023 and the entire year with its Silver Dollar Awards. Their names were revealed recently at a general membership luncheon held at the Hilton Marco Beach Resort and Spa. 

The awards are presented by MIAAOR’s Realtor Support Network, the group of businesses that collaborates with realtors on programs and events that promote their success, including trade shows, scavenger hunts, “After Five” gatherings and charitable activities. 

Attending the event were representatives of support network members Bond, Shoeneck and King PLLC, Responsive Insurance, CrossCountry Mortgage, Robb and Stucky, Hilton Moving and Storage, FCI Homes, The Lykos Group, The Law Offices of William G. Morris, iTrip Vacations Marco Island, First American Title, New American Funding, Tenney Law PLLC, Vacasa, the Law offices of Ronald Webster, Hughes Exterminators and Gulf Coast Mortgage of Naples.

Rich Costante of Responsive Insurance announced the Silver Dollar Award winners. 

The luncheon also saw realtor Bette McGilvray, of Premiere Plus Realty, announce that two members had qualified for inclusion in the 2023 Florida Realtors Honor Society: Charlie Neal, of Anchor Real Estate, MIAAOR’s 2023 president, and 2024 President Geoff Fahringer, of Downing-Frye Realty.

She said the society recognizes realtors for their participation in initiatives that “make positive impacts on the local community, contributing to the betterment of our society. The cornerstone of the honor society membership includes education committee involvement, councils, societies, designations earned, community service, professional growth, and political activity.” 

As of March 2023, there were 216,493 registered realtors in Florida, but just 450 to 500 honor society members, said McGilvray. “So, it's truly prestigious to receive this award,” she added.
