With a network of nearly 12,600 affiliated sales professionals, associates nominated their broker and sales associate peers who have proven to demonstrate exceptional leadership, superior service, and business excellence among four notable categories: Marketing, Community Involvement, Technology, and P.A.I.G.E., the brand’s core values, which stand for Passion, Authenticity, Inclusion, Growth and Excellence.
