Grants & Awards

The Salt Lake Board of Realtors® loves to recognize our members for the amazing work they do on behalf of their clients and their communities. From helping a first-time homebuyer get into their dream house to dedicating time and resources to charitable causes – they make us proud!


SERVICE AWARDS (click to collapse/expand)
Service Awards nominations/applications will be accepted through October 20. Winners will be announced at the Holiday Social on December 8. Please no self-nominations. Past award recipients do not qualify. All award recipients are featured in the Salt Lake Realtor® Magazine and in local newspapers.


REALTOR® OF THE YEAR
The winner of this prestigious award is selected by a committee comprised of the past five recipients of the award. Selection is not determined by sales volume, but rather by dedication and commitment to serve and give back to the real estate profession and community. Considerations for recipient selection may include service and involvement in local, state, and national Realtor® associations, community and civic involvement, and other areas of service to the real estate profession. Past recipients do not qualify and cannot be nominated.


GOOD NEIGHBOR
Up to three individuals may be selected as Good Neighbor Award winners, recognized for dedicating their time and effort to the community or a charitable endeavor. In this, the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® is echoing the approach taken by the National Association of Realtors®, which selects five Good Neighbor recipients each year. Many of our members do tremendous work in the community, and we want to recognize as many as possible!


AFFILIATE OF THE YEAR
This award winner is selected by the past five recipients of the award. It focuses on outstanding affiliates who are actively engaged in the Board and in their communities. Considerations for recipient selection may include years in the industry, committee service, event attendance, sponsorships, and overall contribution to the real estate industry.


DISTINGUISHED SERVICE
There are two ways to receive the Distinguished Service Award.
  • Apply using a points system. Obtain 50 points throughout the year for Board participation and service. (Applications due by Oct. 20.)
  • Automatically receive the award (no application process) by becoming an RPAC Major Investor. Make a one-time investment of $1,000 or several smaller investments throughout the year (totaling $1,000). Investments must be made by November 15 to be counted for the award.

REALTOR® 500 AWARDS
There is no application process for this award. The Realtor® 500 is an invitation-only event, which is given to Realtors® who are primary members in good standing of the Salt Lake Board. Recipients of this award are taken from the top 500 Realtors® based on gross sales volume and as reported on UtahRealEstate.com. Sales not included on Utahrealestate.com are not included. Sales are counted for the primary buyer’s/seller’s agent under which they are reported. Such members must not have had a recent and serious Code of Ethics or Division of Real Estate violation that calls into question that persons integrity, honesty or character. Such determinations are at the sole discretion of Board leadership. The top 500 member-agents will be notified at the beginning of February. Award recipients will be featured in Salt Lake Realtor® Magazine and in local newspapers.

HALL OF FAME
Members who qualify for the Realtor® 500 may also receive the Hall of Fame Award. There are two ways to qualify:

  • Automatically receive the award (no application process) by becoming an RPAC Major Investor. Make a one-time investment of $1,000 or several smaller investments throughout the year (totaling $1,000). Investments must be made by December 31 to be counted for this award.

AMERICAN DREAM GRANT
The Salt Lake Board of Realtors® Charity Committee started the American Dream Grant in 2019, because homeownership matters! These American Dream Grants ($7,500 each) help first-time homebuyers with their down payments. The Salt Lake Board is proud to help members of our community achieve the dream of homeownership.
