With a very busy real estate market, many REALTORS® have still found time to volunteer and give back to their communities. The commitments they have made are admirable and are appreciated not just by those who benefit directly from their actions, but also by their peers.

The REALTORS Care® Awards were created to recognize these REALTORS® for the contributions they have made throughout the year. Our REALTORS Care® Awards selection committee, an independent panel made up of people from charitable and government organizations, has chosen the nominees they felt made the most outstanding contributions in 2005.
