REALTOR® Magazine is seeking nominations for the 10th annual Good Neighbor Awards. The program recognizes REALTORS® who’ve made an extraordinary commitment to community service.

Five winners will be announced in November in REALTOR® Magazine and at the 2009 REALTORS® Conference & Expo in San Diego. The winners will receive a $10,000 grant for their community cause, national publicity, travel expenses to the convention and a crystal trophy.

“We created the Good Neighbor Awards to recognize REALTORS®’ efforts to make their communities a better place to live,” says Pamela Geurds Kabati, REALTOR® Magazine Editorial Director. “REALTORS® generally are big-hearted people and many of them get very involved in their communities, but their local efforts are seldom rewarded on a national level.”

Last year’s winners contributed a combined total of nearly 8,000 hours to their causes in one year and drew a standing ovation during NAR’s annual convention in Orlando. The 2009 Good Neighbor Awards is sponsored by eNeighborhoods, Homes.com and Lowe’s.

“We hope the magazine’s Good Neighbor Awards will inspire REALTORS® everywhere - a family of more than 1 million professionals - to give a little or a lot more to help improve the quality of life in their communities,” says Kabati. “This awards program is fundamentally about recognizing and encouraging the power of one person to really make a difference in the lives of others.”

Good Neighbor Award entries must be received by May 22, 2009. For more details and an entry form, go here and click on the Good Neighbor logo, or call 800-874-6500.
