The Center for REALTOR® Technology (CRT) proudly introduces the 1st annual REALTOR® Technology Spotlight Award. It honors REALTOR® family members and their direct support staff who have shown excellence and a visionary use of technology. From you and your creative use of technology to the person who makes your Web site stand out ... this is an opportunity to celebrate!

The award goals are to:

1.       recognize those who have implemented, created or embraced technology in a way that shows understanding of the medium and therefore puts them in a 'best in class' category;

2.       disseminate innovative and effective strategies to accomplish this; and

3.       increase awareness within the real estate industry of technology trends and promote innovation.

These individuals set the technology benchmark for our industry, and provide one more reason why REALTORS® are better prepared to serve the consumer.
