Every year, the Austin Board of REALTORS® sets one night aside to celebrate the best and brightest in real estate at our annual Industry Awards Gala. This year’s gala will be held May 2 at Kalahari Resort, and I hope to see you there!
Following a year filled with market shifts and industry changes, our members have come out on the other side better than ever and it's our time to celebrate and shine! Alongside the Association, I’m thrilled to recognize some of our industry’s most talented and inspiring professionals during this special celebration.
Thirteen awards will be presented this year at the Enchanted Garden-themed soiree, including the Community Service Award, multiple Team Awards, and the coveted REALTOR® of the Year and Iconic Changemaker Awards. The Industry Awards Candidate Review Committee anonymously selected the 39 exceptional finalistslisted below. These individuals and teams were selected for their outstanding contributions, achievements, and professionalism.
Tickets for the 2024 ABoR Industry Awards Enchanted Garden Gala are available now at UnlockMLS.com/Celebrate. The event starts at 6 p.m. with a cocktail hour featuring drinks, light bites, and entertainment. Dinner, along with the unveiling of the 2024 winners, will follow at 7 p.m. You can expect a night filled with whimsical charm, lush décor, and elegance. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!
