Mission and Purpose

This annual award seeks to highlight, inspire, and perpetuate the individual contributions within the real estate industry toward improving the livability of Hoosier cities and towns, as well as financially support the non-profits that exist to do the same.

Award

A $5,000 one-time award to the 501(c)(3) non-profit with which the Indiana REALTOR® Good Neighbor is involved.

Nominees must be members in good standing of the National Association of REALTORS®, the Indiana Association of REALTORS®, and have primary membership with a local Indiana board or association of REALTORS®.

Some portion of the nominee’s work must have taken place within the 12 months prior to the nomination deadline, which is July 1.
This award is intended to recognize individuals, not associations or companies.
