REALTORS® step up. They’re problem solvers. They’re stop-talking-about-it-and-start-doing-it types. This issue is dedicated to the real estate professionals who are turning gratitude into action.

Each year, the National Association of REALTORS® Good Neighbor Awards spotlights great exemplars of that can-do spirit. Through the Good Neighbor Awards, we recognize and support the works of 10 honorees each year.

Plus: President Elizabeth Mendenhall reflects on the power of giving and gratitude, meet the 2018 Good Neighbor Honorable Mentions, learn what the 20% Business Income Deduction means for independent contractors, how a little creativity can bring awesome results to your promotional efforts, and more.
