For more than 38 years, RISMedia has provided the residential real estate industry with news, trends, and business development strategies through its flagship publication, website, blog, and networking and educational events. I’ve been a passionate follower of RISMedia for many years. The company’s invaluable real estate information and advice helps me to better navigate this industry and provide our clients with the best possible service.

My respect for RISMedia makes me especially proud of their recent recognition of me and my team. I was named a RISMedia 2019 Real Estate Newsmaker, which means, in their words, that I’m part of, “a dynamic group of key influencers making headlines as a result of their newsworthy contributions to the real estate industry, and their efforts to positively affect the consumers and communities they serve.”

Of the award, RISMedia CEO and Publisher John Featherston says, “In RISMedia’s Real Estate Newsmakers, you’ll find an inspirational overview of more than 230 industry leaders who are making a difference in the real estate and homeownership sectors, and whose actions have a far-reaching and profound impact on the real estate industry, from nationwide to their own local communities.”

This is an exciting acknowledgement for me; not only for the national connections it provides, but because it is an endorsement of my commitment to the Lamorinda community. The portion of the quotes above that I prize most are, “to positively affect the consumers and communities they serve,” and “profound impact on…their local communities.”

It’s no secret that I love Lafayette and all of Lamorinda. Now, as a result of this great award, my fellow real estate professionals across the U.S. will know it too.
