The Atlanta REALTORS Association hosted its highly anticipated annual Top Producers Awards Gala at the Cobb Galleria Centre on March 16th. REALTORS from across Atlanta gathered to honor the outstanding achievements of their peers in a night filled with glamour and celebration.
 
Against the backdrop of the majestic Cobb Galleria Centre, attendees adorned in their finest attire came together to acknowledge the remarkable successes of the past year. Despite the dynamic challenges of the housing market, 2023 proved to be a year of triumph for many within the industry. This year's gala marked the 65th anniversary of the event, a testament to its enduring significance within the real estate community.

Amidst music, dance, and camaraderie, attendees reveled in the accomplishments of their colleagues, making the evening truly memorable. The ARA remains steadfast in its commitment to recognizing excellence and celebrating the achievements of its members.

Kelly Thrash, the 2024 President of the Atlanta REALTORS® Association, expressed the significance of being named a Top Producer, stating, "Receiving recognition as a Top Producer from the Atlanta REALTORS® Association is a significant milestone, symbolizing excellence and dedication, as it places individuals within the esteemed Top 10% of our profession."

Recognition as a Top Producer of the Atlanta REALTORS® Association is awarded based on a total gross production of at least $5 million in volume or a minimum of 15 total units of production. In 2023, the Association received over 1,250 applications and honored a total of 147 first-time recipients.
