The Atlanta REALTORS Association Honors Outstanding Members at Annual Top Producers Gala

Thursday, March 31st, 2022

The Atlanta REALTORS® Association (ARA) held its annual Top Producers Awards Gala in person for the first time since 2019 and it was a grand celebration! The event was held virtually for the last two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Happy to be together again, REALTORS® from across Atlanta gathered at an Oscars-themed event to find out who would take home the honors. Despite the challenges of a changing housing market, 2021 was a prosperous year for many. This event marks 63 years of celebrating the very best in the Atlanta residential real estate market. Awards were given for the top producers in several categories. The event recognized the top 15% of Atlanta real estate professionals for achievements over the last year. Additionally, Phoenix awards were given to acknowledge members for multiple years of success in the industry.  

Honoring Atlanta's most dedicated and respected real estate professionals also honors the city that ARA serves. Both have demonstrated exceptional value and resilience amid the global and local tribulations of the past year. The achievements of ARA members this past year are a reflection of what sets the REALTOR® brand and its members apart as trusted advocates, capable of embracing change while relying on our core values, and ultimately serving our clients’ most important needs. ARA congratulates the Top 10 Producers and all our Phoenix award recipients! See the full list of recipients below (or click here for a printable version).
