Local Real Estate Broker is Recognized for his Achievement


Fargo, ND (Grassroots Newswire)- Jim McCreary, of Realty Executives North Plains, was honored as Broker/Owner of the Year on January 17th at Realty Executives Midwest Annual Holiday Gala. The award is presented to one individual in the Midwest Region of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. McCreary was selected by the Realty Executives Regional Office because he is a proven company leader who is not only dedicated to each and every client that he works with, but also to the strong organization that Realty Executives North Plains has built in Fargo.


Each of the Realty Executives Midwest offices also announced a new award that was presented to individual Executives at the Holiday Gala. The Most Valuable Executive Award was presented to an individual who didn't necessarily have the best sales for 2208, but the person who exemplified all of the characteristics that separates Executives from agents. Great Plains believed that not one person could be chosen over another, so their award went to all of the owners of Realty Executives Great Plains. "We have an awesome group of Executives and It's been my pleasure being their Broker," McCreary stated.
