2021 Four Rivers AOR Award Recipients
Broker & REALTOR® of the Year Recipient Spotlight
|
|
Take a moment to learn a little bit more about the
2021 Broker & REALTOR® Award Recipients; Heath Anders and Chelsea Roberts, and why they were nominated and presented these prestigious awards.
Heath Anders, 2021 Broker of the Year
Award Recipient
“Heath is the best example of what a Broker should be. My favorite thing about Heath is when he is needed, he answers his phone or gives his undivided attention to his office. He puts down his phone and turns away from his computer to listen attentively then brainstorms to help solve the problem. He has our back, always, and treats us all with dignity and respect, regardless of our production levels!" - Anonymous Member
"Great leader, ethical, highly involved in the community." - Anonymous Member
Chelsea Roberts, 2021 REALTOR® of the Year
Award Recipient
“When I think about what makes the REALTOR of the Year, a few things come to mind; one that has overcame obstacles, one that has given back to their Community and Association and one that wants to see others succeed more than themselves. More importantly one that has the a high ethical and moral values as a REALTOR. Chelsea’s loyalty and dedication to the organizations she is a part of shines light to anyone she knows. “ – Anonymous Member
“Chelsea has been instrumental in my real estate career; she sets the bar high with her ethical and moral conduct. She is always there to help and with her experience, there is so much to learn from her. She is an inspiration to many. I am not sure how she does it all.” – Anonymous Member
“She does so much for the board!” – Anonymous Member
