|
|
Take a moment to learn a little bit more about the
2021 Positive Impact Award Recipients; Sylvia Muzzy, Trina Eastwood, and Mercy Boatright, and why they were nominated and presented this prestigious award.
Sylvia Muzzy, 2021 Positive Impact Award Recipient
“Sylvia is very involved in her community. She is the current Board Chair for the Scheib Mental Health Center in San Marcos, TX. She is also a Board Member with Head-to-Toe, a San Marcos community organization that sponsors families with back-to-school essentials. She has also served or currently serves on the San Marcos Lions Club, SMHS Band Booster, San Marcos Rotary Club, and the SMCISD DEIC Member. She has also run for public office, running for SMCISD School Board Trustee in 2021. Sylvia can always be found with a smile on her face and willing to go the extra mile for her clients. She was born and raised in San Marcos, is a SMHS and Texas State graduate, and is a very well-respected member of the community. In a very short period, she has built an admirable clientele and consistently acts in a professional manner. She has also produced You Tube Channel for her clients, interviewing various real estate partners, such as title and lending experts, to share with her clients.” – Anonymous Member
Trina Eastwood, 2021 Positive Impact Award Recipient
“When you think about someone who has impacted the lives of not only REALTORS but their community, Trina comes to mind. Trina's high standard for herself as a REALTOR comes out through her professionalism and high standards. As a Four Rivers Association Board Member she is keeps them on tract with policy and procedures. Trina also gives back to her community of Seguin, TX by serving young ladies by being involved in the Seguin Debutante Program. Beating breast cancer this year she has impacted many by her positive attitude. Thank you for considering Trina and I hope she has impacted your life in some way as well.” – Anonymous Member
Mercy Boatright, 2021 Positive Impact Award Recipient
“Tremendous ethical leader and servant of the community. It is an absolute understatement to say that Mercy is the most ethical REALTOR I have seen in my life. She will always lean far into the side of making sure the client’s interest is the focus. In addition, she pours herself, again and again into the community, evidenced right now by her relentless pursuit of giving away 500 turkeys and fixings to the community in need, especially after our days surviving the COVID economy. She gives to all organizations in this community. Mercy is the best and should be recognized for her energy, integrity, ethics, and selfless service to her House Hunters Team, the community, to her family, and to anyone who ever asks anything of her.” – Anonymous Member
