The Distinguished Real Estate Service Award

Each year the Greater Cincinnati Real Estate community looks to his/her peers in the industry to bestow the University of Cincinnati Distinguished Real Estate Service Award.

And each year the real estate community responds, with pen and paper, jotting down the reasons why he or she deserves such noteworthy recognition. They choose a professional who best exemplifies an entrepreneurial spirit and concern for their community.

The award is then presented at the Annual Real Estate Banquet held in June near the end of the school year. Call 556-7193 for this year's banquet information.
