IBANS wants to hear about that exceptional individual…the one that impacted a client’s life so profoundly that they should be celebrated.

Therefore, we have adjusted the traditional criteria and format for this award category and are relying on the person nominating to identify how the individual they are acknowledging has exceeded their basic job description; how they have elevated the profession through their work or by example; and to be that individual who has gone above and beyond to serve their clients or support the industry - has truly given of themselves!

Please tell us about your brokerage champion and how they have demonstrated a level of commitment to their team, clients and community, so we can share their story with others.

We want to highlight those individuals and all that they bring to their communities and profession.
