What better way to do that than to honor the Top 20 Rising Stars in Real Estate,” said Eyston Perez, LIBOR YPN Chair. “The recipients of this award have demonstrated not only amazing sales ability but have also volunteered their time to serve on various REALTOR® Association committees and attend crucial industry events like NYSAR Lobby Day in Albany. Though newer to the industry, they have displayed great leadership and an extraordinary level of community service. Congratulations to all.”
Over two hundred guests at the awards ceremony also celebrated Mark Donnelly, LIBOR President-Elect and a founding member of LIBOR YPN, who was presented with the Visionary Award in recognition of his unwavering mentorship and steadfast support for the network since its inception. The night also shone brightly on Eyston Perez, who was honored with the Heart and Soul Award for his dynamic leadership and tireless dedication as Chair of the 2024 YPN Committee.
The event was made possible through the support of prominent sponsors, including OneKey® MLS, Liberty National Title, and Flor Cawley of State Farm.
