Professionalism

Sometimes what is considered professional or unprofessional is a bit subjective, so the BRR Communications Advisory Group developed the following Pro Tips (adapted from NAR’s Pathways to Professionalism) to help clear up any confusion.

BRR’s Professionalism Award is an impartial, peer-to-peer based program that recognizes REALTOR® members for their professional and ethical behavior during transactions. BRR REALTOR® members are able to nominate BRR REALTOR® members for outstanding professionalism using the simple form below, at anytime throughout the year.

Recipients of BRR’s Professionalism Award may also be considered for the Code of Ethics Leadership Award! This award is presented annually to recognize one REALTOR® member who exemplifies what it means to abide by the Code of Ethics, in their dealings with clients and customers, the public, and other REALTORS® and real estate professionals.

How does the program work?

1. BRR REALTOR® members can nominate their peer for outstanding professionalism using our simple survey if the following requirements are met:
   • Both nominator and nominee must be active BRR REALTOR® members;
   • Nominating member must have completed a transaction with the nominee in the last six months.
2. After a nomination has been made, the last three agents the nominee completed a transaction with will be emailed a link to a questionnaire to rate the nominee.
3. Nominees who receive high marks from their peers will be recognized.

The Professionalism Award will be awarded on a quarterly basis in March, June, September, and December.

Recipients will receive recognition on BRR’s website, boirealtors.com, and on the association’s social channels. They will also be emailed a digital marketing package that they can use to promote their business. This digital marketing package will include:

• A personalized graphic that can be used on social media, website, email signature, and wherever they market their business, as long as it is not modified in any way.
• Text copy with a title for the award that the recipient can use on resumes, social media, websites, email signatures, and other marketing materials as long as it is not modified in any way.

Who can nominate?

Active BRR members are welcome to submit nominations of fellow BRR REALTORS® with whom they have completed a transaction within the last six months.

Who can be nominated?

REALTORS® that are active BRR members who have completed at least three transactions with a year.
