March Coming In Like a Lamb?

March 1st...60+ degrees...sunny day...
Is that it? Is winter done? Is the spring selling season getting ready to kick off?

Probably not the end of winter...but with the tax credit set to expire in just about 90 days...the spring season is upon us.

More than 550 REALTORS and friends gathered for the annual Circle of Excellence Awards celebration Friday night.

Highlights of the evening included recognizing:

Affiliate of the Year - Karen Beamguard, First American Title
Rookie REALTOR of the Year - Mira Piva, Coey Barton Homes
Broker of the Year - Maurice Clifton, ERA West Wind
Code of Ethics Leadership - Mary Edith Hill, Hill Real Estate Agency
Darlene Manning Humanitarian Award - Carey Farmer, Group One
Distinguished Service Awards - two recipients for 2009
* John Knipe, Knipe Land Company
* Gary Salisbury - Symphony Homes

Honor Society - inducted one new Lifetime Member - Darlene Blakeslee, ERA West Wind

REALTOR of the Year - Cherie Barton, EXIT Realty (formerly Realty Executives of Treasure Valley)

We also recognized the amazing production abilities of almost 200 Circle of Excellence honorees. In the face of one of the most difficult markets ever, these folks found a way to continue to excel.

Saturday's Real Estate Section in the Statesman lists each member inducted into this lofty circle.

We all owe Judy McLaughlin, Darlene Blakeslee (this year's event Chair) and the entire COE Committee a huge "Thank You" for a wonderful evening.
