Judging & Evaluation Process

The integrity of the Real Estate & Mortgage Vanguard Awards is upheld through a structured, independently administered evaluation process that ensures fairness, consistency, and professional credibility.

Each nominee is reviewed using objective criteria that may include:

• Production and transaction performance

• Professional reputation and conduct

• Leadership and organizational impact

• Client service and commitment

• Community involvement

• Innovation within the housing industry

Evaluation reflects both measurable results and the broader professional contributions nominees make to their clients, organizations, and communities.

Independence Matters

Recognition is based solely on established evaluation standards. Sponsorship participation, advertising relationships, or external affiliations have no influence on outcomes.

Weekly Real Estate News does not sell awards, and payment associated with nomination acceptance does not guarantee selection.

Our Commitment

Trust requires discipline. This program is administered to honor professionals in a way that reflects the seriousness of their work and the importance of the housing industry.

Because recognition carries value only when it is earned.

Nominations accepted between February 15, 2026 – May 31, 2026
