INTRODUCING RISMEDIA’S 2023 REAL ESTATE NEWSMAKERS

RIDING THE WAVES OF CHANGE

For real estate professionals, resilience and innovation were imperative to survive 2022’s precipitous shift in market conditions. What’s more, despite the many challenges and obstacles suddenly thrown in their path, many found ways to not just survive but thrive.

In RISMedia’s sixth annual Real Estate Newsmakers showcase, we spotlight some of the industry’s most dynamic individuals for their accomplishments and contributions to their companies, colleagues and clients, and to the larger cause of expanding homeownership. Nominated by you, our readers, these more than 300 individuals represent real estate champions of all kinds—brokers, agents, executives, technologists, educators, etc.—because successful outcomes depend on the many, not just the few at the top.

Our 2023 Real Estate Newsmakers are a shining example of not letting market conditions dictate the future, but taking control of your own story instead. Congratulations to our 2023 Hall of Fame and to all of our Newsmaker honorees. We are grateful for your leadership and inspired by the example you set.

CHUCK POTEET - TRAILBLAZER AWARD

Striking out on your own is one of the hardest things to do. At the beginning of 2022, Chuck Poteet took that leap, moving from a major brand to start his own company. His success, and really the validation of his vision for a better real estate company was when 95% of his agents stuck with him through the transition, with that notoriously difficult process taking less than six months. With the dream of independence, and creating a company that is truly service-oriented and aims to treat both agents and clients like heroes, Poteet used 2022 to set an example for anyone else who hopes to venture forward with their own vision.

“Over the past 38 years it been the satisfaction of serving people. Being a REALTOR® is not just a career, but an opportunity to make other people’s lives better,” he says. “Our new PRG purpose is to add value to our agents, so they can add value for their clients!”
