“This person’s stated purpose is to serve both his fellow man and his fellow REALTOR®,” said 2006 REALTOR® of the Year Larry Duncan as he introduced 2007 winner Ed Hardey. Hardey’s family surprised him as he received the REALTOR® of the Year honor at the Inaugural Sept. 6. Hardey’s acceptance speech was brief, but his list of accomplishments is long. Since being licensed in 1992, he has served on the Board of Directors, the Professional Standards Grievance Committee, and the Metrolist Board of Directors. He is currently chairman of the Metrolist Rules & Regulations Committee. Hardey also finds time to better his community and the world, donating time and resources to Craig Rehabilitation Hospital, a
hurricane-damaged library in Mexico, the Children’s Miracle Network and more. He has been in the Top Five in sales production since joining RE/MAX 3000. |
