Now in its 30th year, ‘The Nationals’ is the country’s largest competition for new home sales and marketing professionals. There were some 800 entries in this year’s contest. Gaye Orr, a Master in Residential Marketing and the 2011 Nationals Chair, said, “With all the challenges our industry has faced this past year, it’s wonderful to recognize our peers for their ingenuity, foresight and commitment.”
