Announcing the 2024 RESO Award Winners

The Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) is happy to present its latest RESO Contributor Award and Leading Edge Award winners. This year’s winners were announced at the RESO 2024 Spring Conference in Birmingham, Alabama.

RESO Contributor Awards are given for outstanding contributions in a RESO workgroup, while Leading Edge Awards are presented for industry leadership in supporting RESO standards like Web API adoption and RESO educational courses like the Working with Real Estate Data – Business Module (wwRED), which confers the RED-B designation.

The wwRED course continues to see high counts of completions by professionals working in brokerage, technology and Multiple Listing Services (MLS) and has recently surpassed 1,000 students.

The RESO Web API, built upon open standards used in fields beyond real estate, represents a modern data transport that will continue to aid growth and creativity in property technology.

“These annual awards are a way for us to acknowledge that we greatly appreciate what our volunteer members do to advance the real estate industry,” said RESO CEO, Sam DeBord. “It is not lost on us that these leaders are putting in extra time and resources to create better technology standards.”
