Do Your REALTOR® Awards Always Go to the Same Agents?

How does your committee choose award winners today? If the honest answer is "we talk it over," the same agents may keep winning, and the members you most need to reach may have stopped nominating. 👇 In this webinar, Reviewr shows REALTOR® associations how to open award criteria, nominations, and judging to every member, not just the ones already in the room. It's framed through Review Integrity, five questions every award process should be able to answer, and works through practical moves on both the nomination side and the judging side. It's built for REALTOR® associations, but it applies to anyone running awards, scholarships, or grants. What you'll see: ✅ Why half of NAR's suggested REALTOR® of the Year criteria center on association activity, and what that means for newer members ✅ Why the members you need to engage are often the newest, as the typical REALTOR® now has 13 years in the business ✅ Four ways the same agents keep winning: hidden criteria, tenure-only categories, nominations by who you know, and judges who know every nominee ✅ What it costs: a shrinking nomination pool, members who feel unseen, and decisions that are hard to defend ✅ Why now: forms get set this fall, nominations typically open January 1, and judging only picks from the pool you built ✅ How to publish your criteria and weights before nominations open ✅ How to give each award a different job, from Rookie of the Year to Good Neighbor to Affiliate of the Year ✅ How to open the nomination door wider with self-nominations, letters of support, and eligibility checked up front ✅ How to keep brokerage conflicts out of the scoring ✅ How to give every judge the same scorecard and watch the spread ✅ How to keep a record of how each winner was chosen ✅ A five-question self-check, plus answers on small programs, websites, setup, and judges who aren't techie Plus a live demo inside Reviewr, including: 🎥 The NAR 30 Under 30 nomination flow, linked from the association's own website 🎥 A short nominator form that hands off to a full nominee application 🎥 Eligibility questions that stop ineligible nominees before they do the work 🎥 Letters of recommendation submitted directly by references, with automated invites and reminders Timestamps: 0:00 Welcome and about Reviewr 2:45 Today's agenda 4:00 Poll: how does your committee choose award winners? 5:30 What the numbers say: NAR's suggested criteria and a 13-year typical tenure 6:45 Four ways the same agents keep winning 9:15 The cost: your nomination pool shrinks 10:00 The cost: members feel unseen 11:00 The cost: decisions are hard to defend 11:45 Why now: the road to a January 1 launch 13:45 Review Integrity: five questions every award process should answer 19:15 Nominations: publish criteria and weights before nominations open 20:00 Nominations: give each award a different job 21:00 Nominations: open the nomination door wider 22:15 Nominations: check eligibility up front 22:45 Judging: keep brokerage conflicts out of the scoring 23:15 Judging: same scorecard for every judge, and watch the spread 24:15 Judging: keep a record of how each winner was chosen 24:45 Self-check: five questions for your program 25:15 Common questions: small programs, websites, setup, and non-techie judges 26:45 Live demo: the NAR 30 Under 30 nomination and nominee application 30:30 What to expect from a meeting 31:15 Q&A and wrap-up When every member can see what an award is for, how it's judged, and that the judges don't know whose entry they're scoring, more agents nominate and the same names stop winning by default. 🔗 Book a demo: https://calendly.com/reviewrsoftware/... #REALTORS #RealtorAssociation #AwardsProgram #AssociationManagement #MemberEngagement #Reviewr
