RISMedia is excited to announce its 2022 list of Real Estate Newsmakers. This year’s honorees are a dynamic group of individuals who experienced a truly unique set of circumstances in 2021: they navigated the peaks and valleys of challenges that lingered from the ongoing pandemic while also riding the wave of a low-inventory-induced market frenzy to a new crest. Through it all, this year’s honorees stood out for making news for their positive contributions to the consumers and communities they serve.
RISMedia’s 2022 Real Estate Newsmakers include more than 300 industry members and are showcased in the February 2022 issue of RISMedia’s Real Estate magazine and in an online directory on RISMedia.com, in the following categories: Achievers, Crusaders, Futurists, Influencers, Motivators, Luminaries, Trailblazers and Trendsetters.

“From records being broken, to the glass ceilings being shattered and the creativity and technology innovation being implemented through our changing times, to the always-inspiring and wonderful charitable work being done across the nation, we continue to be amazed by the incredible ingenuity and success of the professionals in the real estate community, over 300 of whom we are celebrating in our fifth year of honoring Real Estate Newsmakers,” said John Featherston, CEO, president and publisher of RISMedia. “Once again, we are proud to recognize the hard work, dedication and determination of real estate’s finest professionals—the 2022 Real Estate Newsmakers—who went above and beyond in 2021 amid the challenges and opportunities of this historic market.
