SAN DIEGO, CA - The San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) has announced
Drew Burks, Broker and Owner of San Diego based Dream Design Realty, the winner of the prestigious 'Broker of the Year' award. The award was announced Saturday, January 10 at the Annual Installation Dinner held at the US Grant hotel with over 350 of San Diego's leading Brokers, Agents, committee members and Real Estate industry administrators in attendance.
The San Diego Association of Realtor Awards Selection Committee began the rigorous nominee process last September which culminated in a 5 person panel interview with the remaining two finalists. The Broker of the Year award is measured on several professional industry benchmarks including: leadership; Real Estate education; recruiting, counseling and
training and previous awards and recognition.
"In addition to Drew's outstanding professional qualities, he also manages to keep his principles in the right order. Drew is committed to providing educational opportunities for his Agents and investing in their long-term success. Quality over quantity and the primary importance of the Agent's family wellbeing versus their production struck me as truly unique in this industry and, for me, what made Drew the ideal choice for Broker of the Year," says Eric Hildenbrand, SDAR Award Selection Committee.
Burks was a previous nominee for the 2008 2nd Annual Most Admired CEO award and proudly serves on the I.T. and Education Committees for the San Diego Association of Realtors as well as Sandicor's STUG Telecommunications Committee.
About Dream Design Realty
In 2005, Broker, Owner and internet entrepreneur Drew Burks opened the doors to Dream Design Realty (ddR), a non-traditional brokerage firm located in San Diego. In 2008, Burks saw an opportunity in the marketplace to eradicate the typical agent/broker commission split structure and developed a unique $6,000 Annual Commission Cap business model that allows agents the freedom to retain 100% of their commissions. ddR also works with their team of agents virtually, saving on costly overhead and ancillary corporate fees. In addition to the well-received commission cap business model and saved operations costs, Burks further distinguishes Dream Design Realty from traditional firms by partnering with Kari Burks Interior Design, a design firm that provides complimentary consultations to ddR buyers and sellers at low discounted rates to the Realtor to assist in the sale or purchase of new properties.
