The votes are in and the winner is…John Harper of The Harper Mees Team.  The RMA, which meets in San Ramon every Thursday, recognized John Harper as the top realtor of the quarter.  John was genuinely surprised at the meeting today where he was presented with a plaque by Will Doerlich, president of the RMA.

According to Kris Viers, RMA Advisory Council member, each quarter the RMA Board of Directors chooses a Realtor and an affiliate to honor for their contributions to the organization, the real estate community and the community at large.  John was nominated because of his work with the RMA in getting the new website up and running (www.rmatoday.com) and for his interest and involvement with other organizations within the industry.  We know he's worked with the Women’s Council of Realtors / WCR (www.wcrccc.org) for example, in trying to get their website going as well.  John attends the RMA meetings on a pretty regular basis, is always upbeat and positive, and is the ultimate "networker" which is what RMA is all about.  He has done a lot to promote the Realtors' Marketing Association since he started attending - even before the website - and that has not gone unnoticed.  After he was nominated, the Board quickly finalized their decision to make John their choice as Realtor of the Quarter.

Having known John for all my life, this comes as no surprise to me.  John has been a true innovator in the use of technology over the years and his understanding of the Internet and marketing over the Internet is truly unique. Congratulations John!  Well Deserved!!!
