Description

The Excellence Awards recognize outstanding residential real estate professionals in the Denver metro area.

This form is used to submit your Excellence Awards application and collect eligibility and production information. Submission of this form does not register you for the awards ceremony and does not include event tickets.

Team Application Eligibility

IMPORTANT: If you are a team of two (2), please exit this application and apply under the Partnership Category.

• Minimum Production: $5 million or 10 sides, which is based on total gross sales (no commissions).
• The team lead(s) must be a Realtor® member (Primary or Secondary) in good standing of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors®.
• Teams consist of three (3) or more members.
• No more than 49% of the Team’s business is projects (new construction). If 50% or more of the business is projects, you must apply under the “Projects” category.
• The size of the team, and therefore the category, is determined by the number of licensed agents listed under the team. Applicants must submit a 2025 team roster. 
• Licensed support staff (i.e. assistants, transaction coordinators) must be identified on the roster and in REcolorado with their title and should not be included in team size number. 
• Licensed support staff, in order to be excluded from team count, must not have completed more than two (2) personal transactions in the calendar year 2025.
• As a team of three to five members, at least 75% of team members must be Realtor® members (Primary or Secondary) in good standing of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors®. 
• As a team of six or more, at least 80% of team members must be Realtor® members (Primary or Secondary) in good standing of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors®.  
• If a team does not meet this criterion, team members may apply to become members OR the team members who are current Association members may apply with only their production. Example: If a team of 20 applies but only 10 team members are current Association members, the best option is likely to get the other 10 to join; however, if that is not an option, then the 10 Association members may choose to apply with only their production. In this case, the team would be placed in the 16-25 team member category and compete with larger teams. This team would not be eligible to move to the 6-15 category.
• Participate in collective marketing with other agents, or as part of a team, that share responsibilities and expenses.
• If an employing/managing broker is a member of a team and all members of an office are also team members, that team can only apply as an office by category, not as a team.
• Note: Recognition will go to the Top Dollar Sale Production and Top Sides in the following categories, which represent the size of the team: 3-5 team members, 6-15 team members, 16-25 team members and 26+ team members.
• Team Application Eligibility Only Realtor® members (Primary or Secondary) in good standing of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors® are eligible to participate in the Excellence Awards.
