For the 5th consecutive year the Miami Association of Realtors has won the NAR Platinum Award for Global Achievement.

The Platinum Award is the highest honor awarded by NAR, and Miami is the only city to win this award continuously since its creation in 2011. Winners are selected based on their communication, outreach, member value, education and media publicity. 

Miami has 136 international partnerships that help publicize the South Florida market. Out of the 110 global councils selected, only 17 were named Platinum Councils in 2015. In addition, NAR awards gold and silver distinctions to other prominent real estate associations. Jupiter-Tequesta-Hobe Sound Association of Realtors (JTHS), which merged with Miami in September, received gold status.

John Dohm, Miami’s 2015 chairman, congratulated his team for allowing for the continuous progress of Miami’s success in real estate.

“Being named a Platinum Council for the fifth consecutive year exemplifies our commitment to international business expansion and excellence,” Dohm said.“South Florida is the nation’s leading destination for international homebuyers and investment. Through our Realtor education, media relations and member outreach departments, Miami is focused on helping its 41,000-plus members capture a larger share of the global real estate market.”
