Awards Criteria

Eligibility for Real Estate Achievement and Leadership Awards

Eligibility for the Real Estate Achievement and Leadership awards is based on 2023 sales closed by agents from a San Diego County REALTOR® Association. North San Diego County REALTORS® members are automatically considered using CRMLS data. Agents from other associations may become eligible by joining North San Diego County REALTORS® as a Secondary REALTOR® member. If you are a North San Diego County REALTOR® member and believe you meet the criteria but did not receive an email, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Award Criteria

Awards are based on the higher sales volume or units sold, recorded in the MLS in 2024. For listings in other MLS systems that share data with CRMLS, if any sales are missing, agents must submit proof of these transactions. Proof may also be required. Examples of proof could be a gross commission report or a MLS report.

Important Notes:

  • Only the lead agent is recognized for the award. Co-agents' sales are not included. 
  • A lead agent may have a team recognized instead. For team awards, the entire team is recognized instead of an individual. Teams receive the award collectively. See the subheading below entitled Teams and Applying for Team Awards.
  • Production credit is given only to the primary agent, as shown in the CRMLS.
  • All agents who belong to associations in San Diego County are included in the percentage ranking calculation.
