The Greater Capital Area Association of REALTORS® is please to announce Susann Haskins as the 2006 REALTOR® of the Year. A REALTOR® for 20 years, Susann has spent her career expanding her knowledge through education, involvement in the association, and nose-to-the-grindstone hard work in her business.
As GCAAR's President in 2005, Susann launched the association's Community Service Committee and the GCAAR Cares initiative. Taking Susann's inspiration and drive for success, GCAAR Cares raised over $40,000 for Tsunami Relief efforts, over $14,000 for Katrina Relief, and participated in a number of community service activities last year, including Rebuilding Together, the Fannie Mae Walkathon, Adopt-An-Apartment, and Barrel of Books collection for literacy programs.
In addition to her work on the Board of Directors and Community Service, Susann has participated in a wide variety of GCAAR committees including Contract & Clause, Professional Development, REALTOR® Political Action Committee, and Public Policy.
Susann has earned four designations in her career: Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR); Certified Buyer Representative (CBR); Certified Residential Specialist (CRS); and Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI); and is an active member of the national and state chapters of CRS. She is co-manager of Long & Foster's Potomac/Cabin John Office, and was a member of Long & Foster's "Founder's Club" for agents with annual sales of $10 - $20 million from 2002 - 2004.
REALTOR® of the Year recognizes members who have demonstrated exceptional service to their local, state and national REALTOR® Associations, and exemplary business conduct and practices, civic activity, and education.
