Carolyn Pratt is Edmonton’s Realtor of the Year

The Realtors Association of Edmonton recently presented its highest honour, the Realtor of the Year Award, to Carolyn Pratt, an associate at Royal LePage Noralta Real Estate.

Pratt has been a Realtor since 1975. She was a member of the association’s Board of Directors from 2002-2008, serving as the president of the association in 2007. Pratt has also held seats on numerous committees including Audit, Member Services and Arbitrations and Professional Standards.

Throughout her career she has also held a seat on the Realtors Community Foundation and served on the Alberta Real Estate Association (AREA) Board of Directors and the Junior League of Edmonton. The association says Pratt has earned the respect and admiration of her fellow Realtors, which was evident on the evening of the awards ceremony by the “thunderous applause and standing ovation” she received.
