The Association of Saskatchewan Realtors (ASR), in conjunction with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC), has named Joanne Kerr of Re/Max Saskatoon the recipient of the 2015 Distinguished Realtor Award.
The award was presented by Earl Kotlar, manager of business development for CMHC for the Prairies and Territories at the ASR Quality of Life Legacy Gala recently.
“I had absolutely no idea this was happening,” says Kerr. “I’m delighted, of course, but really taken aback.” She went on to talk about her late father, also a Realtor, who set the example of providing truly excellent customer service.
The purpose of the award is to recognize an active member of the association who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and dedication to the real estate community through involvement in the provincial association, local board and the community.
Kerr was the first chairperson of the Quality of Life Committee and built the committee from the ground up. She worked tirelessly to provide the vision and manpower to make the gala and fundraisers a success, says the association. In 2006, Kerr was honoured as the Saskatoon Realtor of the Year, proof of the high esteem in which she is held by her peers.
