This Week in Houston Real Estate: TAR Annual Winter Meeting recognizes its top members

by Sergio Valdes

On February 12th, the Texas Association of Realtors commended several of its top members and associations during its annual Texas Realtors Winter Meeting. The 2017 Texas Realtor of the Year went to Dan Hatfield of Farmers National Company in Comfort, Texas. This award is given to an individual who has made a great impact on the industry through their contributions to their respective local, state and national organizations during their career. 

“A Texas Realtor is held to the highest of standards service not only from the association, but from their peers and colleagues and thus being honored at the Winter Meeting award ceremony is a testament to those who go above and beyond the call of service,” said Kaki Lybbert, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors. “Their jobs are not exclusive to connecting people with their dream homes, but to provide a lasting impact in the lives of all Texans.”
