Inman is the real estate industry’s leading news source. In advance of the annual Inman Connect summit, they selected dozens of finalists from around the country for their 2017 Innovators awards. Last week, they announced the winners and runners up. Team Diva was named as first runner up for Most Innovative Team!

First off, big congrats to the Orlando-based Figueroa Team for getting first place! Second, high-five to fellow runner up Five Doors Real Estate Network in Arizona.

Next, big thanks to our business family at Coldwell Banker Bain. President and COO of CB Bain Mike Grady had some kind words in response:

We’re so proud of Team Diva.. the team consistently outperforms its competitors and delights its clients by providing not just amazing service, but inventive strategies that facilitate their buying and selling processes. Team Diva’s marketing acumen is second to none, and we couldn’t be happier that they’re being nationally recognized for their work.

Thank you, Mike. We couldn’t be happier, too! And last but not least, thank you to all of you in Divaland. It’s YOU that makes it so fun and rewarding to try different things. Whether it’s voting parties, charity drag carnivals, or just our usual sassy Seattle-lovin blogs. We’ll keep at it. (And stay tuned for expanded Diva content in the coming months, including lots more Neighborhood Guides in September.)
