The annual list of most influential people in the industry recognizes those who embrace leadership, innovation, ingenuity, power and persistence — they are the industry’s best and brightest and also include those outside figures whose actions influence the business of buying and selling homes.
And the annual list of most influential real estate bloggers recognizes those bloggers who are well-known, well-read, and have a knack for stirring up discussion and debate on important, timely and relevant topics for the industry.
