Think Realty Magazine, the nation’s oldest continuously publishing news magazine dedicated to individual real estate investing, honors 19 outstanding leaders in the industry niche with the 2016 Think Realty Awards of Distinction. The prestigious awards will be presented in August in San Francisco as part of Think Realty’s Global Conference, an event bringing investors from across the globe to California to network, get educated, and make deals.
The Think Realty Awards of Distinction program is the next step in the evolution of Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine’s longtime annual Top 50 Real Estate Investment Opinion Makers & Market Leaders list. PREIM, founded in 2004, rebranded as Think Realty Magazine in March as part of the comprehensive Think Realty membership organization for real estate investors, which provides access to the resources they need to build wealth, make better use of their time and live a life of purpose.
In its inaugural year, the Think Realty Awards of Distinction are being presented to companies and individuals that have proven themselves to be stellar role models and leaders based on their sound business practices, high ethical standards and dedication to moving real estate investing forward as a respected industry niche and avenue for wealth building.
“The real estate investing niche is really coming of age, with many more small investors embracing this as a proven way to build wealth, and many businesses there to help,” said Linda Wienandt, editor-in-chief of Think Realty Magazine. “These awards are a way to recognize the best of the best in the industry each year and promote the ethical practices that are essential to its continuing acceptance by mainstream investors. We congratulate all the winners and look forward to celebrating their achievement in San Francisco.”
The 19 categories encompass major components of the industry, including Property Management; Single-Family, Multifamily, Commercial and Alternative-Asset investors; Lenders; Portfolio Manager and others, culminating with the Master Investor of the Year and Think Realty Humanitarian of the Year.
