NEW ORLEANS, LA – Glenn Gardner, president of Gardner Realtors, was the winner of the prestigious Leadership Award from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, an invitation-only global community of more than 565 independent real estate firms. The award, presented February 21 at Wynn Las Vegas during LeadingRE Conference Week, celebrates a member broker whose leadership skills and achievements have drawn the attention and admiration of others.
Gardner was selected not only for his highly successful real estate career, but also for his contributions to the community. Mentored by his grandmother, the company’s founder, he has doubled the number of sales associates and sales volume during his 40 years at the helm. During this time, he has served as director of the city’s Real Estate Board, the metropolitan area’s Association of Realtors, a board member of the National Association of Realtors and numerous other councils.
“Glenn’s passion for real estate is outweighed only by his commitment to eradicate homelessness in his community. Through the foundation he created in his grandmother’s honor, his outreach program supports many organizations, not the least of which is a cottage built to house 32 homeless women at a time,” said Paul Boomsma, LeadingRE President and CEO. “Whether it’s through business or through philanthropy, Glenn is devoted to helping people create a life they love, and it is a true privilege to recognize him with our Leadership Award.”
“Serving our local community and leading our incredible team at Gardner Realtors to help everyone around us create the life they love has been my top priority all these years,” said Gardner. “It is an honor to be recognized for the work we do and I am truly grateful that I was chosen out of more than 565 independent real estate firms across the world for this incredible distinction.”
