Upon receiving the award, Madison said political involvement is the right thing for REALTORS® to do not only for the real estate business but also for the benefit of every homeowner, renter and potential homeowner in the state.

“I’m thrilled to do it, that’s why we all do it, but to be honored by you is amazing,” she said.
