NAHB Recognizes Top Industry Achievements at The Nationals Awards Gala

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) honored outstanding residential real estate sales, marketing and design, 55+ housing projects, individual achievement and global excellence at the National Sales and Marketing Awards gala (known as “The Nationals℠”). The Nationals: powered by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, honoring the best in sales, marketing and design, were presented last month during the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla. Awards were also presented for the Best of 55+ Housing Industry Awards, NAHB Honors and Global Innovation Awards.

“The Nationals are the most prestigious awards of their kind, setting the benchmark for innovation in the housing industry,” said NAHB Chairman Jerry Konter, a builder and developer from Savannah, Ga. “NAHB’s commitment to recognizing originality, imagination and success has been exemplified by its award winners since the competition’s inception.”
