LOS GATOS, Calif., Nov. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RISMedia recently held its 26th annual, invitation-only Power Broker Reception & Dinner, which honors the Top 500 brokers in RISMedia's Annual Power Broker Report & Survey at the 2022 National Association of Realtors National Convention. The annual event recognizes the industry's top-performing and most impactful brokers and leaders.
Chris Trapani, CEO of Christie's International Real Estate Sereno, received the highly-esteemed Real Estate Leadership Award, sponsored by Buffini & Company.
Over the years, this award has been given to an industry leader who has shown visionary and meaningful leadership throughout his/her career, while also elevating the industry through intention, action, and individual example.
The award was presented to Chris Trapani by Amy Somerville, Vice President of Professional Development for Buffini & Company.
"This leader defines leadership simply as 'love'—a word that's contributed to his undeniable success and the word that most people use to describe him and his incredible impact on leadership," Somerville said.
Ryan Iwanaga, Co-Founder and CXO of Christie's International Real Estate Sereno, shared this excitement around Trapani receiving this award. He said:
"This recognition is significant in many ways, one of which is the fact that Chris has been recognized nationally and is one of only a handful of people who have received the award throughout our entire industry. As many of you know, Chris and I have known each other since the summer of 1976, when we became next door neighbors as 10 year olds. And after a lifetime spent together, I can say that Chris has always lived his life with the desire to inspire others. His determined spirit and vision of forward energy has literally willed the success in his life and also, most importantly, in the context of this award, what we all perhaps take for granted at Christie's Sereno on a daily basis."
While accepting the award, Trapani expressed, "I accept this award as a representative of everyone at Christie's Sereno and my best friend and co-founder, Ryan Iwanaga. I am incredibly humbled and honored that I have been blessed and privileged to work for and alongside some of the most phenomenal and exceptional leaders of our era, who have provided some unique learning and professional opportunities along the way. We founded Sereno with the idea that we could set out to make meaning, not just money. Today, I can proudly say that this dream has turned into reality."
