Realtors Commercial Alliance Recognizes ‘Deal Makers’

The Realtors Commercial Alliance of the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast (RCA), a division of the Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches (RAPB), recently recognized several members with Deal Maker Awards.

These prizes are given annually for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the commercial real estate industry.

The RCA’s annual Deal Maker Awards are based on complexity, environmental concerns, financing, proficiency in overcoming obstacles and the overall impact the business deal had on the community.

An RCA member since 2015, Krise was also awarded the 2016 Rookie of the Year prize.

Robert Goldstein of Hospitality Consultants in Boca Raton was named 2016 Realtor of the Year.
