Colorado REALTORS® Honor Rachel Rohrig as Colorado Young Professional of the Year
ENGLEWOOD, CO – Rachel Rohrig, a commercial real estate broker and owner of Market Real Estate in Boulder, Colorado, was named Colorado Young REALTOR® of the Year by the Colorado Association of REALTORS® (CAR) and the Colorado Young Professionals Network (CYPN) at its annual convention in Snowmass, Colorado.
This award, also known as the Gus Williams Young REALTOR® of the Year Award, recognizes young professionals who strive each day to better the industry and their local community. The CYPN is a group of REALTORS® who strive for leadership, and they honor individuals who have a strong commitment to the Young Professional network, as well as those who raise the bar for success both in their community and real estate business.
Rohrig received the 2022 award for combining both her career as a leading commercial real estate broker while also spurring volunteerism in the real estate profession.
One of Rohrig’s accomplishments includes developing an industry day of volunteerism to connect real estate professionals with nonprofit organizations in Denver and Boulder. She put the program together using her commercial real estate business, Market Real Estate, to recruit volunteers annually to help at food banks and family and homeless housing resource centers.
Rohrig, a Boulder native, also began an “adopt a family” program for victims of the Marshall Fire in January 2022. She and other REALTOR® YPN volunteers solicited furniture donations from businesses, and Rohrig was able to secure warehouse space for the donations by utilizing her connections in commercial real estate. Families who lost their furniture in the fire now had some basic comforts of home.
In addition to the award, CYPN donated $500 on her behalf to A Real Day for Real Estate
“Rachel harnessed the power of the real estate profession to make a difference in other’s lives,” said Shelby Foster, CYPN’s 2022 Chair. Foster presented Rohrig with the award at CAR’s inaugural dinner in October. “She is continually thinking of others and how she can help.”
