TCAR (www.TCAR.com), the Triangle Commercial Association of REALTORS®, announces today winners from its ninth annual Frontier Awards. The organization’s signature event honors the top commercial real estate brokers for their transaction volume, as well as leadership in the association, the industry and the community. More than 160 guests attended the March 7 awards breakfast.

“There is a reason why Forbes ranked Raleigh as America’s second fastest growing city in 2014. It is in part due to the tireless dedication of the commercial real estate professionals,” says Justin Good, TCAR president. “It is an honor to recognize these community leaders for their dedication to growing the entire Triangle region of North Carolina.”
