Brown Harris Stevens, one of the country’s largest privately owned real estate brokerages, has announced its agent award recipients recognized for outstanding production companywide and by region in 2020.  This marks the first awards ceremony since Brown Harris Stevens restructured to incorporate Halstead and celebrated both incoming and legacy Brown Harris Stevens agents. 

Due to Covid safety protocols, the interactive web-based ceremony was produced entirely in-house by the Brown Harris Stevens marketing team in conjunction with BrandLive. The awards were presented virtually to the agents by CEO Bess Freedman, New York City President Hall Willkie, Executive Chairman Diane Ramirez and Regional President Richard Grossman. The event also featured remarks by Terra Holdings Co-Chairmen William Zeckendorf and David Burris as well as Brown Harris Stevens COO Alan Kersner. 

Headlining the ceremony was special guest speaker Amy Purdy,  a celebrated Paralympic athlete, author, and renowned motivational speaker. Musical accompaniment was courtesy of a motivational Spotify list curated by Freedman herself with selections ranging from Broadway tunes to Hip-hop. BHS employees were also recognized for their hard work during the pandemic with a "night out on BHS" gift card to GrubHub.

“The 2020 Awards ceremony was the first time we truly celebrated together as one company and really showcased the depth of talent and breadth of our reach. I am so proud of the award recipients, and all of our incredible agents. This was a challenging year, but we got through it together, and are stronger for it,” said Freedman.
