A message from Lisa Nguyen, DMAR President:
As we reflect on 2025, I am filled with tremendous gratitude for everything we have accomplished together. This year was marked by meaningful growth, expanded member benefits, inspiring leadership achievements and a renewed commitment to strengthening our profession.
DMAR members continued to shine on the national stage. Chad Ochsner, Scott Webber and Stacie Staub were recognized in the Swanepoel Power 200. We also had a strong presence on RISMedia’s Real Estate Newsmakers list, with several of our leaders honored, including Roberto Vannucchi, Mor Zucker and myself. In addition, we celebrated Muriel Williams-Thompson’s election as Vice Chair of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers and welcomed Nick DiPasquel and Sarah Futa into CAR’s Leadership Academy. Our CEO, Brendan Bailey, was also recognized on the Denver Business Journal’s “2025 People on the Move” list.
This year brought some of the most impactful member benefits we’ve introduced in years. We rolled out FREE Forewarn, FREE CE for all members and launched the DMAR Financial Education Hotline, all designed to support member safety, professional growth and financial wellbeing. We also introduced the DMAR Leadership Academy, furthering our commitment to developing future leaders.
Our events and engagement initiatives reached new heights. At the 2025 Excellence Awards, we debuted the DMAR Emerging Champion Award, celebrating rising leaders in our industry. August’s expanded 31 Days of DMAR campaign brought new energy to Member Appreciation Month, and in November, we hosted our first-ever Fall Forward: Realtor® Innovation Summit.
Advocacy and community impact remained central to our mission. We raised nearly $20,000 for RPAC at the sold-out Dancing with the Stars: Realtor® Edition, and our 30-day DMAR Gives Matching Campaign, supported by REcolorado’s $15,000 match, provided meaningful support to our charitable foundation.
This year, we also concluded a wonderful seven-year partnership with Nicole Rueth of Movement Mortgage as our Market Trends sponsor. Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome Commerce Bank as our new sponsor in 2026. And to keep our members informed, we added free subscriptions to the Denver Business Journal and Real Estate News.
I remain incredibly grateful to our Board of Directors for their leadership and guidance throughout the year:
