IRVINE, Calif., (March 1, 2021) – Real Living Real Estate, one of the nation's leading real estate brokerage franchisors, has been named to RISMedia’s 2021 Real Estate Newsmakers “Hall of Fame”—a select group within RISMedia’s annual Newsmaker honorees, which celebrates icons in the industry for their long-standing and/or exemplary service. RISMedia’s Real Estate Newsmakers recognize those who are making headlines as a result of their newsworthy contributions to the real estate industry, and their efforts to positively affect the consumers and communities they serve.

RISMedia, the leader in U.S. real estate news and information services, announced its nearly 300, 2021 Real Estate Newsmakers on Feb. 1, in both an online directory on RISMedia.com and in the February issue of its flagship publication, Real Estate magazine.

“I am humbled and honored to be joining such an esteemed roster of real estate professionals,” said Allan Dalton, CEO of Real Living Real Estate. “After a year like 2020 where real estate professionals were faced with great adversity, it was also a year of remarkable accomplishment. Our network agents persevered demonstrating their resiliency, selflessness, ingenuity and initiative. And without them, this honor would not be possible.”

Allan Dalton is the Chief Executive Officer of Real Living Real Estate and has a wealth of real estate experience to his position. He is the former CEO of realtor.com and past president and co-owner of a 32-office Regional Brokerage – Murphy Realty Better Homes and Gardens. He was also named by the National Association of REALTORS as one of the real estate industry’s 25 most influential thought leaders.

"Every year, we're amazed by the incredible ingenuity and success of members in the real estate community, ranging from the glass ceilings being shattered by industry leaders, to the creativity and innovation being implemented at a record pace, and all the way to the wonderful charitable work being accomplished across the nation," said John Featherston, CEO, president and publisher of RISMedia. "This year, more than ever, we are proud to recognize the hard work, dedication and determination of real estate's finest professionals—the 2021 Real Estate Newsmakers—who went above and beyond in 2020 even amid a turbulent time for the industry, and the world, facing the challenges head-on and without fear. Help us in celebrating their hard-earned recognition."

RISMedia is hoping to honor this year's Real Estate Newsmakers, including the 2021 Hall of Fame, at a live event later in the year. The company is monitoring the appropriateness of this related to the status of the health crisis.
