Rookie of the Year

Rookie of the Year honors went to Josh Houston of Clear Choice Enterprises.

Megan Rummel, president of the association, said Houston, a Slippery Rock University graduate, has recorded more than $1 million in sales in the single year he has been a Realtor.

“He’s not afraid of a challenge and he’s eager to learn,” Rummel said.

Houston called the Rookie of the Year award “unexpected.”

“My first year in real estate has been a ton of fun,” he said. “I left what I thought was my dream job to move to my actual dream job (in real estate).”

Houston attributed his success to one thing.

“I prioritize relationships,” he said. “That is what this industry is all about.”
