Smith Honored as a 2012 Rising Star
Recently, NCAR announced its latest class of Rising Stars - a bright, energetic group full of potential and great ideas. One of our very own has earned this prestigious honor - Laurie Smith with Realty World Cape Fear. Laurie is a part of this group that has been in the business of real estate for less than five years and is already taking the industry by storm. With her service on WRAR's Professional Development Committee and Foreclosure Task Force, along with participation in a number of fundraisers, seminars, and banquets, she has proven to be a strong asset for her association. Smith is also active in her community and has volunteered with numerous agencies throughout Wilmington. We congratulate her on her success! Read more on this year's class in the latest Insight Magazine. |
