ALTON ─ Sharon Pratt, managing broker/co-owner of RE/MAX River Bend, was named 2017 Realtor of the Year by the Greater Gateway Association of Realtors.
The honor came March 18 at the annual Awards Banquet. Pratt will receive special recognition during the Illinois Realtors state banquet June 6 in Springfield at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum.
Pratt has been a Realtor for more than 40 years. She serves on the GGAR board and says a career in real estate has given her the opportunity to help people realize the dream of homeownership. She also received the 2016 YWCA Woman of Distinction Award.
