NAREE seeks entries for its real estate book competition

May 15 is the deadline to enter NAREE’s Bruss Book Awards Competition for real estate books published in English in 2021.

Enter books focusing on the broad field of real estate including home building, architecture and interior design; green building; community design and sustainability; home buying and selling.

E-books are welcome.

Prizes: Gold Award – $1000; Silver Award – $500; Bronze Award – $250; Leigh Robinson Best First-time Author Award – $250

NAREE’s Book Awards are named for the late Bob Bruss, syndicated real estate columnist, prolific writer, and longtime NAREE leader and mentor who enjoyed reviewing real estate books and was instrumental in building association membership for many years.

The awards program was created to recognize the excellence manifested in the work of real estate authors on an annual basis. Books focusing on the broad field of real estate including mortgage finance; home buying and selling; the business of real estate, government housing policy, green building, urban design, investing, architecture, and construction are expected among myriad other topics.

The awards program is being funded by generous grants from the late Leigh Robinson, founder of Express Publishing, author of “Landlording,” and NAREE 2011 President and his late wife, Ivy Robinson, as well as Brad Inman, founder of Inman News and NAREE 1992 President; and in-kind donations from the NAREE Board of Directors and Past Presidents.
