Listen to today's podcast with Highland Park REALTOR® Betsy Brint, and you'll want to cast online votes for her as a finalist in NAR's Good Neighbor Award program.
Brint has served the Highland Park Community Foundation for years but the recognition comes as a result of the role the foundation has played in helping the Highland Park community heal following the mass shooting at its 2022 Independence Day parade. Brint and members of the foundation worked with local leaders to distribute donations to families of those who died, were injured or traumatized by the shooting.
If Brint and the foundation collect one of the three highest online vote totals before the Oct. 1 deadline, she will be named a Web Choice Favorite and the foundation will receive grant money to continue to support the community.
