No, there’s no category for “Best Actor” or “Best Actress” — though arguably, there should be.
But the first-ever

You’ll note that yours truly popped up in three categories: “the Mark Twain Award,” “Most Showings – ERCL Listings,” and “Average Market Time.”
The one my clients (and prospective clients) should care about most is that last category, “Average Market Time” — a very fast 34 days.
By contrast, the average listing these days takes almost four months to sell.
