October 20, 2017

Bob McVey of Georgetown has been named the 2017 Delaware Realtor of the Year. The award was presented by Bruce Plummer, 2017 president of the Delaware Association of Realtors, during the association's recent annual convention and trade show held at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino. In June, the Sussex County Association of Realtors recognized McVey as the 2017 Sussex County Realtor of the Year.

The award honors a Delaware Realtor whose outstanding service has delivered positive impact to Realtor organizations on the national, state and local levels as well as the real estate industry and community. McVey will represent Delaware at the upcoming National Association of Realtors Annual Conference & Expo in Chicago.

He was the 2016 DAR president and serves on two national committees. He has been a Realtor in Delaware since 1994 and an associate broker since 2002. McVey served with the U.S. Coast Guard for 21 years, retiring as a master chief petty officer. An active umpire for baseball and softball, he is also on the board of directors of Sussex County Habitat for Humanity.

Three other Realtors were recognized at the DAR convention for volunteer efforts that had a positive impact in their local communities. Kathy Newcomb of Sussex County, Brian Hadley of New Castle County and Jean Dowding of Kent County were named as 2017 Good Neighbors by members of their local Realtor associations. The awards honor Realtors who work to improve the quality of life for their neighbors and demonstrate a commitment to make their communities better places to live. A $1,000 donation was made to a charity of choice by each honoree, and charities included the Cape Community Fund, Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition and Hand in Hand Disaster Relief.
