Awardees Recognized for Achievements

By RAMP Website | 01/22/2020

The REALTORS Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh recognized several of its members last week at a ceremony held at Big Bang Pittsburgh, a dueling piano bar in Homestead. The venue was unlike anything we have seen recently. Guests enjoyed food, drinks, and a pair of killer piano players belting out your favorite songs. View the program booklet from the event.

Here is a run down of our distinguished awardees:
