Rouso Named 2009 REALTOR of the Year

Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS, the tenth largest association of REALTORS in the United States, named Dean Rouso, REALTOR of the Year for 2009 at an industry reception August 28.

The designation is one of the highest honors in the real estate industry and recognizes one of the Chicago areas premiere up and coming REALTOR broker-owners. “Dean Rouso exemplifies what it means to be a REALTOR. He has contributed freely of himself and his talents and is committed to excellence in his profession,” said CEO Pam Krieter of Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS.

“This award would not be possible without the support and dedication of my family, staff and REALTORS at Prime Property Partners,” said Rouso upon accepting the award.

While the real estate market has been slow since 2008, Prime Property Partners has seen growth in its business to the tune of 90% in 2009. Rouso attributes this award in part to the cutting edge way he does business. “Real estate is market based, we provide our clients with the statistical data and out of the box thinking that will help them make the right decision about selling or buying a home,” said Rouso.

Rouso’s service at the Illinois REALTOR Association has been as a Director, member of the Finance Committee, Business Issues/License Law Working Group, Strategic Planning and Vice Chair of the Professional Development MIG. At the National Association he is a Director and a member of the Conventional Finance and Lending Committee.

Dean’s dedication and commitment goes beyond the real estate business. He has served as the president of the La Grange Business Association and was honored with its Business Leader of the Year award in 2008. He is also currently serving as chairman of the event committee for the H Foundation’s Goombay Bash fundraiser raising over $3 Million for basic cancer research at Northwestern University.
