Oliver Frascona Lifetime Achievement Award

The Denver Metro Association of Realtors® (DMAR) is seeking nominations for the Oliver Frascona Lifetime Achievement Award. This prestigious award will be presented during the 2015 DMAR Inaugural to be held on Thursday, September 10, 2015 at Howl at the Moon from 6pm to 9pm.

Oliver was a ferocious legal advocate with an insatiable passion for real estate. He dedicated his life's work to real estate law, representing and advising developers, builders, lenders, buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. He was perhaps best known, however, for being one of the nation's premier educators of REALTORS®.

Oliver was a member of the Real Estate Educators Association and the Colorado Real Estate Educators Association, which named him Educator of the Year in 1990. He also was a member of the Colorado Association of Certified Closers; the Colorado Association of REALTORS®, which named him Educator of the Year in 2008; and the Colorado and American Bar Associations...which is why we are proud to begin a new tradition in honor of his legacy with the Oliver Frascona Lifetime Achievement Award.
