According to HousingWire, the annual award program recognizes leaders in mortgage, real estate, and fintech who make a significant impact on their organizations and the broader housing economy. This year’s winners were chosen by the organization’s editorial team and industry professionals based on professional accomplishments, industry contributions, community involvement, and overall influence.
Under Margy Grant’s leadership as CEO of Florida Realtors, technology platforms like Tech Helpline and Form Simplicity have gained national recognition. Both were named to HousingWire’s 2025 Tech100 for the third consecutive year. Form Simplicity was also acknowledged in the Tech200 as one of the industry’s Top 5 Transaction Management Systems.
Grant encourages innovation and a collaborative work environment at Florida Realtors. Recently, they launched Sabal Sign, a digital signature solution enhancing the Form Simplicity transaction management platform used statewide by real estate professionals.
Her influence extends beyond Florida; she serves on several national committees including the National Association of Realtors Finance Committee and is part of the Realtor Political Action Committee (RPAC) Hall of Fame. This acknowledges her long-term commitment to advocacy efforts that protect property rights and promote real estate as a profession.
In 2024, Grant was one of only three association executives nationwide inducted into NAR’s Dr. Almon R. (Bud) Smith, RCE, AE Leadership Society for outstanding leadership and mentorship.
Grant joined Florida Realtors in 2005 and has served in various roles such as general counsel and chief operations officer.
HousingWire’s announcement about this recognition highlighted how honorees reflect strong talent leading housing into the future. “This year’s honorees reflect the depth of talent and leadership shaping today’s housing economy,” said Sarah Wheeler, HousingWire editor-in-chief. “With a strategic vision and a deep commitment to their teams and communities, these women are not only driving progress but also paving the way for the next generation of leaders.”
