We are happy to announce that our MLS President, Mary Jane White, has been chosen 2016 Realtor of the Year by a committee of her peers.  This honor is bestowed upon a REALTOR that goes above and beyond in their volunteer service in the REALTOR organization including local, state and national levels, those who give back to the community and believe in the ideals and importance of the REALTOR organization and our impact on the Berkshire community.

Mary Jane, broker owner of Cohen & White in Lenox, has been a member on various committees over the years, but first became actively involved in the leadership of the Realtor organization four years ago, when first elected to serve on the MLS Board of Directors – her understanding of the industry issues facing our association was apparent, and the following year, she was tapped to serve as Secretary/Treasurer of the MLS and then President.  Mary Jane stepped in to serve two terms to ensure continuity and strong leadership.

Mary Jane has spent countless hours traveling on our behalf, attending meetings and conferences, and serving on critical MLS Committees. She has led by example and actively serves the local association on many, many key task forces, committees and workgroups for the Board.
