The brokerage has been serving Lubbock since 2007 and this is the second time the father/son pair has been recognized for outstanding leadership, having been named EXIT’s Southwest USA Brokers of the Year in 2015.

“The EXIT Realty of Lubbock office is a monument of class, professionalism and commitment to the real estate industry and the owners lead with passion and purpose in everything they do,” said Craig.  “Russell and Gene have earned our Broker of the Year Award and we couldn’t be more proud of their leadership. They have grown an office culture of caring, sharing and overall concern for everyone’s success and we are so thankful they are part of our brand here at EXIT.”

Shawn joined EXIT Realty in 2004 as a sales representative moving into brokerage ownership in 2012 and earning Broker of the Year for the Southwest US Division of the company in 2017.  The brokerage is known locally for its annual Random Acts of Kindness (RAKA) community event, and Shawn volunteers her time with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Inland Empire and Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary, earning her the honor of EXIT’s 2021 Humanitarian Award.   

“We are thrilled to have Shawn receive our coveted Broker of the Year Award,” said Craig.  “She continues to lead with passion and to grow both personally and professionally with our franchise model and her positive attitude. She is a model franchise owner and leader in her region, and we couldn’t be more proud to see her receive this recognition.”
