Greenville, S.C. – Wilson Associates, one of Greenville’s largest independent real estate firms, is proud to announce that the firm’s co-founder, vice president and broker Nick Carlson has been named Realtor of the Year by the Greater Greenville Association of Realtors (GGAR). This prestigious award honors exemplary achievement and leadership among real estate professionals in the Greater Greenville MLS area, comprised of more than 4,000 MLS agents representing more than 640 member REALTOR® Firms.
Carlson, the immediate past president of GGAR, was chosen for his ongoing industry leadership, service and efforts to shepherd the industry through a period of great flux. He has played a key role in educating both buyers/sellers and fellow professionals on issues like shifting market demographics and changing compensation models, while continuing to be a force for positive economic and community growth in the Upstate.
” Nick Carlson exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and commitment to our industry and community, so it is my honor to recognize him as our REALTOR of the Year, said Rhett Brown, president, Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS. “His leadership, dedication, and passion for service are truly inspiring, and his impact on our association and profession is profound.”
One of the most active and community-spirited agents in the Upstate, Carlson is committed to keeping the market abreast of new developments, advocating for needed change, adopting best practices, and mentoring agents. He has served GGAR in many key roles over the years, including lobbying federal, state and local governmental leaders on significant matters related to the real estate industry and working closely with the City of Greenville, called upon to offer input on smart development and zoning. He also serves as a member of the Board of Directors and Finance Committee for the South Carolina Association of Realtors, where he has handled event planning and allocation of professional funds and helped champion the organization’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Women’s Council efforts.
Although not a native of Greenville, Nick moved here after graduating from Clemson and has a genuine love for his hometown and its people. As co-founder of Wilson Associates, which celebrated its tenth anniversary this year, Nick has fostered a culture of service, excellence, cooperation and giving, with the firm and its agents supporting countless non-profit organizations vital to making Greenville the thriving community it is, including Project Host, Unity Park, The Meyer Center, and others. Health-related causes like Chop Cancer and the AV 200 bike race supporting AIDS research are especially close to his heart.
“This award recognizes what anyone who’s ever worked with Nick Carlson already knows: he is one of the top real estate agents anywhere, known for his expert knowledge of the industry and market paired with high energy, extreme attention to detail, and a true clients-first mentality,” noted Wilson Associates Co-founder, President and Broker-in-Charge Sharon Wilson. “We couldn’t be happier for or prouder of him.”
