GEORGETOWN — The Sussex County Association of REALTORS announces Renee Parker as the recipient of the 2024 Good Neighbor Award.

This award recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication to improving their communities through philanthropic endeavors and volunteerism.

In addition, SCAOR also donates $1,000 to the charity of choice for each year’s Good Neighbor Award winner.

Ms. Parker, a member of the SCAOR community, has been instrumental in her support for Redemption City, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the homeless population in Sussex County.

Her passion for helping those in need is truly inspiring, and we are grateful for her ongoing support."

Prior to her career in real estate, Ms. Parker worked in the criminal justice system as a psycho-forensic evaluator, where she witnessed firsthand the importance of providing support and resources to vulnerable populations.

"I am honored to receive the Good Neighbor Award from the Sussex County Association of REALTORS," said Ms. Parker. "My commitment to serving others has always been a driving force in my life, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those in need."
