COE History

The Million Dollar Sales Club and later, the Outstanding Sales Club, represented members from five different boards (Portsmouth/Suffolk, Franklin, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach). A merger produced the Tidewater Board of REALTORS^® and the name of the award was changed back and forth before reverting to Million Dollar Sales Club. In 1990, the word Board was changed to Association and Tidewater Association of REALTORS^® lasted through the decade. The Circle of Excellence^℠ awards replaced the Million Dollar Sales Club in 1994. The year of the millennium brought another merger and the last name change for HRRA. In 2004, the awards for the Eastern and Western regions of the Association were combined, and for the first time, all REALTORS^® in South Hampton Roads were represented.
