The JohnHart Person of the Year isn’t “Agent of the Year: Part 2”. This is a distinct honor that celebrates the individual who most fully embodied the JohnHart principles throughout the year. Nominees didn’t simply learn our values; they lived them. They wove them into their daily actions, their mindset, and the way they show […]
We may not have seen it around our own offices, where we fared against the currents of this industry better than most, but 2025 was the type of year that ends careers. Not whims.
