Crowned & Connected

A REALM-Worthy Moment for The Assaad Group

Every now and then, amidst contracts, closings, and Compass dashboards, something magical happens… and no, we’re not talking about finding parking in downtown Dallas.

We’re talking about Palm Beach. Chandeliers. Ocean breezes. And The Crown Awards.

This year at the 2025 REALM Global CROWN Awards Gala, Kim and Mark Assaad were honored with the Community Champion Award—a title that sounds like a Marvel superhero, but with fewer capes and more client calls.

So What Exactly Is a “Community Champion”?

Well, it’s not someone who just shows up—it’s someone who shows up for others.

This award celebrates more than success in luxury real estate. It recognizes impact. Connection. Contribution. It honors those who make a network feel like home—and as anyone who’s worked with Kim and Mark knows, home is their specialty.

As REALM so eloquently put it, Kim and Mark are a “dynamic duo committed to connection, contribution, and making this network feel like home.”

(We’re not crying, YOU’RE crying.)

Real Recognizes Real: The 2025 CROWN Award Winners

We’re honored to be listed among a cohort of truly exceptional professionals—each raising the bar for what it means to lead in luxury real estate. A standing ovation (and possibly a mimosa) for:

  • Strategic Partner of the Year: Rivian – Accelerating more than just electric trucks—they’re redefining partnership.
  • Rising Stars: Ashley Inglis & Scott Willers – Double the sparkle, double the inspiration.
  • Deal of the Year: Paul Benson – For reminding us what real estate mastery really looks like.
  • Referral Ringleader: Bryan Garrity – Making the art of connection look effortless and always generous.
  • Tech Trailblazer: Bob Pennypacker – Because innovation should be as seamless as your Compass app.
  • Collaborator of the Year: John Eric – Turning relationships into results. Literally.
  • Marketing Magicians: Alan Canas & Bridget Ramey – Because who doesn’t love a photo-finish tie?
  • Innovator of the Year: Monica Monson – Visionary, builder, trailblazer. Enough said.
  • Member of the Year: Annie Clougherty – For embodying REALM’s finest values: leadership, generosity, and grace.

A Toast to Our Tribe

To every fellow REALM member, partner, collaborator, and client who’s supported us on this wild and wonderful ride—thank you. You are what makes this network thrive.

We are proud to be part of a global family that blends luxury with loyalty, where integrity leads and collaboration creates legacy. This award isn’t just ours—it belongs to every relationship we’ve built along the way.

So, here’s to the next chapter—more connections, more impact, and yes, more reasons to dress up in Palm Beach.


With gratitude and Texas-sized appreciation,

– Kim & Mark Assaad
