Bray & Company Real Estate’s Merrite Wyatt received the 2024 Realtor of the Year Award, also known as the Sherm Bray Memorial Trophy, at this year’s Installation Banquet for the Grand Junction Area Realtor Association. The event took place last month at Colorado Mesa University.

Last year’s recipient, Rebekah Mendrop of RE/MAX 4000, delivered a speech detailing Wyatt’s outstanding contributions to the real estate profession and the Grand Valley community. Wyatt received a standing ovation from attendees.

“This is a proud moment for our company and a testament to Merrite’s dedication to his clients, peers, and the values we stand for at Bray & Company,” said Bray & Company CEO Robert Bray, the 1984 Realtor of the Year recipient.

In addition to celebrating Wyatt’s achievement, several Bray & Company leaders were elected to GJARA roles for the upcoming year: Katie Davis, president-elect for 2025; Ron Sechrist, returning treasurer; and Stewart Cruickshank and Merrite Wyatt, directors.
