Gurvitch honored by National Association of Realtors with Federal Political Coordinator Meritorious Service Award

Brooklyn, NY Max Gurvitch was presented with the Federal Political Coordinator Meritorious Service Award by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) at their mid-year conference in Washington, D.C. on May 14th.  A past president of NYSAR, Gurvitch has served as the Federal Political Coordinator for over 20 years and has a long-standing relationship with senator Chuck Schumer since he served in the House of Representatives almost 40 years ago. Gurvitch has steadfastly kept senator Schumer and congressman Jarrold Nadler informed and educated on Realtor priorities. He has served on numerous campaign committees, hosted fundraisers and effectively touted NAR’s federal priorities with both senator Schumer and congressman Nadler. As a champion for Realtors, fellow New York Realtors have relied heavily on Gurvitch’s wisdom and expertise. His relationship with senator Schumer and congressman Nadler has enabled the Realtors voice to be clearly heard.

Gurvitch, chair of the 2019 NAR Legal Action Committee, is also an active member of the Brooklyn Board of Realtors and four-time past president of the organization. He has served as chair of the Federal Taxation; Regulatory and Legislative; Land Use, Property Rights and Environment; and State and Local Issues Policy committees. Additionally, he served on the National Flood Insurance Program presidential advisory group.

Gurvitch manages locally-based Gurvitch Realtors, which offers management, real estate sales, commercial leasing and consultation services to individual real estate investors and investment groups.
