This past year, each individual honored as one of RISMedia's 2019 Real Estate Newsmakers made headlines in his or her own way. Whether it was through charitable work or notable growth, each honoree made a positive impact in the real estate industry.
Here, we highlight a few who were chosen as Newsmakers in the Trendsetters category:

Since then, he has been involved in thousands of real estate transactions and has owned income properties in 11 states and 17 cities. Today, through his company, Platinum Properties Investor Network, Hartman helps people find financial freedom by wisely choosing income properties.

Delaney Philbrick, Buyer's Agent at Philbrick's By the Sea
A recent high school graduate, Delaney Philbrick wanted to follow in her father's footsteps and join her family's real estate legacy. Philbrick graduated from Portsmouth High School five months early and quickly obtained her real estate license so she could begin working with her father—broker/owner Dan Philbrick—as a buyer's agent.
"My dad has always told me, 'If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life,'" says Philbrick.

During his segments, Sewing offers opinion of current events, politics, and financial and real estate markets.
"Working synergistically towards a greater good—that’s the secret sauce," says Sewing. "Not just of what we do...but of anyone striving for success. This is that key ingredient."
