Pat was a good friend and a respected partner who played in a key role in the early days of ListHub and Realtor.com. We have made a donation in her memory.
Metro MLS has made a contribution in her good name.
Thank you Greg and Dan for your generosity. That’s awesome!! Clareity’s original founders help establish the scholarship and we also made substantial donations. DU is my alma mater and the Burns School is excellent (I didn’t study real estate management while there, but some friends did). The memory of Pat will live on in the many students that will be helped in the future. Thanks for mentioning WB Freeman – he deserves the credit for working with Mark to make Pat’s scholarship come together so quickly.
