honorable mention and was awarded $2,500 through the National
Association of Realtors®' (NAR) Good Neighbor Award. The award is

Rempson's service to the Charlotte community is immeasurable, and his
latest volunteer leadership for Realtors® Care Day put him in the
national spotlight. Realtors® Care Day, a project of the
association's Housing Opportunity Foundation, has helped 64 families
over the last two years. The project was Rempson's vision back in
2008, and with the help of a core committee, Rempson was event chair
in 2009 and served as co-chair in 2010.
Realtors® Care Day 2010 is an all-day event that assists deserving
homeowners with critical but often unaffordable exterior home
repairs. The event is the largest philanthropic project of the
foundation; more than 650 Realtor® volunteers perform repairs on more
than 30 homes across Mecklenburg and Iredell counties. The project's
estimated financial impact amounts to more than $400,000 over the past
two years.
"Joe's passion for helping others is inspirational and has been the
key to the success of Realtors® Care Day," says Terri Marshall,
executive director of the foundation. "We are truly fortunate that
Joe's commitment to service extends to leadership roles within our
foundation and association. He has helped guide the Realtor®
community's efforts to improve the lives of our neighbors."
Rempson has served as a Realtor® and property manager for the past 12
years with T.R. Lawing Realty, Inc., and is graciously supported by
his wife, Rachel, and three children, Avery, Cole and Ryann.
