Company Awards at NAI DESCO | Commercial Real Estate Culture & Performance
Why We Celebrate: What Our Annual Awards Mean at NAI DESCO
At NAI DESCO, our annual awards are more than a year-end tradition—they are a reflection of who we are as a firm and how we define success. Each January, we pause to recognize outstanding performance, leadership, and teamwork, not simply to celebrate results, but to reinforce the values that have guided our company for 25 years.
This year’s awards followed one of the strongest performances in our firm’s history: the second-best year in NAI DESCO’s 25-year track record. That milestone didn’t happen by accident. It was driven by collaboration, trust, consistency, and people who show up every day committed to doing the work the right way.
Why Awards Matter at NAI DESCO
In commercial real estate, success is often measured in transactions and volume—but we believe how those results are achieved matters just as much as the numbers themselves. Our awards are designed to recognize:
- Sustained performance over time
- Teamwork and shared accountability
- Professionalism and integrity
- A culture that supports both experience and emerging talent
These honors represent individual excellence, but they also highlight the collective effort behind every deal, every client relationship, and every successful year.
Top Producer of the Year: Leadership Built on Partnership
Our Top Producer of the Year award recognizes exceptional performance and long-term consistency. This year’s recipient, Peter Sheahan, has earned this honor multiple times throughout his career—an achievement that speaks to discipline, market expertise, and trusted client relationships.
Equally important was Peter’s message to the firm: success is never achieved alone. In accepting the award, he acknowledged the contributions of fellow brokers and teammates and dedicated the recognition to Jill DeLauter, his trusted partner of 21 years. Their collaboration exemplifies how strong partnerships drive sustainable success at NAI DESCO.
Salesperson of the Year: Developing the Next Generation
The Salesperson of the Year award reflects both performance and momentum—and this year marked a significant milestone. Meghan Donovan, approaching just five years as a broker after joining NAI DESCO directly out of college, earned the award for the second consecutive year.
Her achievement underscores our commitment to developing talent at every stage. Meghan’s trajectory demonstrates what’s possible when drive, mentorship, and opportunity intersect—and why investing in young professionals is critical to the future of our firm.
Spirit Award: Recognizing the Power of Culture
Not every contribution shows up on a balance sheet. Our Spirit Award honors the individuals who elevate the entire organization through attitude, work ethic, and collaboration.
This year’s recipient, Lucy Felter, our Marketing Manager, embodies everything the award represents. Her positivity, attention to detail, flexibility, and relentless commitment to excellence support every team and every success across the firm. Culture is not accidental—and Lucy plays a key role in making NAI DESCO a place where people thrive.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on another strong year, our awards serve as a reminder that performance, culture, and people are inseparable. Celebrating excellence reinforces the standards we expect and the environment we’re committed to building—one rooted in trust, teamwork, and long-term relationships.
With 25 years behind us and momentum ahead, we’re proud of the people who make NAI DESCO what it is—and excited about what comes next.
