Long & Foster Real Estate announced that RT Christopher, managing broker of the Greenville Sales office, has received the Mel Stout Ethics Award from the New Castle County Board of Realtors (NCCBOR).

The Mel Stout Ethics Award is given in memory of longtime friend of NCCBOR, Mel Stout. For 25 years, Stout taught the organization’s code of ethics class and was well known for practicing what he preached, keeping his promises and always doing the right thing. The award recognizes agents who are members of NCCBOR for upholding the same high level of ethical and moral standards that Stout lived his life by. In addition to being presented with the award at the NCCBOR’s annual awards event, a donation will be made in Christopher’s honor to the Delaware Housing Opportunity Fund.
