THORNTON, CO. SEPTEMBER 9, 2004—Todd Cordrey, Broker/Owner of American Dream Home Realty Inc. in Northglenn, received the “Realtor of the Year” award at the North Metro Denver Realtor Association’s Annual Inauguration, held on September 9, 2004 at Stonebrook Manor in Thornton. Cordrey is also a founder and director of education for American Dream Real Estate School, a Colorado real estate school.

Cordrey, a nine-year veteran of real estate sales and services, earned his Colorado Brokers License in 1995 after graduating with a degree in Real Estate and Finance from New Mexico State University. He has been an active member of the North Metro Denver Realtor Association for more than seven years.

Cordrey is involved in several community organizations and non-profits in the north Denver Metro area. He has donated time as an instructor, teaching Business Practice and Agent Orientation to new members of NMDRA, while also periodically serving on the Board’s Bylaws Committee and is a certified instructor at the Colorado Association of Realtors. Cordrey is authoring a new class to assist new agents in establishing and growing their real estate businesses.

Cordrey is a director/member of the Capital Facility Foundation, a non-profit organization developed to help collect funds slated for the construction of area schools.

He sits on the Key Communications Group for the Brighton School District and was elected to the 27J Board of Education in 2003.

In addition to his activities in community service and NMDRA, Cordrey still manages to run a successful real estate practice. He has consistently ranked in the top two percent in sales, averaging more than $10 million in resale sales volume annually over the past eight years. In addition to burgeoning resale business, Cordrey is a partner in the marketing efforts at Clover Meadows, a $25 million new home project located in the heart of Brighton.

Cordrey holds the Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI), Accredited Buyers’ Representative (ABR), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified Residential Broker (CRB), and Master of Real Estate (MRE) designations from the state and national Boards. He is also a member of the Sales and Marketing Council for new home sales and holds the Certified Sales Professional (CSP) designation. Continuing education is always a priority for Todd, and he is in the process of earning the ePro and SRES certification and is a candidate member of MIRM.

In 2002, Cordrey was honored with the “Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award” by the Brighton Chamber of Commerce. His work in residential real estate also helped him land a seat on the Board of Directors at Almost Home, Inc., a non profit organization that helps families and individuals with housing and transitional needs.

But most of all for Todd Cordrey, it’s family first. His passion for spending quality time with his wife, Margo, and their three young children, Alexi, Zane and Lincoln, supersedes only his fondness of the residential real estate business and his commitment to giving back to the community in which he lives and works.
