Real estate agents from across the state gathered in Dover Oct. 6 for the annual Delaware Association of Realtors Convention. At the convention, DAR recognized the winners of statewide awards for Realtors who go above and beyond, drawn from the winners at the county level. Dustin Parker, team leader of The Parker Group at Home Team Realty, was recognized with the 2016 Delaware Good Neighbor Award. Parker previously won the award from the Sussex County Association of Realtors.

Parker also plays the drums in his church praise band at St. John’s United Methodist Church in Seaford, and supports several other local organizations.
