HousingWire and MAXA Designs are proud to partner for the 2025 Exhibit Awards, a national awards platform recognizing standout real estate and now mortgage branding and design. First launched in 2022, Exhibit was built on a simple idea: great branding doesn’t just make a brokerage look good. It drives clarity, culture, and business value. Today, the awards have grown into the most visible stage for creative excellence across the industry.
The Exhibit Awards shine a spotlight on brokerages that lead with strategy, creativity, and consistency. Through intentional design and authentic storytelling, these brands elevate their marketing, empower their agents, and set new industry standards. Backed by HousingWire’s national reach and MAXA’s reputation as the #1 rated real estate marketing and design automation platform, the awards continue to evolve into the definitive benchmark for modern real estate and mortgage branding.
Celebrating strategic, thoughtful, purpose-driven branding
Each year, Exhibit honors standout brands across four regions West Coast, Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast highlighting those who push creative boundaries and demonstrate a unified, compelling identity. From logo systems and typography to messaging, digital presence, and campaign execution, the awards celebrate brokerages that tell a clear and cohesive brand story across every medium.
But Exhibit represents more than recognition. It is a celebration of the creative and marketing teams behind the work teams who transform their brands through thoughtful design and strategic storytelling. These teams often shape much more than the aesthetic of a brokerage; they influence culture, unlock business value, and spark community impact that extends far beyond the screen or print piece.
Whether you’re an independent brokerage or a local franchise that has crafted your own identity, Exhibit is your opportunity to gain national visibility, share your voice, and inspire the next chapter of real estate and mortgage branding.
