Brandi Pearl Thompson: A Look Back At 2020 Thursday, December 24, 2020 - by Brandi Pearl Thompson, president, Greater Chattanooga Realtors 2020 is about to be in the rearview, and with that, my time as President of Greater Chattanooga Realtors will be over. With my last column, I wanted to shine a light on some of the items I’m most proud of as association president in this surprising and often trying year: Investing locally. This year has shown us that our favorite restaurants, venues and artists are more cherished than we ever thought. Greater Chattanooga Realtors believes in acting and investing locally, and so when we recognized our members for the advocacy efforts, we used local artists to make our awards.
