"It was an honor to receive this award. Serving as President of our Association in 2012 presented me the opportunity to keep both Realtors and homeowners in our community aware of the Real Estate trends that directly affect our market. I also continued our Associations efforts to promote homeownership through Legislative Advocacy during one of the most challenging economic times in recent real estate history."

Cort learned from his family about the importance of giving back to his community and the industry, and has spent the duration of his career living up to that family tradition. An active member of the Greater St. Charles County Chamber of Commerce, Cort served as Chair of the Chamber's Young Professional's Network in 2011, and he received the Chamber Champion Award in 2012 for his service to the organization.

Cort Schneider is an outstanding leader of the St. Charles Realtor family. He has served as Treasurer, President-Elect, and as a member of the Board of Directors for the SCHNEIDER Association, as well as the Grievance Committee. In 2012, Cort was the President of the St. Charles County Association of Realtors, the fourth member of his family to do so.
