TUCSON, ARIZONA, January 30, 2023 -- Trend Report presented a dozen Best-in-Class Awards to recognize excellence in the commercial real estate community in Southern Arizona for 2022.
The first ever Best-in-Class Brokers were paid tribute with a specially printed Trend Report “challenge coin” in recognition of the fellowship and camaraderie that exists within our commercial real estate community. The challenge coins were presented at a Happy Hour held at the Mountain Oyster Club, Thursday evening, January 27th sponsored by Trend Report and The Bain Law Firm of Tucson.
“It’s amazing what’s happening in Southern Arizona within our real estate community,” said Trend Report Managing Editor, Karen Schutte. “This year’s Best-in-Class Award winners truly showcase excellence in commercial real estate sales and service to our community. We couldn’t be prouder of our winners!”
This year’s winners were as follows in the following categories:
- Multifamily Sales (more than 100 units): Clint Wadlund, Hamid Panahi, and Art Wadlund, Marcus & Millichap (IPA);
- Multifamily Sales (less than 100 units): Allan Mendelsberg and C. Joey Martinez, Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR;
- Industrial Sales: Rob Glaser, SIOR, CCIM, Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR;

Challenge coins date back to ancient times and have traditionally been used in the military and law enforcement. The coins have evolved to symbolize one’s camaraderie to an organization over the years and recognition of a person’s service.
The military still uses these simple coins as a gesture of allegiance, but challenge coins have outgrown the military and today, have escaped into the hands of civilians. Nothing is more fascinating than to see how such a simple concept as a coin has evolved into a truly meaningful and widespread emblem of tradition and honor; that will now be included in our commercial real estate community through those recognized.
As part of the tradition, members with a challenge coin can “challenge” each other to present their coin anytime and anyplace. If the challenged person fails to do so, they are responsible to buy the challenger a drink.
