North Texas Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame Moves Event to October

An event that will honor two North Texas real estate leaders with one of the industry’s highest honors has been moved to October, organizers said.

The North Texas Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame, in cooperation with the North Texas Commercial Association of Realtors, had planned to induct Ray L. Hunt, executive chairman of Hunt Consolidated Inc., and Leon J. Backes, founder and chief executive officer of Provident Realty Advisors, Inc., into the 2020 Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame in May.

Now it has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021, because of the pandemic.

B. Diane Butler, the co-founder and previous executive chairman and chief executive officer of Butler Burgher Group, will receive the Michael F. McAuley Lifetime Achievement Award.

Storey Stemmons; and Angus G. Wynne. Later additions to the roster included John Carpenter; Roger Staubach; Henry S. Miller Company; Jerry Jones; Ross Perot, Jr.; Gerald Hines and Jeff Hines; and many others.
