CEO REPORT of 2026

2026 Local Outstanding Achievement Award recipient Lauren Bunting

Lauren Bunting embodies the very purpose of this award: extraordinary service at the local level, complemented by meaningful involvement at the state and national levels. This REALTOR® has chaired Coastal’s Networking, Fundraising, Community Outreach, Grievance, and Finance committees, while also serving on the Public Relations, Strategic Planning, Spring Fling, and Golf committees. Her task-force work has touched some of the Association’s most important initiatives, including forms, CEO hiring, Bright MLS, SentriLock, Junior Achievement, and investment property matters. Beyond Coastal, she has served on Maryland REALTORS®’ Public Relations and Marketing and Forms committees, acted as a legislative REALTOR® liaison, assisted with the review of candidates for state leadership positions, and served on NAR’s Resort and Second Home Committee. For this honoree, leadership is inseparable from service. She spent three years as Habitat for Humanity’s fundraising chair and seven years on its Board of Directors, volunteered with Berlin Little League for 10 years and Worcester County schools for 16 years, and continues to serve through Keller Williams RED Day projects supporting Diakonia, Habitat for Humanity, and the Worcester County Humane Society. She has also been an RPAC Major Investor for four years—including the past two years at the Crystal R level—and remains committed to professional growth through numerous designations, certifications, C2EX, and volunteering to teach continuing education classes. Guided by integrity, cooperation, kindness, and a belief that success is measured not simply by sales, but by the trust she earns, the relationships she maintains, and the positive impact she makes, she represents the very best of the REALTOR® profession.
