Among those honored was Rachel Collins, director of sales for Pardee Homes. Collins was named Sales and Marketing Professional of the Year at the first-ever Icon Awards.
"The Icon Award is a well-deserved honor for Rachel, who has led our San Diego sales department for more than 17 years and oversees a team of 11 sales representatives at five active new home communities," said Gary Probert, senior vice president of sales for Pardee Homes.

The sold-out Icon Awards was held in September at Anthology in Little Italy and was co-hosted by the SMC with the Building Resources Council of the BIA. The event featured live entertainment, food and a program dedicated to showcasing the most outstanding people, projects, interior design and architecture from the past two years in San Diego.
