City Council honors Realtor as Citizen of the Month

Las Vegas Realtor Andy Stahl and his wife Linzy were honored by the Las Vegas City Council as its Citizens of the Month, recognizing their ongoing service to the community.

Las Vegas City Councilwoman Nancy E. Brune nominated the Stahls and presented them with the monthly award at the Jan. 3 City Council meeting, praising their years of community service.

Andy and Linzy Stahl volunteer their time and talents to a wealth of good causes. Examples range from teaching Sunday school classes and sponsoring local Little League teams to leading annual trips to Tijuana, Mexico, to build homes for those less fortunate. They recently restored an electric wheelchair for a local woman with an illness. They also support local charities such as Horses for Heroes, Blind Center of Las Vegas and Olive Crest, a charity working to end child abuse and neglect and supporting foster families. They’re regular blood donors and volunteer at the Gilcrease Orchard in the northwest part of Las Vegas.

Stahl, the broker and owner of Raintree Real Estate, also volunteers his time to Las Vegas Realtors, where he has served as a trustee of the association’s Realtor Political Action and Political Advisory Committees.

Las Vegas Realtors (formerly known as Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors) was founded in 1947 and provides its nearly 17,000 local members with education, training and political representation. The local representative of the National Association of Realtors, LVR is the largest professional organization in Southern Nevada.
