Celebrating miracles…and a merger

Crossing the finish line at Saturday’s Miles for Miracles 5-K Run-Walk at Invesco Field are Jack O’Connor, left, Leeann Iacino and Alan J. Smith, each a principal owner of the new RE/MAX Professionals, which merged last week with Prestige Real Estate Group. Iacino, Prestige’s president, will lead the new company comprising 530 agents from Denver, Arapahoe, Jefferson and Douglas Counties. Smith, a partner in the original RE/MAX Professionals, became one of the first RE/MAX agents to join in Miles for Miracles, an annual benefit for Prestige Miracles Foundation, launched by Prestige agents to meet health related crises faced by Colorado families.
PMF, established in 2001 when one agent’s daughter contracted leukemia, has raised a half million dollars over its history for Children’s Hospital and hundreds of recipient families, according to Iacino. Its role is expected to expand with the new merger.
