"Stephanie was a friend and colleague of the Happy House Hunters and was instrumental in our Happy House Hunters Mastermind and our FREE meetups!


She loved the real estate profession so much, and was always available and willing to help even the most novice investor among us.


Her contagious passion and over-the-top energy always made her a favorite!


You can still find her recordings available in the FREE Happy House Hunters meetup section and the Happy House Hunters Mastermind section of the Kathy Binner International Academy.


Fly high my friend... We will always love and miss you!"

Dawn McCabe

2023 Recipient



Dawn realizes that her community is quickly being overwhelmed by large investors turning properties into Airbnb's. While she understands that this is the demand in the Hocking Hills area, she also realizes what hardship this is putting on long-term residents looking for homes. Dawn's goal would be to help those homebuyers who want to make this area their home. She wants to also help in the area of commercial real estate in her hometown. There are a lot of vacant storefronts and commercial areas that could contribute to the local economy. She would love to be a part of the solution to revitalize the area and help to sponsor local events in the community as well.

Kyle Huber

2024 Recipient




Kyle is focused on partnering with real estate investors and growing his own investment portfolio. With a lifelong background in new builds, having worked as a subcontractor alongside his grandfather and father, Kyle brings a wealth of experience to the table. He has spent his entire life living on a farm, and his ultimate goal is to generate enough income to preserve the farm, allowing his four kids to enjoy the same carefree childhood he had—playing in creeks and chasing cattle when they escape.
