Jon Gorey

2018 - Best Collection of Work by an Individual Covering Residential Real Estate (Silver)

Judges: “This group of stories addressed discrimination against families in the rental market and the impact of climate change on Boston’s waterfront properties. Gorey provides both the broad strokes and intimate touches that bring these stories to life. Informative and alarming.”

2018 - Best Architecture Story

Awarded bronze for "When Sears Sold the American Dream," published in the Boston Globe. Judges called it "a fresh, modern take on post-WWI Sears mail-order homes." http://realestate.boston.com/news/2017/07/27/when-sears-sold-the-american-dream/

2018 - Best Economic Analysis

Awarded an honorable mention for "The Fix Is Out," published in the Boston Globe: http://realestate.boston.com/home-improvement/2017/07/06/despite-concern-for-environment-americans-adopt-throwaway-mentality/ Judges: "Well-written, entertaining and smart economic analysis of why we replace rather than repair the many things in our lives.”

2019 - President's Gold Award for Best Freelance Collection

Judges said, "Gorey’s work is impressive and wide-ranging – from economic analysis to reader service stories that give homeowners valuable and actionable advice. His deftly written and deeply reported stories most often appear in the Boston Globe. Gorey shines most with his unique angles on mundane topics, such as his story about home tax breaks and how they have shaped architectural trends over the centuries. He writes conversationally and with humor when appropriate, such as in his stories and blog posts about do-it-yourself projects in old homes – including his."
