Message from our President Mindy West

Greetings, fellow REALTORS® in the wild and wacky world of real estate! As your President, I couldn't resist the opportunity to bid a fond (or not-so-fond) farewell to 2023 and welcome you all aboard the crazy train that is 2024! Buckle up, because it's time to roll into the new year with humor, high spirits, and maybe a touch of real estate-induced madness!

As we leave the chaos of 2023 behind, let's take a moment to appreciate the resilience and creativity that got us through the challenges of the past. Remember that one deal that seemed to have more twists and turns than a daytime soap opera? Well, congratulations! You survived, and you're here to tell the tale!

As we navigate the uncharted territories of this new year, let's remember that, together, we are a force to be reckoned with. Our Association is a tribe of real estate warriors armed with market knowledge, negotiation skills, and an arsenal of witty comebacks for those challenging situations.  Let's face it, if we can survive a year like 2023, there's no transaction too daunting for us in 2024!

In 2024, networking and collaboration will play pivotal roles in your success. The real estate industry thrives on connections; and our Association will provide ample opportunities for you to forge valuable relationships with fellow professionals, industry experts, and potential clients. Attend our events, engage in discussions, and leverage the collective wisdom within our Association to propel your career forward!

As your President, my primary goal is to ensure that this year is not only productive but also incredibly enjoyable. So, what exactly does your favorite real estate Association have in store for you?

Events to Remember: Get ready for a lineup of events that are more entertaining than a bidding war! From our revamped Expo, now known as the REALTOR® Connection, to our famous Golf Tournament, we've curated a calendar that promises both professional development and a chance to unwind with your fellow real estate rockstars!

Continuing Education Extravaganza: Stay current, stay licensed! We are in a license renewal year, and our Association is committed to providing you with the latest in continuing education. Our Professional Development Committee has been hard at work creating new classes to keep us updated on the latest issues from legal to financial to environmental and many in between. Be sure to check out the schedule and get registered. Don’t wait until the last minute!

Networking Nirvana: Connect, collaborate, and conquer our networking opportunities. Whether it's a casual meetup or a formal event, the power of networking within our Association cannot be overstated. Forge relationships that will not only enrich your professional life but also make your real estate journey more enjoyable.

Adult Beverages & Banter: Because let's face it, after a day of negotiating, property showings, and paperwork, nothing beats unwinding with your colleagues over a glass of your beverage of choice. Look out for our networking events that might just involve a toast to your collective achievements.

Our PR & Marketing Committee will keep you informed of all upcoming events. Don’t miss a thing--follow us on social media!

So, here’s to a year of laughter, learning, and extremely successful transactions! Welcome to 2024!
