Manhattan Beach REALTOR® Steve Goddard to head 2010 C.A.R. Leadership Team LOS ANGELES (Nov. 17) – REALTOR® Steve Goddard will head the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (C.A.R.) 2010 Leadership Team, C.A.R. announced today. REALTOR® Beth L. Peerce will serve as the Association’s president-elect, REALTOR® Don Faught as treasurer, and Joel Singer as state secretary. C.A.R.’s 2010 Leadership Team began their official term this week at the close of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) Conference and Expo in San Diego, Calif. REALTOR® Steve Goddard is a broker and manager at RE/MAX Marquee Partners in Manhattan Beach, Calif. He began selling real estate 35 years ago, specializing in selling and leasing residential real estate, residential income properties, and commercial buildings. Goddard also is a developer and a licensed general contractor. During the past 28 years, he has consistently ranked among the top 10 agents in his company’s group of more than 400 agents. Over the past 17 years, he has chaired or served on myriad committees and forums at the local, state, and national association level. As president of C.A.R., one of Goddard’s goals is to shed light on housing-related issues, including the rights of private-property owners, and housing affordability at the local, state, and national levels. C.A.R. is rolling out new and newly revised standard forms today.

Member: The past few weeks have been very favorable for home buyers, our profession, and the real estate industry. President Obama on Friday signed a bill extending and expanding the federal tax credit for home buyers through April 30, 2010, and on Oct. 30 signed a resolution extending the current limits for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA loans through the end of next year. These successes were a teaching moment for us all on the impact we can make in Washington when we unite behind a common cause. We called for action, and you delivered. California REALTORS® placed nearly 25,000 calls or e-mails to their congressional representatives, urging them to extend and expand the home buyer tax credit. Passage of legislation critical to our profession also underscored the importance of being politically involved, at the local, state, and national levels. It’s why I’ve been personally involved in our Association’s advocacy efforts for many years, and why I back up my commitment with an annual contribution to the REALTOR® Action Fund.
