Did you know that the Masters Club was originally called the Million Dollar Club?

I learned this news as I was interviewing Marge Reid of Lyon Real Estate. She qualified for this club in 1969, which was the first year she was in real estate. Soon thereafter, the name of the club was changed to the Masters Club because the public mistakenly thought the REALTORS® were earning one million dollars!

Marge has continued in her strong sales and has qualified for Membership every year. She spends 50-60 hours per week working and credits all of her business to her satisfied clients sending her referrals. She also gives back to the community by serving on the public relations committee at UC Davis Medical Center. Three of her family members are also Lyon agents with over 20 years in the business.

Marge has 6 children and 13 grandchildren. Her goal has been to work hard so that she can plan family trips. Her favorite was a recent trip to Disneyland where she surprised everyone as 26 family members boarded a plane to spend Christmas at Disneyland.

In her spare time, she enjoys golfing. For Marge, the real enjoyment of her long career in real estate is solving problems – she thrives on these challenges and says that the more complicated the problems the better. She hasn’t lost her enthusiasm for real estate even in these challenging times.

2009 SAR President - Charlene Singley

They say time flies, and boy, does it! This year has gone so very quickly, and quite successfully too, I might add. The credit for any success has to be given to the nearly 200 individuals who volunteered during the year in so many ways.

When I asked how many individual people serve in one or more capacities, I was astounded when I was told it is nearly 200 people. And, in most cases, they don’t serve on only one committee. The generosity of spirit and time is truly inspiring.

First of all, I am the first to acknowledge that nothing in this association gets done without the absolute best staff in the entire state! The reason I always praise Nelson Janes at meetings is just because he does such an excellent job. He is the reason SAR maintains an even keel year after year. His leadership enables the association to hire and maintain such a high-quality staff. Each and every one works tirelessly on your behalf and I appreciate so very much everything they do for all of us.

The Education Committee stepped up the pace this year with many classes covering the hot button issues. The new Lunch & Learn classes have been extremely successful. Jeff Jurach and Denise Ross-Francom, the Chair and Vice-chair, and their committee members have done an excellent job.
