It Pays to Get Involved

2011 SAR President Doug Covill

When we talk about the value of your Membership at SAR, we usually focus on the tangible and intangible benefits. There are personal benefits, too.

Education, mediation, discounts on office supplies and political representation are just a few of the ways you benefit from your investment in SAR. If you want more detail, a complete list is at www.sacrealtor.org/benefits.

What is not on that list is personal benefits. For starters, every good business person really should give back to their industry and give back to their community. When you do, it makes you a better person. It also makes you a better REALTOR®.

The more we get out and do things for the community, the more helpful it is for all REALTORS®. We always want to be building our image, but we want to build our community too. We do more than sell homes – we sell community.

There’s a new column in this newsletter starting this month – “REALTORS® In the Community.” You’ve always been very generous with your time and money, and this column will highlight that.

We do so much work on the political scene for our industry too. Our lobbyists are always looking for the changes in laws and regulations that will affect your ability to do business, and that could be bad for private property rights and private property values.

2009 SAR President - Charlene Singley

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.
