I've been a Realtor since 1976 and I'm a believer.

I believe that the most important duty we have as Realtors has not changed since the day I joined DAR.

Realtors play an indispensable role in helping people achieve one of the most important acquisitions in their lives and that is the purchase of a home in which to live. I believe that Realtors SELL home ownership, not homes.

My wish for each DAR member in 2011 is for you to be successful in helping your prospects achieve the American Dream. Believe in your job.

Home ownership does matter!

I'm sure that 2010 DAR President Denise Stewart and the members of DAR's board of Directors are with me when we say. "Happy New Year to you and may all your escrows close!"
