.REALTOR Domain Launch

Coming October 23!

The New .REALTOR Domain 


The National Association of Realtors®' new .REALTOR top-level domain will be available October 23, 2014 to members of NAR and the Canadian Real Estate Association.

The Internet is undergoing vast changes with the creation of over 1,900 new top-level domains, and with nine out of 10 recent buyers beginning their home search online, it has become even more critical for Realtors® to create a branded space online.

 

The .REALTOR domain will help Realtors® stand apart from other real estate professionals, creating a more positive online experience for consumers who are searching for information on buying or selling property. Having a .REALTOR domain will inform consumers that they are working with a Realtor®, a trusted real estate professional who subscribes to NAR's strict Code of Ethics.

 

"This is truly an exciting time for NAR members to be on the cutting edge of Internet technology," said NAR President Steve Brown, co-owner of Irongate, Inc. Realtors® in Dayton, Ohio. "NAR is one of the first associations to be approved to offer a top-level domain for its membership, demonstrating our organization's commitment to its members and showcasing the value of the Realtor® brand. When consumers visit a .REALTOR website they will know that they have reached a source of comprehensive and accurate real estate information as well as someone with unparalleled insight into the local market."

Contest of the Month - RESULTS

GBAR "Where's Waldo" Contest Winners 

NYSAR Logo
  
In the last issue of the REALTOR® Review, we asked you to click through to the latest issue of  NYSAR's Bi-monthly Magazine, the New York State REALTOR®, and find three photos of GBAR Officers within the magazine.  Two of the photos were a piece of cake to find - GBAR President Tommy Reid and Executive Officer Barry Arnold were featured prominently in the page 16 article on Lobby Day in Albany, and the same picture was found on page 3 in the Table of Contents.  The hard part was finding the third photo, which included one of those Officers in a group photo.
 
Lots of readers found the first two photos, but only 2 readers were able to find Barry Arnold in the group photo on page 7 with Senator Charles Schumer. Congratulations go out to:
  • Lisa Viglione of 1st Priority Mortgage, and
  • John Duell of McKinney Real Estate
As promised for their efforts, Lisa and John now enjoy the admiration of all GBAR Members and Staff for eternity.  Congratulations!

Thomas Bronk

As I was finishing up my Bachelor's Degree in Business Management, I chose an elective course that sounded interesting: Real Estate Transactions. That course sparked my interest in real estate. During that time, I met a girl named Erika from Owego, NY. After graduation, I moved to Owego and needed to find a job. It was the perfect time to start selling real estate. I received my license and began working for Realty USA in April of 2003 and was married to Erika by that October.  On St. Patrick's Day, 2006, we gave birth to our best friend, Owen. Erika and Owen are the reason behind everything I do and every decision I make. Quite frankly, they make me the person I am today.

 

Well into in my 11th year as an agent, I've seen a lot of changes to our industry. At this point in my career, I want to be part of those changes to ensure that they:


 

1. Make sense

2. Protect our future

3. Benefit the Association as a whole

4. Make us more efficient

5. Make us more knowledgeable

6. Make us more valuable


 

I am an active member of the MLS Committee, the Realtor/Attorney Committee and the Grievance Committee. With a focus on making positive changes that will protect our Association and our careers, I will work diligently to represent you and your best interests. Now, along with Erika and Owen, you and our Association of Realtors, will be the reason behind every decision I make.

Associate Broker 1997
Designations:

NYSAR Director
Agent Leadership Council (ALC) 
  
I moved to the Southern Tier in 1996 when my husband, Bob, began teaching at Maine-Endwell High School. Since then I have been affiliated with Trevitt Realtors which became Keller Williams Realty in 2011. I work with our agents, mentoring and coaching them. I teach in my office in Vestal as well as the Horseheads Market Center. I am a member of the ALC (Agent Leadership Council) which is comprised of the top 20% of producers in the Market Center. I sing in our church Choir, have been involved in Marriage Preparation (Pre-Cana) programs. I am an avid reader, enjoy time with family . 
  
My goal for the 2015 year as President of the Board will be to live the motto of our Board: "Believing in Our Community". Through the hard work of all our volunteer committee groups and members, we have shown our local community that we are more than just Realtors. We do believe that our towns, and neighborhoods are valuable to the people who live there. We believe in giving back, and have through many fund raising functions over the past years. We will continue to support these communities where we live as well.  We have an outstanding group of agents, brokers and affiliates who give of their time,  energy and money to make things happen. Voluntarism is vital to keeping our board functioning. Our membership depends on it! I would ask any Realtor member to look at our Association and find a group to work with, check out the monthly meeting and  sit in. Meetings  are all posted on the GBAR Web Site. Add your 2 cents, ($5.00 adjusted for inflation). We NEED you and your input to remain the GREAT Association we have become. THANK YOU to all who contribute so richly to our membership! I am available to anyone who would like to discuss how they can become more involved in the Association. Please call or email me anytime. 

 

Patricia (Trish) Mulrooney  

 

I feel that I would be an asset to the association as a Director. I wholeheartedly believe that it is our duty to give back to the association that we are a part of. I look forward to helping to make positive changes to our association. As real estate professionals, we thrive on change and improvement!

 

I truly believe in education. Be it personal or professional, I believe that it progresses you as a person and as a professional to continually work on yourself.

I have served on the GBAR Board of Directors for the past 4 years and have been the President for the past 2 consecutive years.  During that time I have always looked out for what is in the best interest of you, the members.  Sometimes those decisions were not easy or popular but they were done with you and your business in mind.  If you elect me to serve on the Board of Directors to your Association for the next 4 years I will continue to make the best decisions for the membership as a whole.  Even though we are competitors in this industry we are in it together.
