Monday, November 17, 2008 was a very big day for me professionally. I was named a member of the Rockland Count Board of Realtors (RCBOR) for a two year term. It is very gratifying to realize that after only four years of practicing real estate in Rockland that I would be unanimously elected to our industry’s county governing board by a group of my peers.
RCBOR exists to help buyers, sellers and their realtors resolve complaints, hear and rule on ethics violations and arbitrate disputes involving real estate transactions. It is the first line of defense for the principles of honesty and fair play that are sometimes flaunted by Realtors. It is also a defender of innocent realtors who are unfairly accused by clients or other realtors when real estate deals go bad.
RCBOR also provides resources for realtors in the areas of sales training, brokerage and appraisal qualifying, classes in ethics, licensing laws, and many other subjects, all of which is intended to further the professionalism of realtors in Rockland County.
I am very proud to be a part of this organization, because I believe in those principles it seeks to protect. I pledge to do whatever I can to make Rockland County a great place to buy and sell real estate.
