The Florida Association of Realtors(R) (FAR), the state’s largest professional association, recently installed its 2009 officers:

The association also installed 13 new district vice presidents, who represent different areas of the state.

The new state association leaders say that they will work to make sure the FAR voice is heard in 2009, regarding legislative, regulatory, economic, international, property rights and other issues of interest not only to Florida Realtors, but to all of the state’s residents and visitors.

2009 FAR President Shelton says she wants to help Florida Realtors “demonstrate to consumers that using a Realtor adds value to their real estate transactions - that having a well-trained, well-educated, professional Realtor work on their behalf is one of the wisest, most sound business decisions they can make.”

*Editor’s note: CCIM, CRE, CRB, CRS and GRI are acronyms representing Realtor designations and certifications demonstrating a real estate professional’s commitment to advanced education and training to better meet the needs of the consumers. A National Association of Realtors(R) (NAR) designation or certification lets buyers and sellers know that a Realtor has expertise in a given area. CCIM stands for Certified Commercial Investment Member; CRE stands for Counselor of Real Estate; CRB stands for Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager; CRS stands for Certified Residential Specialist; and GRI stands for Graduate, Realtor Institute.
