History of Pasadena-Foothills Association of REALTORS
The Association was founded as the Pasadena Realty Board in 1907 and incorporated in 1922 with the purpose of promoting good fellowship and fair dealing within the industry.
Over the years, our objectives have expanded to provide members with the tools, education and opportunities to succeed; to adhere to and enforce the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS; to preserve and promote real property rights; and to serve as a constructive force in the improvement of the quality of life within the community.
In 1997, the Pasadena-Foothills Association of REALTORS was formed as a result of mergers among three boards – Pasadena, San Marino-South Pasadena and the Foothills (comprised of La Canada Flintridge, La Crescenta and Sunland-Tujunga). The formation of Pasadena-Foothills Association of REALTORS provides REALTORS and the public with an even stronger voice in the protection and promotion of private property rights while fostering the ultimate American dream of home ownership.
The Association has built an industry-wide reputation of being one of the strongest real estate boards in the nation. We have produced four Presidents of the California Association of REALTORS (CAR) and an Executive Officer of California Association of REALTORS and the National Association of REALTORS.
With sweeping changes in technology, more and more businesses are changing the way they operate. The real estate industry is just beginning to take advantage of technology, creating greater opportunities as more consumers turn to the online marketplace. To better serve our members, the Pasadena-Foothills Association of REALTORS is undertaking a major project to implement technology into our organization. The result will be even greater efficiency and more services to our members.
