WESTERN NEW YORK REALTORS JOIN OTHER REALTORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO ‘SEIZE THE DAY’ FOR REAL ESTATE

-
Representatives from the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors (BNAR)  joined 18,000 other Realtors and guests from across the country at the REALTORS® Conference & Expo held in Anaheim, Calif., November 11–14. 
 The year’s meetings encouraged Realtors to “seize the day” for the real estate industry to defend and support the rights of homeowners and real estate investors across the nation.  Attendees participated in forums and shared their insights into the challenges and opportunities of local markets across the country, examined how changing political and economic landscapes are likely to affect the real estate industry, and networked with colleagues from across the U.S. and around the world.  
“Concerns about the general economy and state of the nation’s housing market have led some to question the value of owning a home,” said Alice Miranda, BNAR President. “Realtors know how important homeownership is to individuals, families, communities and our nation’s economy. As the leading advocate for private property rights, homeownership and housing issues, Realtors are committed to keeping housing first on the nation’s public policy agenda.” 
Throughout the week Realtors participated in forums, classes and workshops to gather the resources, information and skills necessary to help them positively influence their local communities and community leaders and help them effectively serve their buyer, seller and investor clients.  
National Association of Realtors 2011 President Ron Phipps, praised his fellow members for their resiliency in the face of a challenging year.  “Realtors are the future of real estate. This year’s conference has further solidified our commitment to keep the American dream of home ownership alive and accessible for future generations,” said Phipps.   
During the conference, Moe Veissi was installed as the 2012 NAR president.  Explaining his theme, “Realtors are at the heart of the deal,” Veissi said that in today’s climate, Realtors can be relied upon to fight for and defend consumers’ rights and opportunities to buy, sell and own real estate.  
“Realtors also had the chance to explore the latest industry innovations and stay up to date on how new products are transforming the real estate business, as approximately four hundred exhibitors showcased the newest real estate products and services for the industry during the trade expo,” added John Leonardi, BNAR’s Chief Executive Officer.
