An Event Recap and Schedule of Events for Colorado REALTORS®

SO MUCH GOLF!

Vail Board of REALTORS® welcomed Theresa Harvey, Jonathan Griggs, Jason Witt (2023 CAR President-Elect), and Keith Kanemoto (2013 CAR President) to its ten annual fold tournament. The Vail Board of REALTORS® Foundation raises funds from the tournament to support the community, non-profit organizations, and VBR members with need-based financial assistance, education, and disaster relief. VBRF also has an annual academic scholarship, and we give financial support to several local nonprofits. The Four Corners Board of REALTORS® hosted its annual Dean Hanson Golf Tournament, which is in its 34th year of raising scholarship funds for local high school graduates. Thanks to Jason Witt, 2023 CAR President-Elect; Marjorie Genova, 2023 CAR Western District Vice President; Lynn Gillespie, 2022 CAR Western District Vice President), and CAR leadership for support in the community. Durango Area REALTOR® Association held its annual Helping Hands (Mini) Golf tournament in September. REALTOR® members raised more than $14,000, which will be granted to area nonprofits. The tournament’s “course” takes place at different local brokerage offices and businesses. Not to be missed holes were the toilet dunk tank and the fire engine chute. The winning foursome was the “Spice Girls,” Heather Feistner, Gayle Webster, Payton Randle, Ashley Truitt, and Heather Erb. See an album of the whole adventure here.

Our Senior Population of REALTORS®:

CO: In our company, for the older agent whose been in the business for 30 years, we pair them with younger agents. And one of these seasoned agents said that the best thing they ever did was bring on two younger agents, because I know they care about my clients as much as I do. With these two younger people on that agent’s team, that book of business that has been built for 30 years is not lost. And the agent who has been in business for a long time gets to go to Paris on vacation.

SK: Yes, you are keeping institutional knowledge alive. You are offering them an opportunity to not work as hard as they once did, but they are still involved and so you are creating a mentor.

CAR’s Strategic Thinking Committee provides feedback to the CAR Leadership Council by identifying, analyzing, and providing input on emerging issues and the competitive landscape regarding the industry and association.

NAR LEADERS IN ACTION

Kenny Parcell, NAR President Elect went to Ukraine recently to support Ukranians. According to the Facebook group “Realtors for Ukraine,” “Kenny slept a maximum of three to four hours a night. There were many transfers. Worked at full volunteer centers. He had meetings with dozens of my colleagues. He helped in hospitals and on construction sites after rocket attacks, in orphanages and volunteer centers, in tent camps and in shelters. Not for PR, but at the call of the heart and soul. He also met with representatives of the authorities, both central and regional.”
