What special or unique characteristics do you feel you would bring to the Director position that would most benefit HAR's members?

In my current positions with HAR, TR, and NAR, I am already classed as an Ambassador for the Houston Association of Realtors. I take immense pleasure in educating members about the tools and advantages we have with our MLS and speaking engagements with teams, brokerages, and associations nationwide. When I travel to Europe, I am not seen as an NAR Ambassador but as a Texan from Houston.

What do you believe is the greatest challenge facing our industry today?

Our main challenge is educating our members about what HAR offers and what changes they can expect. On numerous occasions, I have been confronted with agents and brokers who had no idea that HAR, TR, and NAR have global interests. We must strive to increase the turnout at main HAR events like Global Day & Engage and education participation.
