The Telluride Real Estate community has been off to a strong start in 2006 with progress that includes new real estate records being set monthly in both dollar volume and sale volume, a growing membership that has increased to 209 REALTORS®, a successful managing broker’s forum meeting to determine new, future advancements for the membership, and a decisive town of Telluride valley floor vote in favor of proceeding with condemnation. With such great momentum and activity, in this letter, I hope to touch on several individuals who continue to strengthen both the visions and the forward direction of our membership and our board.
Teddy Errico, our first time homebuyer representative and board secretary, continues to help guide our grant program, enabling more first time homebuyers an opportunity to own property in this area. With Teddy’s continued efforts, our REALTOR® contributions continue to grow locally as we also guide other real estate boards in Colorado to implement this program, helping to relieve the burden to homebuyers in their areas. Teddy is also spearheading our Memo updates, with the help of our TAR office, after each general membership meeting, as another great service to our members.
Matt Hintermeister, our second Colorado Association of REALTORS® Director and State Legislative representative, has been an incredible asset to our board team and continues to keep us abreast of all pertinent issues stemming from our state’s governmental activities and legislation that are pertinent to our local association. Matt has also been traveling to conferences on the behalf of the board to gather information on new legislation and technology that could affect the way we do our business. We are grateful for his efforts in increasing our awareness of Realtor related current events.
Eric Saunders, our PR Chairperson, has helped to both manage and create several great programs for our community this year. Eric not only coordinated our first TAR highway clean-up but also put together our second annual first time homebuyer’s workshop. It takes a great deal of effort and perseverance to make these events occur, and, with the help of the TAR office, we found great success in providing these services to our community. Eric has also coordinated the listing of our REALTOR® volunteer activities on the TAR website— please visit www.telluriderealtors.net to make sure that your information is listed and is accurate. And, thanks to the almost 20 individuals who participated in the May 10th highway clean-up.
Banks Brown, our MLS Director, has been instrumental in helping to educate our membership on the Paragon system that was implemented last summer. Banks, with the help our MLS coordinator Amanda Martin, has also been addressing comments from the membership and working to fine tune the system so it is realized at its maximum potential for our usage.
As we move into spring and summer, our board’s main goals remain focused on helping to both find and create more affordable housing opportunities in the immediate area, to promote the businesses of our affiliate membership, to increase continuing education class opportunities, and to offer technological advancements and enhancements to improve the ways in which our membership does its business. At any time, our board’s door is open to questions, comments, or ideas— please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you.
Sincerely,
Kim Havell
