As President-Elect 2007 for my local Board of Realtors, Snohomish County Camano Association of Realtors®, (SCCAR), I'd like to share these facts with you:
Protecting Property Rights - REALTORS® believe that private property rights are fundamental to our free-market economic system and a cornerstone upon which this nation was founded. A strong economy depends upon preserving the right to freely own, use and transfer real property.
Ensuring Economic Vitality - REALTORS®believe a strong economy with full employment for our citizens throughout the state remains the single biggest key to our quality of life. A healthy economy sustains vibrant communities for living and working. Commerical, industrial and residential growth, in turn, sustains a healthy economy.
Providing Housing Opportunities - REALTORS® believe home ownership is the cornerstone of the American Dream and deserves a preferred place in our system of values. Home ownership contributes to community responsibility; civic, economic, business and employment stability; family security and well being. Every citizen has the right to safe, decent and affordable housing near where they work, shop and play, and that choice in style and location is critical to increasing home ownership.
Preserving Our Environment - REALTORS® recognize the incredible gift that Washington's natural environment offers to our state's citizens. Furthermore, we recognize the importance of parks, open space and the environment to our quality of life and therefore the marketability of surrounding property.
Building Better Communities - REALTORS® believe communities flourish best when they offer a high quality of life at a reasonable cost. To promote livable communities, governments should encourage quality growth through policies that provides the framework for a community's qualify of life, and lays the essential groundwork for accommodating quality commercial, industrial and residential growth.
