Realtors have a dual role in their industry as the way I see it. In tough and uneasy times, the good realtors continue doing their best, giving their best to help their community ride the storms of financial turmoil without monetary reward. And now is that time for realtors to come to the aid of both their clients and the place where they live by being a binding force and keeping a fiduciary responsibility forefront of their own needs. Be active in the community, be a voice in the politics at the grassroots level, join a committee which benefits the city or neighborhood, produce a neighborhood newsletter and stick to it, note and voice changes in the school system, meet and greet the political leaders, report changes in interest rates and join the local chamber. Realtors can have a dramatic influence as a binding force and as a prudent fiduciary confidante.

Robert, I've found that many times I have had to give up personal gain for the fiduciary responsibility that is owed and required in our profession. Although I have also found that Karma brings back to me my sacrifices in abundance many times over. Thank you.

In times of good and bad we are still Realtors. We have a great undertaking to say the least. But we must always keep our standards!

Robert,
Well said. We all need to get the correct word out, because the media will not.
