JAY MITCHELL: PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
In case y’all missed it, 2025 has started Too late to do your planning for the year its’ already underway
We are all about working to help you…and part of that is getting out and about to see you and answer questions/offer assistance if we can.
Our focus is hyper-local. That’s what we can do best for all of us. All real estate is local, just like all politics. To that end, we are making sure we get the word out about Who We R, what we do, what we stand for. Media coverage is part of that…already, we have gotten some nice coverage of our Installation; then President-elect Phil Kazmierczak and I were guests January 6 on The Hampton Roads Show on WAVY; and at least one TV news story includes HRRA and the outlook for 2025 business (Which we believe is robust, by the way) And it’s only January!
We will be on TV more…along with some of you! Our awards this year will be highlighted on WAVY rather than in the local newspaper. Digital and video is where people are finding us, and we need to be there big-time. We are ramping up our social media presence to make sure people are aware of how awesome REALTOR®S are and what we bring to the table Watch for the local media campaigns They are being built, and you will be seeing them very soon
As a vibrant and strong association, HRRA is poised to provide outstanding service to all our members, and by extension those we serve as we seek to help people make good decisions and live the American Dream. Our focus at HRRA continues to include topflight education opportunities; advocacy that is second to none; and an attention to social connections that provide for fun, inclusion and diversity. Because That’s Who We R!
We don’t do it alone…our state and national colleagues are a big part of helping us get where we need to be and while our focus here will be truly hyper-local, we MUST rely on some talent and treasure that comes from more than just here at home in order to gain perspective and knowledge.
We look forward to seeing and talking with every single one of you we can be in front of! Your leadership team is committed to continuing your engagement with real estate, HRRA, VAR and NAR.
Because That’s Who We R!
