VIP Sanibel & Captiva Realtors Attend Annual Convention

You only have to turn to your favorite internet news source , watch TV  or read a paper to be reminded of all the challenges facing Realtors, especially this year.   Inventory shortages,  changes in regulations, and technological advances and adaptations are just the tip of the iceberg.   Without the right support, tools and education, a Realtor could quickly  become overwhelmed.   Fortunately,  VIP Realtors are proactive and continuously learning and enhancing their skills in order to better serve their clients.  For example, a large contingent of VIP Realtors attended the Florida Realtors Annual Convention and Trade Show in Orlando, August 21-22.  Attending a meeting of this professional organization provides a wide range of benefits including knowledge sharing, updates on industry trends, and skill and problem-solving development.  All of this is done with extensive knowledge of the Florida market that only an organization with over 100 years of experience could have.

Afterall, FloridaRealtors® was founded in 1916 in Jacksonville.  Today, it is based in Orlando and has grown to become the largest professional trade association in the state with more than 238,000 members. As a matter of fact, it’s the largest in the country!  The original goal of bringing order, fairness and professionalism to the real estate industry in Florida, continues.  For example, Florida Realtors® keeps a close eye on some 3600 pieces of legislation each year that could impact property owners in Florida.   No one person could possibly manage that! 

Our Realtors, including Janka Varmuza and Jayne Lumley, attended the Convention and have returned educated and energized!  As Board members of Sanibel and Captiva Island Association of Realtors (SCIAR), 3 VIP Realtors will lead that local organization  by collaborating and sharing the knowledge they acquired in Orlando.  Those SCIAR leaders are Becky Mulka, President-Elect, Tina DiCharia, Treasurer,  and Connie Walters, Member-at-Large.  Congratulations and thank you for your continued commitment to your profession, your colleagues and our beautiful islands.

Our  VIP Realtors are ready to tackle any real estate challenges you face and want to help you find the home of your dreams on our slice of paradise, Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  Stop and visit anytime!  We are open daily for your convenience:  Monday – Saturday:  9 AM – 5 PM; Sunday: 10 AM – 5 PM.
