The RAHB Board of Directors and Nomination (Election) Committee are moving forward with a change in philosophy of how we identify members who are well qualified as directors and how we encourage them to run for the Board. As the time when RAHB will be seeking candidates for the 2013 Board of Directors is fast approaching, members should understand what is behind this change and what our goals are.

The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported the residential market saw a 13.5 per cent increase in average sale price in August compared to the same month last year. Median sale prices also saw gains over August of last year.
Because “REALTOR®” is a registered trade mark, there are rules for use that must be followed whenever and wherever it is used. CREA, the owner of the trademark, and RAHB have a responsibility to enforce the rules so that the word does not lose its meaning and become a generic term for all real estate practitioners.
The word “REALTOR®” refers only to a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association. It should never be used to refer to a real estate agent, broker or salesperson.
Following are excerpts from CREA’s Trademark Manual posted on REALTORLink®. (more…)

The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington would like to extend a warm welcome to the newest members.
