This monthās Valley Board of REALTORSĀ® meeting brought not one, but two pieces of exciting news for our Susitna Valley Realty brokerage. š
š£ Our very own Justin Howington was voted in as the newest Director on the Valley Board of RealtorsĀ®. A surprise to him, perhaps, but not to the rest of us. šš¼
The Board of Directors guides the local REALTORĀ® association. It sets priorities and policy, supports professional standards and education, and speaks up on issues that affect property owners across the Mat-Su.
š” Justin brings a perspective that doesn't always get a seat at the table: the Upper Valley. Willow, Caswell, Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, and beyond. These communities have their own land, access, and growth questions, and the people who live here deserve a voice in the conversations shaping Valley real estate. We can't think of anyone better to take on this role. Justin will be a voice for his fellow REALTORSĀ®, and he'll keep the buyers and sellers of our communities in mind every time he takes his seat.
š A super special congratulations to Ryan Manvsgold Cardoza, our newest associate, who took the REALTORĀ® oath at the same meeting.
Did you know not every licensed real estate profession is a REALTORĀ®? Ryan has officially joined the Valley Board of REALTORSĀ®, Alaska REALTORSĀ®, and the National Association of REALTORSĀ®. That membership comes with a pledge to uphold the REALTORĀ® Code of Ethics, a promise of honesty, professionalism, and putting clients first.
āŗļø These two gentlemen are humble and would never toot their own horns, but it sure is a proud day for the Susitna Valley Realtyās team. So, please help us congratulate them both in the comments! šš¼
