This monthโs Valley Board of REALTORSยฎ meeting brought not one, but two pieces of exciting news for our Susitna Valley Realty brokerage. ๐
๐ฃ Our very own Justin Howington was voted in as the newest Director on the Valley Board of Realtorsยฎ. A surprise to him, perhaps, but not to the rest of us. ๐๐ผ
The Board of Directors guides the local REALTORยฎ association. It sets priorities and policy, supports professional standards and education, and speaks up on issues that affect property owners across the Mat-Su.
๐ก 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 REALTORSยฎ, and he'll keep the buyers and sellers of our communities in mind every time he takes his seat.
๐ A super special congratulations to Ryan Manvsgold Cardoza, our newest associate, who took the REALTORยฎ oath at the same meeting.
Did you know not every licensed real estate profession is a REALTORยฎ? Ryan has officially joined the Valley Board of REALTORSยฎ, Alaska REALTORSยฎ, and the National Association of REALTORSยฎ. That membership comes with a pledge to uphold the REALTORยฎ Code of Ethics, a promise of honesty, professionalism, and putting clients first.
โบ๏ธ These two gentlemen are humble and would never toot their own horns, but it sure is a proud day for the Susitna Valley Realtyโs team. So, please help us congratulate them both in the comments! ๐๐ผ
