2005 Builder/REALTOR® Alliance Committee Report

Builders and REALTORS® - Breaking Ground Together

The BRAC objective is "to build better working relationships between builders and REALTORS®". We achieve this through networking and education. The 2005 Builder REALTOR® Alliance Committee broke new ground this year! We focused on three main objectives. Each person on the committee was to set a goal to meet 12 new people to encourage networking. Initially we had to jump start the networking by having people move around, then we got smart enough to offer prizes. So, yes people did network and yes, it has paid off. We took a bus tour of new communities in the central Ohio area. Having toured over 33 communities in one day was a great accomplishment. So, great that we challenge next year's committee members to continue the new tradition (in some form).

Lastly, our meeting agenda for each month walked the members through the entire sales and building process of a new home. This education process helped both sides express concerns and share positive experiences with each other, therefore helping each other grow.

Having great feedback from each session along with active participation from each person really helped this committee, as large as it was, set a new standard for a positive environment between Builders and REALTORS®.

Every month a different builder was able to sponsor a meeting and speak to an audience 100+ REALTORS®. The exposure to these committed REALTORS® really helped sow new and successful relationships we hope will be long lasting.

The Builder REALTOR® Alliance Committee has maintained great attendance with new inquiries for membership every month! We feel this year has been a super success.

Join our committee next year and see what it's all about.
