President's Message, from Linda Simpson
October 2007
I am proud to serve as the 62nd President of the Prince George's Association of REALTORS®. My term began on October 1, 2007 and expires on September 30, 2008. I have selected as my theme for the year "REALTORS® WORKING HAND IN HAND FOR THE COMMUNITY." We are here to serve you and keep you up to date on laws and services that will assist you in your real estate business. My goals for the year are geared toward accomplishing this goal.
PGCAR is the largest trade Association in Prince Georges's County and the 2nd largest local REALTOR® Association in Maryland. We have a long and proud history, having served the Prince George's real estate community for over 74 years. The programs, products, and services provided by your Association are diverse. We pride ourselves on being an integral part of creating a successful business environment for 5000+ professionals who work diligently to help residents of Prince George's County realize the dream of home ownership.
PGCAR offers many benefits to its members. Amongst the benefits are the Supra Lock box system; MRIS, our regional multiple listing system; Zip Forms; a centrally located Association Office where the REALTOR® Store is located; and classrooms for continuing Education Classes.
