       Realtors celebrate 60 years
         An advertisement from the late 1990s
       reads, “With the turn of the century just
       around the corner, Realtors need to be
       aware of how fast things are changing.
       Email and the internet are in 45% of
       homes in America today.... Let’s try to
       make it the goal that every Realtor in our
       association has an email address by the
       year 2000.”
         The idea of professionals not even
       having an email address may baffle you,
       as it is something we see as basic as
       simply having a license today. That was
       the reality for some professionals in our
       community a mere 21 years ago. Nev-
       ertheless, Realtors locally organized 39
       years prior to that to find new and ex-
       citing ways to promote home ownership
       and better serve the public.
         The old ways of doing business are
       often lost in the digital age. Celebrat-
       ing our very own 60th birthday gives us
       the chance to see how the professionals
       of yesterday helped shape the nuanced
       landscape we enjoy today.

       to our official celebration of our associ-                                                                                   Contributed photo

       Association of Realtors was chartered
       on Nov. 1, 1961, and has since been home
       to hundreds of Realtors, local business
       owners, and affiliates who stepped up to
       enforce and update our Code of Ethics,
       provide resources for homeowners in
       our area, create a multiple listing service
       for agents to advertise customers’ prop-
       erties, provide training for agents and
       affiliates, and ultimately serve as a guide,
       resource, and mode of protecting home-
       ownership and private property rights in
       our area.
         RCAR serves residents and agents
       throughout Southeast Tennessee in
       Bradley, McMinn, Polk, Rhea, Meigs,
       and Bledsoe Counties.

       who served before us, some of which are
       still in attendance today. Members also
       got to flip through the old MLS books
       that were published prior to any online
       system. We saw the groundbreaking cer-
       emony for our new Association office in
       2000 and the accomplishments of gen-
       erations of previous members who were
       all set on the same goal: making RCAR
       better for everyone. Bender Realty even
       humored us all by bringing in one of

the property-buying or
selling process, no one
else can offer the service
of a certified REAL-
TOR®.

Seven reasons
to work with
a REALTOR®
  REALTORS® are not
just agents. They are
professional members
of the National Associ-
ation of REALTORS®
and subscribe to its strict
Code of Ethics. This is the
REALTOR® difference
for home buyers:
1. Ethical Treatment
  Every REALTOR®
must adhere to a strict
code of ethics, which is
based on professionalism
and protection of the
public.
  As a REALTOR®’s cli-
ent, you can expect hon-
est and ethical treatment
in all transaction-related
matters. The first obliga-
tion is to you, the client.
2. An Expert Guide
  Buying a home usually
requires dozens of forms,
reports, disclosures, and
other technical docu-
ments.
  A knowledgeable expert
will help you prepare
the best deal, and avoid
delays or costly mistakes.
Also, there is a lot of jar-
gon involved, so you want
to work with a profes-
sional who can speak the
language.
