This is my third year as a Director on our NOMAR Board, where I also have served for two years on the Executive Committee. I am asking for your vote to continue working on your behalf on the NOMAR Board.

My goal is always to look at every discussion and decision that the NOMAR Board undertakes with fresh eyes, an unbiased view and a vantage point of how it will affect our membership, both in the near and long term. It’s also important to consider how our decisions will affect agents, small brokers and the largest in our collective.

We have a sensational staff in place that works diligently on our behalf.  As a Board member, I help shape the direction of our organization and represent all of you who, like myself, are on the streets conducting real estate business every day. I am always here for you and welcome your calls, emails or texts any time about any subject.

It would be my honor and privilege to serve on the NOMAR Board of Directors.  Housing has been my career, both in and out of real estate.  I have been an agent for over 15 years and have attended many classes, obtaining my designations.  I feel that my experience in real estate gives me the will to make laws concerning the appropriate methods to get the job done.  Getting agents' trust, to bring matters of concern to the board, is a high priority.

KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY PROFESSIONALS

I've been a REALTOR® for nearly 12 years, starting in the Baton Rouge market before moving in to Greater New Orleans in 2009. One of my strengths is bringing an objective opinion to the table- one that benefits the greater good, even when it doesn't necessarily benefit myself. In addition to creating, moderating and maintaining the Matrix Member Help Page and the New Orleans Mastermind page on Facebook, I've made a commitment to attend Board meetings, and serve on committees when asked in my previous two years on the NOMAR Board of Directors. Providing this service is both a privilege and honor that I ask you to allow me to continue.

Having served on GSREIN (MLS) Board for the past 6 years and serving as GSREIN President for 2 years, I know the value of our Boards at NOMAR. I look to bring that same mantra to NOMAR’s board—bringing more value to our growing membership. I enjoy working in the industry not only as a Broker/Owner, but as an volunteer advocate for our local Boards. Vote Craig for Cutting Edge Change.
