NAR Recognizes CFR as Leading the Nation in Broker Participation

 WILMINGTON (Sept 5, 2017) "I know of no other local association in the nation that even comes near Cape Fear  
Realtor's® level of participation in the Broker Involvement Program" said Susie Helm, VP for Advocacy Operations &  Communication, last Tuesday at a NAR-hosted Broker Reception in Wilmington. Speaking to a group of about 50 brokers, Helm provided an update on national issues, outlined national advocacy strategies, and thanked CFR for its efforts in the advocacy arena. "It is critical for Realtors® to collectively speak through their associations as the distinct voice for real estate," she explained to a group of brokers during the mix-and-mingle portion of the evening. "It is one of our primary reasons for existence."  She also acknowledged CFR's recent receipt of the National Community Outreach Award from NAR for outreach.
