2021 NABOR President, Wayne Setliff |

First, I want to thank the officers and Board of Directors for their leadership, guidance and friendship through 2020. This past year there were many obstacles and challenges for the Realtor® community, our neighbors, and our families on the Northshore. The leadership, I believe, rose to the challenge and provided support and vision throughout the year. We quickly pivoted to provide services online via video conferences and orientation when appropriate. We transitioned between virtual and in person training and consulting as dictated throughout the year. We procured and moved to a new location that will allow for continued support, to include a training and conference room and added staff to better serve you, our customers. For these things and many more, I say thank you to Steve Hayes and all the Officers, Board of Directors and Staff at NABOR.
Moving into 2021, there are still challenges that we will be facing both as a professional organization and in each of own businesses. Our mission is to always strive to bring innovation and professional leadership to our association. Through training and education, we can help elevate our profession, make each of our associates feel empowered, and continue to support our community. NABOR has listened to our Brokers and is poised to launch a statewide Multiple Listing Service that is broker and association owned, broker lead and agent centric. This MLS will provide statewide exposure for all listings and provide a Nationwide presence complete with a lead generation model designed to return the leads to the listing agent. The transition should be relatively quick and will provide an option for Realtor® members across the state.
As we move forward, NABOR is proud to be your board of choice. We do not take that lightly. We will continue to provide outstanding customer service, access to the latest technology, training, and education to assist you with providing excellent service to your clients. Together, we can move through 2021 and whatever challenges that come our way. We work on the Northshore, we worship on the Northshore, our children attend school on the Northshore, and our goal is to support our agents, our schools, and our communities on the Northshore.
Thank you for your continued support.
Wayne Setliff, NABOR President 2021

IMPORTANT: NAR Requests Email Address Verification
The National Association of REALTORS® is asking that REALTOR® members around the country read and respond to an email requesting verification of their email addresses. This is to ensure that contact information is up-to-date before an update occurs at the end of this month to the National REALTOR® Database System (NRDS) platform. Beginning January 22, REALTORS® will receive the message directly from NAR with the information and steps to take.
The record system commonly referred to as NRDS is used by your local, state and national associations to notify you of important updates, changes and issues. This update allows for enhanced features and accuracy. Failure to complete this verification could result in REALTORS® missing important communications.
We ask that REALTORS® take a minute of their time to assist in this process. Below is information regarding the sender
The Sender will be: National Association of REALTORS® (verifyemail@nar.realtor)
The Subject of the Email will be: Please confirm your email address for the National Association of REALTORS®
