After months of preparation we’re finally on our way! Wednesday, October 23rd was the official launch date for the Phoenix chapter of VAREP (Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals). Son Nguyen, National President and Founder of VAREP, was in town to introduce the Phoenix board members and outline a Five Point Plan. Big thanks to Jessica, our energetic state director, for pulling this all together. Now the real adventure begins!
VAREP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing sustainable home ownership and economic development for active military and veteran communities throughout the U.S. The Phoenix chapter is planning several educational and networking events for real estate professionals in the coming year. Bill Salvatore, President of the Phoenix chapter explains it like this. “Educating and involving REALTORS and real estate related professionals like Lenders and Title Companies to more effectively work with military and veterans, is our short-term goal. We also have informational forums planned for military members, veterans, and their families. Our ultimate objective is to identify and address the unique challenges to home ownership, faced by the folks who overcome challenges every day to protect our freedom and our country. This is our chance to do something small that we hope will help in a big way!”If you’d like to join VAREP, or if you know a military member or veteran who could use our assistance in the Phoenix area, contact Bill Salvatore, Realtor and Owner of Realty Executives East Valley, 602-999-0952 or by email: golfarizona@cox.net.
