Raise your hand if you’re happy that 2020 is in the rearview mirror. Despite stay-at-home orders and skittish buyers and sellers, we survived. Now it’s time to thrive. And the 2021 Florida Realtors® Leadership Team is with you every step of the way. “Florida Realtors is committed to inspiring, encouraging and innovating for its 195,000 members,” says Cheryl Lambert, 2021 president of Florida Realtors. “We challenge you to Dare to Dream how to be the best you—personally and professionally. We encourage all Realtor members to increase their participation in advocacy to keep the momentum of a successful 2020 legislative program going.” “I believe 2021 is going to bring a whole new aspect of excitement of a new normal,” adds Christina Pappas, president-elect. “Realtors are continuing to pivot, to shift and to adjust their business to what the world is now. There’s a lot of excitement and buildup around what 2021 is going to be.” Pappas highlighted the tremendous relationship Florida Realtors has with the governor and legislators who worked with the association during the pandemic to keep business going. “It’s an intangible return on investment,” she says.
