Spring is here! The busy market is upon us and we are all running around like crazy. Isn’t it nice to know that while you work on your business there are people behind the scenes looking out for Realtors’ and real estate owners’ best interests? RPAC, the Realtors Political Action Committee, is the lobbying organization responsible for this undertaking. They tirelessly strive to encourage our legislators to do the “right things” for us, and, more importantly, the real estate owning public. Through their efforts backing real estate friendly lawmakers, they essentially look out for all of us. Unfortunately, this effort does not come without some sort of cost, and RPAC needs our help for financial viability. I know it’s hard out there, but think for a moment how much harder it would be if some of the new taxes, fees, and other hurdles to real estate ownership were not fought and defeated with the help of our organization. So I ask for your help. Please donate to RPAC. Anything you can give would be appreciated. Even if it’s only a couple of bucks. Our board goal this year is $30 per member. I would love to be the first Chairman in a while to reach this goal. Please contact the board office to find out how to give. Or, you can contact me at marc.seigel@era.com and I will make arrangements to get your donation. The cost to give is little. The cost not to give is huge.
Respectfully submitted,
Marc A. Seigel
Chairman of the Board

Welcome to the Greater New Haven Association
of REALTORS®
A little bit about us:
We are a REALTOR® membership association dedicated
to provide valuable services to our members so that
they can better serve their clients and customers.
We provide prelicensing training for persons who
wish to enter the real estate or appraisal field,
as well as continuing education for licensed individuals.
Courses are provided through our New Haven Real
Estate School.
We provide forms and supplies for our members and
update them through our publications. We also publish
the Connecticut Home Browser, a biweekly advertising
magazine that is distributed to the public free
of charge.
We also provide the members with a computerized
Multiple Listing Service (MLS) so they can share
property information for the benefit of buyers and
sellers. Our listings can also be viewed on the
Internet.
The Association's charitable affiliate, The Real
Estate Educational Foundation, Inc., was founded
in 1981. The main purposes of the Foundation are:
1) to instruct the public about
topics related to real estate;
2) to grant college scholarships
to students from the Greater New Haven area;
3) to help attract highly-qualified
people with graduate degrees to positions in non-profit
service organizations in the Greater New Haven area.
In 1986 a program was established that created student
loan reimbursements for persons with graduate degrees
who accept jobs in local non-profit service organizations.
To date over $250,000.00 in scholarships and loan
reimbursements have been granted.
