Fall 2025 - Message From The President
Fellow REALTORS®,
It was wonderful seeing so many of you at the Fall Conference from September 24-26! As we welcome the crisp air and vibrant colors of fall, I am reminded that this season is one of transition—a perfect time for reflection and planning forward in preparation for the new year.
In this edition, we join NAR in promoting REALTOR® Safety, as well as Innovations in Technology. You’ll find articles to help you plan for the effective use of new technologies and tips promoting safety and well-being. Throughout REALTOR® Safety Month, we remembered those whose stories sparked necessary changes in safety practices in the real estate industry–stories of people like Beverly Carter. Beverly’s legacy is a powerful reminder of the importance of REALTOR® safety. Take a look at the safety tips in this issue, and always remember: have a plan, stay aware, and look out for each other. Your safety is a priority.
I am also looking forward to attending Ryan’s Leadership Conference this October. This is a time for local association presidents, association executives, and the 2026 Washington REALTORS® Executive Committee to come together, build on their leadership skills, and get a jump on planning for next year.
Looking ahead, please mark your calendars for Hill Day 2026—the next time we’ll all gather. After our largest-ever Hill Day in 2025, I am eager to see what we can accomplish together in 2026.
Wishing you a productive, safe, and inspiring fall season!
In partnership and with gratitude,
John Blom
2025 WR President
