Dear Grand County REALTORS®,

Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, we are filled with optimism and enthusiasm for the opportunities that lie ahead. Your dedication and professionalism as REALTORS® continue to elevate our industry and positively impact the communities we serve here in Grand County.

At the start of this new year, it’s important to acknowledge the dynamic landscape of our profession. The real estate industry is undergoing significant changes, and the recent lawsuits involving the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and multiple listing services (MLSs) across the country remind us of the importance of transparency, adaptability, and our collective commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards.

The National Association of REALTORS® is actively addressing these challenges, standing firm in its dedication to advocating for the benefits of cooperation and the MLS system—cornerstones that have long ensured efficiency, equity, and opportunity for buyers, sellers, and practitioners alike. For more information about the NAR’s initiatives and updates, visit https://www.nar.realtor. As members of this great organization, we can take pride in knowing that the NAR is steadfast in supporting our mission to protect private property rights, promote homeownership, and champion fair housing. Don’t forget to check out NAR’s Consumer Guides for helpful client and customer resources.

Here in Colorado, the Colorado Association of REALTORS® (CAR) continues to be a reliable resource for market insights, legal updates, and professional development. CAR’s initiatives, such as the Legal Hotline and Market Trends Reports, equip us to navigate these evolving times with confidence and foresight. Additionally, our local association in Grand County remains committed to providing the education, networking opportunities, and community support you rely on to thrive in your business.

As we look forward to 2025, let’s focus on the tremendous value REALTORS® bring to our clients. We are more than transaction facilitators; we are trusted advisors, advocates, and contributors to the vitality of our neighborhoods. Let’s seize the opportunity to lead with integrity and innovation while continuing to build trust with our clients and within our communities.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to professionalism and excellence. Together, we can meet any challenges that come our way and celebrate the many successes we know this year will bring. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the association if you have questions, need support, or have ideas to share—we’re here to help you succeed.

Wishing you a prosperous and inspiring 2025!

Warm regards,

Monica D. Anderson, ABR, CRS, CLHMS, GRI, SFR
