The Commercial Association of REALTORS^® New Mexico embodies the best of Commercial Real Estate in New Mexico.  It provides a way for Commercial Real Estate professionals to work together for the common good while transforming shared beliefs and hopes into action.  It gives shape to our boldest dreams, highest ideals and noblest causes.  We are a membership of over 500 commercial real estate professionals throughout the state of New Mexico.

As I think about one word that describes CARNM and its members, the word IMPACT comes to mind.  Wikipedia defines IMPACT as “having a strong effect on someone or something” Just think of the impact the Commercial Association of Realtors has on your business.  Where would we be without the collaborative efforts of each and every one of you?

Here’s how CARNM will continue its impact in 2023:

 

1. Technology – Our CIE platform will be our #1 priority. We will continue to research an appropriate commercial listing service with search engine optimization that is user friendly, flush with information uploaded by our local brokerage community and is easily accessible to both brokers and the public.

• We are reaching out to the National Association of Realtors to work with them on making appropriate changes to Commercial Information Exchange Rules and Regulations so that they meet the everyday work of Commercial Realtors.

2. Education – CARNM will continue its dedication to providing commercially relevant course subject matter to ensure licensees are able to obtain their continuing education within their field of expertise. We encourage you to provide us with your suggestions of course topics.  Additionally, CARNM would like to expand its pool of qualified course instructors.  Please let us know if you are interested in becoming an instructor.
3. Consumer Outreach – We will continue our consumer outreach with our charitable efforts as well as our continued work with Economic Development Corporations throughout New Mexico.
4. Advocacy & Legislation – CARNM has made significant progress in this area in recent years. We will continue our efforts in REALTORS^® Political Action Committee (RPAC), Real Estate Community Political Action Committee (RECPAC), Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO), and rent control.  We will continue to make our voice known for political matters throughout New Mexico.  Lastly, we will review our Policy Statement and update accordingly.

We will close 2022 with more members than CARNM has had in over 10 years.  As our organization grows, we continue to want you, our members, to know your volunteer hours are the lifeblood of our organization.  CARNM values and appreciates your impact on our organization.  We welcome your service in the coming year.

I am truly honored to be your 2023 President.  I look forward to working with each and every one of you as well as the CARNM staff to continue to make an impact on New Mexico’s business and real estate communities.
