Contact the association today at [email protected] if you would like an application.

On September 28th, the National Association of REALTORS® encourages local and state associations to take a moment and acknowledge the work and dedication their Association Executives put forward on Dale Stinton AE Appreciation Day. Today, we celebrate the amazing individuals who work hard daily to make our associations successful here is Alaska.

Here are a few thoughts to share regarding how some of them got into the profession and what they would share with anyone who thinks they know about being an AE.

How did you become an AE?
1. I answered an ad for a different job entirely...10 years ago.

2. I was bored and recently retired, a few REALTOR® friends thought I would be a good fit...and I was.

3. I was recruited out of retirement for a "part time" job. Once here, I found the flexibility of the work schedule, the diversity of tasks, and the new relationships with high energy REALTORS® to be great, which keeps me engaged.

4. I was recruited based on a recommendation from a high school friend who was a local AE in Arizona. After much consideration, I thought learning a new chapter of acronyms would be useful in my career.

What would you share with someone interested in becoming an AE?
1. Grow a pair - toughen up because each President is different and you have to learn how to modify your approach.

2. Be inventive - find alternative sources of revenue rather than just depending on membership dues. It's the AE's job to see the overall organization succeeds.

3. Stand up for yourself, and don’t give up all your time and friends working 50-60 hour weeks. You’ll never get that back.

4. It can be a fun job, and you meet a lot of great people. REALTORS® sometimes have a bad day or transaction and accidentally take it out on us. You need to have tough skin at times, patience, and be able to give people grace.

5. It is a dream job for a multi-tasker, no day is the same and you will get out of it, what you put in.

6. Reach out for help instead of struggling on your own, the AEs work to support one another.

Thank you Rosetta, Kristie, Kelly, Paula, Shar and Dani for all you do!

Members beware!!

There is a phishing campaign currently targeting members of the real estate community. The current campaign appears to come from NAR CEO Nykia Wright, uses the subject line “Musical Gift”, and attempts to engage the recipient through a personal email address.

Do not engage with this email and review the best practices for identifying phishing attempts below:
• Carefully review the sender's email address, not just the name.
• Be cautious of unsolicited offers, donations, gift opportunities, requests for assistance, or other unusual requests.
• Do not provide personal, financial, or sensitive information in response to unexpected emails.
• If you are unsure whether a communication is legitimate, independently verify the request through known and trusted contact information before taking any action.

The emails originate from external third-party accounts and are part of a broader impersonation and social engineering scam. Similar scams commonly target well-known organizations and public figures to increase the likelihood that recipients will trust the message.

As a general rule, official NAR communications come through established NAR channels and authorized NAR email addresses. Be particularly cautious of messages claiming to represent NAR that originate from free email services such as Gmail, Yahoo, or outlook.com.

REALTORS®… we know you. 😂

You can negotiate a deal, solve a crisis at 9:47 p.m., and somehow get everyone to the closing table… but registering for an event before the deadline? That’s where things get dicey.

So, in the spirit of encouraging ✨personal growth✨, here’s your friendly reminder:

Convention registration prices go UP September 1st!

This is your chance to try something new: plan ahead. Register early. Save yourself some money. Feel wildly accomplished. Maybe even brag about it at Convention.

And yes, registering on August 31st at 11:58 p.m. technically still counts as planning ahead… but we believe you can do better. 😉

Join REALTORS® from across Alaska for education, networking, industry updates, and plenty of time with the people who understand exactly why your phone is always buzzing.
