Wondering what the OKCMAR/MLS Van is doing all around town? Staff and RCA committee members have been hosting informational round tables for the commercial practitioners since early February. In fact there is a presentation this morning with Cambridge Properties. The CIE has been a monumental 2.5 year project for staff and the RCA and it is with great relief and anticipation that all the hard work is finally a reality!
The OKCMAR Board and RCA have worked together to help solve the challenges faced by our commercial practitioners. Although soaring costs and decline in revenue is only one of the issues in the commercial market it is an issue that our visionary REALTOR leaders could directly address. Understanding that economic development is followed by home sales the two groups worked relentlessly over the past two years to bring an affordable and efficient CIE to OKC. In addition to affordability the CIE is locally owned and locally managed to ensure that OKC commercial associates and brokers have a system that is specific to the OKC market.
As we enter phase 3 of the far reaching ARCS (Allied Real Estate Commercial Services a wholly owned subsidiary corporation of OKCMAR) plan I would like to take a moment to thank the incredible leader-volunteers of this project and my staff who have worked many evenings to make the CIE a reality. Although so many have worked on this project I think it is important to specifically recognize the three leaders who have worked on this project since its onset and are greatly responsible for its success: Bart Binning, Karen Graves & Nancy Ice. If you get a chance to interact with them in business thank them for the hundreds of hours they took away from their businesses over the last three years to bring this incredible service to OKC.

You are absolutely correct Dawn. A lot of hard work has gone into being able to assist the Commercial side of the business over the last few years. Those that you recognized deserve a lot of credit for bringing results and showing Commercial Brokers that OKCMAR can be one of the best assets they will have to build their business.
Congratulations Dawn - to you,and your committees and staff that helped make this a reality. I can't wait to hear your progress!
