2013 Officers & Regional Vice Presidents - Candidate Information

Tommy Eastman
Flavin Realty -- Lake Charles
Southwest Louisiana Association of REALTORS

 

What position would you like to fill?
Secretary-Treasurer

Why do you want to be in this leadership role
I take my career in Real Estate very seriously.  I understand what being a Realtor means not only to my career but also to the general public.  The association has been very good to me and I feel that it is time for me to step up and give back.  The experience that I have had with my local board and most importantly the State board has prepared me for this position.  Louisiana Realtors are and will be facing some challenging issues in the next few years such as a non real estate friendly government as well as declining membership and revenue.  I feel that I am ready to take on all of the issues that LR is and will face and have this association stronger afterward.   

If elected, how do you intend to use your position to benefit the membership?
If elected I plan on taking on the issues and doing what is best for Louisiana Realtors as a whole and not just what will benefit a few of the members. I would also look at what the member’s wants and needs are to help to enhance the value that our association brings to being a Louisiana Realtor.  I will also reinforce the idea to our members as well as to the public how important our organization is to protecting property rights and the value that a Realtor brings to the market place. .   

If elected, do you plan on seeking a higher office in the future?
Yes
