Aliso Viejo, CA, November 14, 2003 - Each year, REBAC acknowledges the significant contributions of several outstanding individuals and organizations for their support of buyer agency and REBAC. During the National Association of Realtors annual convention in San Francisco last week, REBAC made six new inductions. The list included Rita Santamaria, of Champions School of Real Estate in Texas, a leading RealtyU®r Affiliate School, Ron Henderson of Century 21 Properties in South Carolina, Sophie Sirpanlis of New York, Gerald Stoffer of REMAX 200 Realty in Florida, the Georgia Association of Realtorsr and the Pennsylvania Association of Realtorsr.

"The accomplishments of these people are a true testament to their commitment," stated Janet Branton, Executive Director of REBAC. According to Stefan Swanepoel, CEO of RealtyU®r and a REBAC Councilor, "the real estate industry in general and buyer agency in particular is stronger because of the dedication of these, as well as the previous, REBAC inductees."

During the last decade various RealtyU® schools such as Champions, Polley Associates in Pennsylvania, Hugh Ryall Seminars in South Carolina and Hogan School of Real Estate in Arizona have all played major roles in REBAC's growth by educating tens of thousands of Realtorsr in the prestigious ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) designation. REBAC has 42,000 members today, making it the largest association of real estate professionals that focuses on representing real estate buyers as well as the largest Society within National Association of Realtorsr family.

"We are pleased to take this opportunity to acknowledge their contributions and extend our heartfelt appreciation to them, as well as to the many nominees," Branton concluded.
