NYSCAR December 2025 president’s message - by Robert Strell

Robert Strell

As we come to the close of another productive year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many accomplishments we have achieved together. NYSCAR members’ engagement, support, and commitment to professionalism have made this an exceptional year for our association.

One of our most significant milestones was the successful launch of our new association website. Designed with members in mind, the updated platform offers improved navigation, streamlined resources, and easier access to tools that support your business. We are proud to provide a  user-friendly hub that enhances the way you connect with colleagues, and industry information.

We continued our advertising efforts throughout the state to keep the NYSCAR name front and center to the public and real estate industry.

Our dedication to high-quality education also remained a premier benefit. Throughout the year, we continued to deliver relevant, timely, and impactful learning opportunities — whether through  virtual sessions, or in-person classes. Your commitment to staying informed and sharpening your skills strengthens not only your individual success but also the integrity of our entire profession.

These achievements are a direct result of your involvement and the hard work of our volunteers, staff, and leadership. Thank you for your ongoing trust in our association and for being part of a community that strives to elevate the real estate industry every day.

We look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead and continuing to provide the resources, advocacy, and support you deserve.

Robert Strell is president of NYSCAR, Albany, N.Y.
