Testimonials

As a lifelong resident of Orlando, I’ve seen the tremendous growth of our city’s real estate market. ORRA has always been there, understanding the unique needs of our local agents and advocating for them. A merger with WRFAA raises concerns. Will they prioritize Orlando’s specific challenges, or will we become a number in a larger system? I worry that ORRA’s expertise and local focus could be lost.

I joined ORRA because of their commitment to supporting small and independent brokerages. This merger with WRFAA feels like a big corporation taking over. Higher membership fees with less local representation? That doesn’t benefit me. ORRA’s knowledge of Orlando’s neighborhoods is invaluable. I fear a merger might prioritize WRFAA’s needs, leaving Orlando’s real estate professionals behind.

The Orlando real estate market is competitive, but ORRA has helped me navigate it successfully. Their local market reports and training are top-notch. A merger with WRFAA makes me nervous. Will these resources still be available, or will they be replaced with generic materials irrelevant to Orlando’s market? Having ORRA fight for local issues on a national level has been critical. A diluted voice within a larger organization could weaken our position.

As a young, independent realtor in Orlando, I rely on ORRA’s programs specifically designed for our local market. A merger with WRFA could lead to generic training that doesn’t address the unique challenges we face here. I need ORRA’s strong, local focus to stay competitive and succeed.

The Orlando market is booming, but it’s also complex. ORRA understands the intricacies of our market and provides the resources and connections I need to best serve my clients. A merger with WRFA raises concerns about a one-size-fits-all approach that might not be effective here. We need ORRA’s laser focus on Orlando to keep our market thriving.

ORRA has been a strong partner in preserving Orlando’s historic character through responsible real estate development. Their deep understanding of the local market is crucial. A merger with WRFA raises concerns that these historical preservation efforts could be sidelined by broader regional interests.

While collaboration is important, I share the concerns of many Orlando real estate professionals regarding the proposed ORRA-WRFA merger. A strong, independent ORRA is vital for ensuring Orlando’s unique market needs are met. As a State Senator representing Tampa Bay, I understand the value of local control and expertise. I urge both organizations to carefully consider the potential impact of this merger on Orlando’s real estate market and the communities it serves.
