A historic merger -- creating one of the largest associations in the nation -- by three Hudson Valley, N.Y. realtor groups will launch in Jan. 2012.
Members of the Westchester Putnam Association of Realtors (WPAR), the Rockland County Board of Realtors (RCBR) and the Orange County Association of Realtors (OCAR) voted in favor of the merger that will create the new Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR).
As part of the merger agreement, the Orange and Rockland groups will dissolve into the Westchester Putnam Association, which will seek approval from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to change the name to the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors.
WPAR Deputy CEO Richard Haggerty will take over the reins of HGAR. The merger allows WPAR, RCBR and OCAR to combine resources and consolidate operations to help stabilize member dues while continuing to offer services.
