Frank Jacovini, e-PRO, GRI, became the 89th president of the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors® (PAR) at the annual inaugural banquet last night in Harrisburg. Jacovini’s installation was conducted by Past President Jerry Speer.
In his speech, Jacovini thanked those in attendance including members of the Pennsylvania Senate and House of Representatives, State Real Estate Commission members, PAR past presidents, colleagues and PAR staff. He gave special thanks to his wife, Michele; his son, Jason; his mother Rita and his mother-in-law, Carol.
“It’s a great day to be a Realtor® in PA and I’m very excited about being the president for the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors® for 2012,” said Jacovini. “I look forward to the challenges that leadership brings and I appreciate the opportunity to serve this illustrious association.”
Jacovini noted that the real estate industry has faced many great challenges over the years and he feels Realtors® will continue to overcome them all.
“We’re going through an historic time and someday we’ll all look back and be amazed at what we were able to accomplish,” he said. “Although tough times don’t last, tough people do.”
“We are dedicated to the principle that property ownership is critical to a free and democratic society and committed to promoting and maintaining the highest level of professionalism in our industry. This unselfish service to PAR and to your local association is vital to the overall success and relevancy of the Realtor® movement,” he added.
A Realtor® since 1992, Jacovini is the broker of record of Howard Hanna Philadelphia Realty. He specializes in helping homeowners sell their properties with the least amount of inconvenience and trouble. He is a member of the Greater Philadelphia Association of Realtors® and served as its president in 2000 and was awarded Realtor® of the Year that same year.
