RE/MAX Performance Team...Getting to know Alan Barnard.
Whether you're a buyer or a seller, for a short period of time, you invite us to become part of your life, and for that reason, we think it's important for
you to know a bit more about us.
My Professional Life: As our "About Us" page notes, I'm an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and I specialize in commercial real estate as well. I have enjoyed being a licensed Real Estate broker since 1991 and find rewarding the many relationships my work allows me to develop. I've held the post of President of the Port Angeles Association Of REALTORS® for two consecutive years 1996 and 1997 and held several board leadership positions from 1994 through 2004. I was selected as REALTOR® of the Year 1996, received the REALTOR® Achievement Award in 1994, the 1995 Political Action Award, the 2002 Community Service Award and the President’s Award in 2006.
I consider real estate an important issue and like to take time to educate and represent Clallam County citizens on real estate issues. From 1996 through 1997, I enjoyed a stint as a local KONP Radio 1450 radio Talk Show personality chatting aboutreal estate issues and subsequently two other public service real estate segments running throughout the day over a three-year period specifically. In 2000, I was appointed by the Governor as Real Estate Commissioner for Washington State Department of Licensing, a post I filled until August 2006.
My Community Work: I consider myself so blessed to live where I do, and believe in supporting my community through volunteer work including:
- Northwest Regional Vice President, International Stinson Club, covering WA, ID, OR, MT, WY, BC., 2002 to present.
- Law Enforcement Advisory Board, City of Port Angeles, Board member and Vice Chairman, 1999 to present.
- Chairman and spokesperson, Citizens for 911, campaign committee for passage of Proposition 1, 1/10th of one percent tax increase for the Clallam County 911 system. Proposition 1 was successful and passed with over 60% of the vote.
- Campaign Manager for Bill Benedict for Clallam County Sheriff, January 2006 until September 2006, Benedict was elected by over 65% of the vote.
- Board member, Clallam County Housing Authority, 2003-2004.
- Founder and Chairman of the countywide “Stash Your Trash” anti-litter/dumping program from January 2004 to present.
- Founder and Chairman of Public Safety Monument and Public Tribute Committee. Successful in conducting a post 911 celebration and tribute to Clallam County Public Safety professionals, February of 2002 and subsequent construction and placement of permanent Public Safety Monument at Francis Street Waterfront Park, dedicated September 11, 2002 and rededicated each 9/11 since.
- Chairman of Joint Committee for Skateboard Safety in Port Angeles and the Skateboard Park. From September 2006 to present, working on recommendations for the City of Port Angeles on skateboard safety in our community.
- Race Announcer for Jettin' the Strait and Strait Thunder power boat races in Port Angeles from 2000 to present.
Just For Fun: I've always believed that we are so much more than the job we do. My love -- outside of real estate -- is aviation! I have my own plane and can tell you from personal experience that the Olympics are even more exquisite when viewed from above! My enjoyment of flying has lead to several volunteer opportunities including:
- Northwest Experimental Aircraft Association Arlington Fly-in management team and past Board member, Summer 1998 to present. Year round planning, layout and one week full time over July 4th week every year in Arlington, WA.
- Area Coordinator for the “Wings of Freedom” visit of the B-17 and B-24 WWII Bombers for public viewing and rides, 2004 and 2005.
- A sponsor and organizer of several “William R. Fairchild Airport Day” activities with thousands in attendance, 1999 through 2003.
But that's enough about me. I'd like to get to know you! Whether you're a buyer or a seller, contact me and we can work together to build your dreams.
