RISMEDIA, May 8, 2007—Coinciding with the conclusion of American Idol, South Florida Realtors are being invited to display their vocal talents. The Realtor® Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale (RAGFL) is hosting its first annual “Realtor Idol” contest. Hosted by a local “special guest,” at one of the area’s hottest and “rockin” bars, MJ’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Clubhouse, the May 30 competition promises to showcase Realtors’ singing abilities, encouraging them to belt out their favorite songs before a live audience of more than 100 fans and a panel of esteemed judges. The contest will help raise money for the Realtor Political Action Committee (RPAC).
The event will be held at MJ’s Rock-n-Roll Clubhouse, 1620 North Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday, May 30th from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. There is a $10 admission charge for “Realtor Idol.” While only RAGFL members are permitted to be contestants, both RAGFL members and non members alike are invited to attend and cheer on their favorite Realtor singers.
“RAGFL is thrilled to be hosting an event that lets the community get to know our members outside their daily role of negotiating purchases and sales of their homes,” says RAGFL CEO Richard Barkett. “It’s also a great opportunity for Realtors to take a break from their schedules and contribute to programs that help provide a community voice on political issues that affect homeowners.”
RAGFL members who donate $250 to RPAC may register to sing and compete for a grand prize of $500. Additional prizes will be awarded to the second and third place winners. Funds raised from the event will help support RPAC’s goal of establishing the real estate industry as a concerned individual constituency in politics and the community. Recently, the Committee helped defeat a measure that would have doubled the document stamp tax Broward County residents would have paid on real estate transactions, preserved affordable housing trust funds and fought against unwarranted property tax hikes.
