ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 4, 2008 – Harry B. Willett, broker-president, Realty World - Willett and Associates, Inc. in Spring Hill, has been installed as District 7 vice president of the Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR), the state’s largest professional association. A member of the Hernando County Association of Realtors®, Willett will serve his fellow professionals in District 7, which encompasses Lake, Sumter, Hernando, Marion and Citrus counties.

He is also a Hernando County Chamber of Commerce diplomat, and member of the Hernando County Entrepreneurial Academy and Coalition to Increase Funding for Hernando County Schools.

“Realtors® must understand the trends in today’s market and provide knowledgeable advice when counseling buyers and sellers.”

As a FAR vice president, Willett will focus on Realtor education, training and involvement in vital housing-related issues in the region. As real estate professionals, Realtors seek to improve the availability and affordability of housing, while helping people from all walks of life achieve the American dream.
