In 2009, the combined production of all 15 Realty Group offices reached $800 million in residential and commercial real estate sales volume. MIBOR has been the beneficiary of Kirkpatrick’s leadership in a number of ways. He was President in 2007, also serving on the Finance, Arbitration, Ethics and Risk Reduction committees. One colleague described his contributions as “possibly one of the most unique and far-reaching by a President in recent memory.” By leading the effort to rebrand MIBOR’s listing service to the Broker Listing Cooperative®, Kirkpatrick’s work was instrumental in preparing the BLC® for brand promotion beyond the scope of MIBOR.
