STATEN ISLAND, N..Y. –  It’s easy to join the chorus of those who bemoan the problems facing Staten Island. After all, the Island is the “forgotten borough;” we are the only New York City residents required to pay when we drive to, or return from, another borough; the local traffic can be infuriating; the media shows us no respect, and — need I say more?

On the other hand, look at all the extended families who happily call Staten Island their home. We have an influx of new residents who continue to discover the Island as an incredible place to raise a family. These folks know that Staten Island offers much more than meets the eye.

Sandy Krueger, CEO of the Staten Island Board of Realtors

The Staten Island Board of Realtors (SIBOR) is honored to represent over 1,700 professionals in the brokerage, property management, appraisal, lending and related industries. We strive to bring information, education, leading industry tools, professional-recognition programs, high professional standards and enforcement, and networking opportunities to our members.

We also rally our membership to find ways to get involved in worthy local projects and community organizations. In conjunction with the National Association of Realtors and the New York State Association of Realtors, we are very involved in advocating for consumer-related housing issues and private property rights with legislators and regulators at all levels.

Our Richmond County Real Estate Institute is the largest real estate school on Staten Island and our Staten Island Multiple Listing Service, Inc. is a key factor in creating an orderly marketplace for consumers and Realtors.

In 2015, SIBOR will celebrate its 100th anniversary.  It’s been a great run, and Staten Island Realtors look to the future with an appreciation of all our borough has to offer.
