                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 15, 2007

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Rob Wigton, the 
incoming President of the Nevada Association of REALTORS.
  Mr. Wigton's career as a realtor started in 1995 when he began 
working at CENTURY 21 Clark Properties. In his first three years, he 
became one of the company's top producing agents. Then in 1998, he was 
offered an opportunity to purchase an interest with the company. In 
2000, he joined Patty Clark and Shele Pandl and built an 18,000 square 
foot ``Real Estate Mall'' which housed many necessary services in real 
estate such as sales and property management, mortgage brokerage, and 
homeowner's insurance. This innovative idea has become a model in the 
real estate industry and remains one of the most ground-breaking ideas 
in Nevada real estate today.
  Mr. Wigton has been actively involved in his local realtor board, 
serving as the chair of multiple committees and as the president of the 
board. He has also been actively involved in the Sierra Nevada 
Association of REALTORS and the Nevada Association of REALTORS.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Rob Wigton. His hard work and 
dedication to the Nevada REALTORS Association is to be admired, and I 
wish him well in his upcoming term as President.
