TONY REECE

Presidio Real Estate- Realtor® Member (17 Years)


I’m Tony Reece, with Presidio Real Estate and with all of the attacks on our industry, we must keep Agents at the center of the transaction and excited about our future. Early in my 17 year professional real estate career, I learned how important it is to take a strong stance within our industry. We have a duty to our clients and a responsibility to our fellow real estate agents to whom I consider myself a colleague more so than a competitor. I will commit to this four-year term as one of your Board of Directors and look forward to tackling issues that have an effect on your real estate business. This includes meeting regularly, discussing Board business and making industry decisions according to the Board’s Bylaws. My real estate journey began 17 years ago with Moon Real Estate, I was then recruited as VP of Marketing for Utah Select Realty, followed by REMAX Associates as Agent Relations Manager. Prior to Presidio Real Estate, alongside my wife and business partner, we held an 11 year designation as top producers with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, UT Properties. We have 2 adult children, 3 dogs and thanks to real estate, live an incredible life. I have been involved in over 20 committees since 2009, currently hold a director position on the RRC board and am a proud member of the Women’s Council of Realtors - Salt Lake City. 13 years ago, I found myself as the official Emcee for numerous events including, Shrimpfest, Women’s Council of Realtors, and several other functions where we surpassed six figures in donations for various amazing charities. I look forward to serving you as your 2023-2027 Board of Directors and thank you for your Vote! Tony Reece, Associate Broker.

JAMIE SACKS

Coldwell Banker- Realtor® Member (30 Years)


I am applying for a position on the Board of Directors. I’d like to share a little about myself and why I am asking for your vote. As some might know, I have been in real estate for 25+ years. Serving on the Board is a desire of mine to continue to give back to an industry that has given me and my family so much. When I started my career, I was a single mom with two daughters. Becoming a Realtor allowed me the ability to provide for my girls while they were growing up, and helped with my personal growth, and self-esteem… I had the ability to be a mom, to be a professional, and be a person who had the skills and ability to assist buyers and sellers, a personally fulfilling role to me. The world of Real Estate has fulfilled my heart in a way I could never give back enough. This participation has added to my strengths and shaped who I am today. When asked to describe myself, I thought about the things that contribute to my success in life – diligence, honesty, and clear communication in my endeavors and striving to make people feel they belong and connecting both professionally and personally. These are core values in my life. What do I hope to accomplish when I am elected to the Board of Directors? I want to bring an informed awareness to my colleagues about the value of the Board, and get more of our community involved, more importantly, understanding RPAC and what it contributes to the ease of our business. I also support and will assist in driving professionalism in “raising the bar” for new and existing Realtors. Professionalism is a critical part of ensuring our industry continues to thrive in Utah. I look forward to answering any questions you have for me and ask for support in voting for me. Thank you.

ERIC SANTISTEVAN

Engel & Volkers Salt Lake - Realtor® Member (26 Years)


I center my life on three key pillars: Health, Service, and Legacy. How can I support the health of those around me - physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually? How can I serve others and promote a spirit of service in my community? And finally, how can I create a legacy of goodness that will impact my family (including my 14 grandchildren!) and the community for generations to come? I have been an active member of the Realtor community as a Realtor and broker for over 26 years and I'm passionate about giving back to this community. I believe that as Realtors, we have a unique opportunity to touch people's lives; our actions can support their health, promote a spirit of service, and help them build their own legacy starting with home ownership. When we take these responsibilities to heart, we have the power to strengthen families, communities, and beyond. As a Director, I will use these guiding pillars to direct the vision of Utah Realtors and those we serve! I am a Major Investor in RPAC each year and belong to the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, Idaho Realtors Association, Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors, Washington County MLS, & Park City MLS. I am proud to be a member of NAHREP - National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals & a member of WCR - Women's Council of Realtors. I have previously served on the Charity & Government Affairs Committees and currently serve on the Grievance & Government Affairs Committees. I have given thousands of hours of community & church service throughout my life. I currently contribute hundreds of hours a year to such things. Besides sweat & tears... I literally give blood! I have given over 6 gallons of blood to the American Red Cross and highly encourage others to reap the benefits of such giving. I ask for your vote so that I can bring my experience and my passion for giving back, to my fellow Realtors, as a member of the Board of Directors. Thank you.

DAWN STEVENS

Presidio Real Estate- Realtor® Member (21 Years)


I’m Dawn Stevens and I am honored to currently serve as your 2nd Vice President with the Salt Lake Board of Realtors. I am seeking my last four-year term to better serve you with the information/training I have gathered in my years of service. I sincerely believe to be an effective leader, you need experience. As a 33 plus year veteran in the Real Estate industry, I have served in many different capacities. In addition to serving as your Board of Director for the last four years, I am also your ‘22–‘23 NAR Realtor Commitment to Excellence (C2Ex) Ambassador and your ‘23 UAR Convention Committee Chair. Through the national organization of the Residential Real Estate Council (RRC) who awards the prestigious CRS designation, I have served as UT State President, RVP to Region 13/CA and HI & RVP to Region 9/AR, KS, MO, OK. I am currently serving as the RVP Chair for all Regions. I’ve moderated the National Regional Mastermind Seminar where we combined education, humor, and laughter into learning. I’ve even taken my leadership position to the next level and enrolled in the National Speakers Academy to sharpen additional skills. Learning on a national level gave me incredible insight and leadership skills. I understand our need to be on the forefront of cutting-edge technology and top-level education so we may empower, 100% educate, and embrace the next generation. Like many other candidates, I’ve also won numerous Awards. While the Awards were hard-earned and I’m proud of my success - they aren’t at the heart of my career. My defining moment is when I became a Board of Director. You see, I want to be your voice and apply what I have learned to make this organization even better for you, the members. We all have opinions, and all those opinions need to be acknowledged. I want you to know that I will always be open and approachable for those conversations. To me, serving as your Board of Director is about integrity, service, leadership, and professional growth. If we are always working towards becoming the next best version of ourselves, then we are in a natural position to help create change in the industry that we serve. Serving this industry is an honor and I ask you to honor me with your vote.
