SYRACUSE — After nearly three decades leading the Greater Syracuse Association of Realtors (GSAR) and the Central New York Information Service, Inc. (CNYIS), CEO Lynnore Fetyko announced she will retire effective Dec. 1.
During Fetyko’s 28-year tenure, both GSAR and CNYIS, a multiple listing service (MLS), experienced growth and supported their members’ success through constantly changing real-estate industry landscape, Nancy Quigg, GSAR president, said in a release.
“Lynnore has been an instrumental figure in the real estate community and Central New York’s REALTORS® have been the fortunate beneficiaries of her unwavering dedication, vision and expertise,” Quigg said. “Although we are sad to see her leave, I know all REALTORS® join me in wishing her all the best in her well-deserved retirement.”
Among Fetyko’s accomplishments on behalf of the organizations were the successful merger with two local realtor associations, the creation of CNYIS, the founding of the regional New York State Alliance of MLSs, which brought together MLS listing data from western to northern New York. She also created the widely recognized CNYrealtor.com brand, GSAR said.
“Under Lynnore’s leadership, the association consistently championed the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and excellence, which elevated the industry to the benefit of both real estate professionals and the communities they serve,” said Mark Re, CNYIS president. “She was the driving force in making GSAR and CNYIS the trusted resource in Central New York.”
Fetyko led initiatives that fostered collaboration both within the industry and local communities, and implemented innovative programs, especially during COVID to support association members, Re added.
“It has been an honor to serve Central New York’s REALTORS® and to have the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of the real estate industry and homeownership,” said Fetyko. “I am grateful for the support of GSAR and CNYIS leaders and my staff over the years as we worked together to achieve our goals on behalf of the organizations, the members and our communities.”
Fetyko will work closely with association leaders to identify and hire the next GSAR and CNYIS CEO. The GSAR board of directors has started a nationwide executive search.
GSAR is the trade association representing more than 2,000 realtors in Central New York. CNYIS is an MLS operated by a group of Central New York broker/owners.
