History Of The Board

The Gloucester County Board of REALTORS® is a vibrant and forward moving organization serving the public of Gloucester County and the surrounding areas since the late 1930’s. From the time when William R. Storrie was the first President, the Gloucester County Board has grown from a small group of REALTORS® who met for lunch at the Homestead Restaurant in Woodbury, to a large and progressive Board.

The public well remembers many of the original members and officers who served with the Gloucester County Board in the 1940’s and 1950’s, such as the Crist brothers, Ed and Sam, Lawrence Darms,, William Finger and Elizabeth Worthington.  It is a tribute to this Association to have had these and other fine members serve with honor.

A new group of officers in the 1960’s and 1970’s, under the past leadership of Jack Green, Jack Darms, Jack McCue, Nort Worthington, Ralph Cettei and many others, have moved forward to keep pace with the times.  The Gloucester County Board developed a multiple listing service to offer the public.

With Presidents Harry Wolhlfarth and John Gligor, the Board began to look for permanent headquarters.  On July 2, 1980, we made settlement on our present building in Mantua, New Jersey.

Through the efforts of Gloucester Board President, Rick Zammer and Salem County Board President, Tom Moulder, the merger of the Gloucester & Salem Boards were approved on November 6, 1991 by the National Association of REALTORS®.  We are now known as the Gloucester/Salem Counties Board of REALTORS®.

The Gloucester/Salem Counties Board of REALTORS®, presently are part shareholders with the TReND MLS, a modern regionalized multiple listing service, encompassing fourteen counties in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.  The members of the Gloucester/Salem Counties Board of REALTORS® belong to the New Jersey Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS®, who’s members abide by its strict Code of Ethics.  Founded in 1908, the National Association of REALTORS® nearly 800,000 members make it the largest professional trade association in the world.
