However, with Carlton’s impressive work at the local and national association levels, we’re positive that he will bring an exciting, fresh approach to managing our organization. The staff and the membership will be well served by his passion and knowledge of the real estate industry.”
“To say that I am excited to start working with Dayton REALTORS® is an understatement,” Jackson said. “Dayton REALTORS® is in a prime position to continue down a road of growth in both serving our members as well as being community advocates. My family and I are looking forward to planting roots and becoming part of the Miami Valley.”
Prior to his position at the Iowa City Area Association of REALTORS®, Jackson was the Leadership Team Program Manager for the National Association of REALTORS®.
