Judy Lowe,
Arizona Real Estate Commissioner

Greetings from Commissioner Judy Lowe

---

On May 14, 2009 Governor Janice Brewer appointed me Commissioner for the Arizona Department of Real Estate.  It was with great enthusiasm that I accepted the opportunity to serve the Governor and the State of Arizona.  I greatly appreciate the many, many messages of support and well-wishes I have received from the industry and the public.

My intent over the next few months will be to increase awareness with industry and the public regarding the services of the Department of Real Estate.  It is truly amazing to see the various aspects of the Department and how they inter-connect with industry.

My emphasis will be on building partnerships… within the industry and with other state agencies, in serving our Arizona constituents from an attitude of supporting a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) concept.  I am committed to open communication, transparency, and the sharing of information and knowledge.  I will listen and gather feedback from all, as well as create a synergistic approach to problem solving.

Some Department changes are:

• Full staff work week reinstated


• The “Builders in Financial Trouble” list has been removed from the ADRE website


• Assistant Commissioner Janet Blair will be responsible for oversight of the following divisions: Licensing, Professional Education, Auditing, Licensing Investigations, Development Investigations and Services and Enforcement and Compliance.  Email contact: jblair@azre.gov


• Assistant Commissioner Mary Utley will be responsible for Business Services, Communication, Rules & Regulations and Legislative Affairs.  Email contact: mutley@azre.gov

I will use my extensive real estate industry knowledge and consumer protection experience to further promote the Department mission of “protecting the public” while ensuring exceptional customer service.

Respectfully yours,
