We have all been enriched by the contributions Dale made to the entire industry, not just in terms of creating new broker/agent relationships but also because he influenced so many of us to begin to think outside the box. He is the original pioneer who continues to inspire many of us to dream of new models that make our careers more effective and meaningful. My sincere appreciation to his wife, family, friends and countless colleagues. Donald Teel - President & CEO, ePartner USA

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Dale. It was over 30 years ago that I interviewed with Dale and Realty Executives to find out what the 100% concept was all about. To this day, I recall the impression that this man made. His obvious integrity, quiet dignity, enthusiasm and humility, quickly convinced me to join this small and revolutionary company. The rest as they say is history. I will miss Dale Rector, the man as well as the legend. My sympathy to all the family.

Dear Rich, June, the Rector Family and all of Realty Executives,

My heart goes out to all in your loss.
You have my sympathy and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I joined Realty Executives in 1979 and found such a friend and helpful man in Dale Rector. That help and my admiration extends to Rich, John, Bill, and all of Realty Executives!

A wonderful family with the Rector's and Realty Executives can not be equalled.

Sincerely,
Betty E. Arthur, Prescott

I had the pleasure of working for Realty Executives for four years, and met Dale at one of our conventions. Truly this man was ahead of his time! His passion and commitment were an inspiration; and certainly, because of his vision, many of us are successful in business today. I believe God uses the Dale Rector's of this world specifically to leave us ALL better in some way-- I still incorporate some of the ideas and policies he originated in my own business, and am so grateful to have met him and been introduced to the Realty Executives concept! We are remembering you in our prayers; God bless you all.

Tim Waldron (Realty Executives New England)

Dale was truly a gentle man. It was sometimes hard to believe that somebody as unassuming and down to earth as Dale could have such an enormous impact on people lives. His simple idea, agents as the entrepreneur, changed millions of lives and the way an industry was practiced. He was truly a wise man.

Rich, my thoughts are with you and your family.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dale's passing. I will always remember his winning smile and kind personality.

I remember years ago, when I was at Coldwell Banker how he & Rich both used to call me and ask me to join Realty Executives!

It was a priviledge for me to have known Dale, and he will be sorely missed.

He left a rich, expansive legacy that will live on through the years.

God bless you during this time.

kindest personal regards,
Melinda Schechner

I wish to extend my most sincere condolences to the entire Rector family. Mr. Rector's vision allowed me to pursue my real estate career in a manner that is now a community standard. The memory of the "Real Estate Rebel" will not soon be forgotten.

Dale’s warmth and respect for others were ingredients that separated his vision from those of his competitors. It was that difference that attracted me 15 years ago to Realty Executives. The foundation and spirit that he set in place at Realty Executives will always remain a testament to his life. Rich, my sincere sympathy to both you and your family.

My favorite memory: I had only been with the company for a few months when I was asked to help out at the 2003 International Convention in Miami, Florida. During the Salsa Party event I watched as female after female lined up to dance with Dale Rector. Throughout the next day, I heard many an attendee say what a wonderful time they had and that Dale was "the best dancer". Everytime I've seen Dale since that party, I remember his dancing spirit and smile inside. It was wonderful to know that our respected, accomplished founder was as active in fun as he was in business. Thank you for listening.
