To The Rector Family -

I was not able to be present during the founding years of Realty Executives. During the short time I have been a part of Realty Executive, I have come to understand how truly inspired the formation of our company was and is.

Dale will always be remembered for his vision and his contributions.

All our best to the family.

Thirty years ago I had the good fortune to meet Dale and become his assistant. He became my friend and mentor. He was always there for me, during the good times and bad. Early in my employment my mom became terminally ill, Dale was my rock! Whenever I needed anything, including transfusions, Dale stepped in and quietly and quickly took care of moving mountains for me.

Dale always challenged me to do the impossible and think way outside any box.

Dale gave me the best gift another human can give you, his friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Rector family.

We were all blessed to have known this wonderful man! I have never heard of one negative remark made about Mr. Rector, only what a loving and dedicated person he was, what an awesome legacy! Dale touched many lives and will be missed!

When we made the move to Realty Executives in the 1980's Dale was the reason. His warm, engaging smile and firm handshake always made us feel like one of the family. He was never too busy to stop and chat; he was, after all, still one of "us". The industry's loss is great. But more than that, we here in the Phoenix area, have lost a true friend. Our heartfelt prayers & condolences are with his family.

Dale Rector was the reason I transferred to Realty Executives, over 17 years ago. His forward thinking ideas caused real estate brokerages to all change forever.

He was a kind, gentle, and generous person. I know that his family will miss him greatly - as will we all. This world has lost a wonderful man.

To June, Rich & Robyn, and the rest of Dale's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you now, and will be in the weeks to come.

40 years ago I was fresh out of college, first job and transferred to Phoenix. Dale was the realtor who went through a lot of hoops to get the first home purchase deal done. A few months later I received an announcement about the successful launch of a new concept. Our paths did not really cross again but I have fond memories of the excellence of that time.

I will always remember Dale Rector for his kindness and how he treated everyone as an important significant individual. He came to our office one day and sat next to me for nearly 3 hours as I worked. I was so impressed that he would take the time to see what I did and what was important to help me do a successful job. He will be missed very much.

To all of Dale's family and friends; I only came on board w/ Realty Executives recently and in the time I've been here I have heard so many amazing things about Dale. It only saddens me that I never got the chance to meet him. It would have been an honor. I am honored to be a part of his creation and only hope to make him proud. My sincerest condolescences are with you....

Dale caused a revolution in the real estate industry. Because of his ideas real estate brokerages changed forever. Every real estate agent in the world benefited from the pay raise Dale created for us whether they are Realty Executives agent or not.

The world has lost a GREAT man. A great man who made a difference! He changed MY life. Thank you, Dale.

June, Rich & Robyn, Gary and the rest of the family, I feel your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dale treated everyone as if they were his equal. He always had time to stop and chat. When he talked to you it was like you were one of the most important people around. A true "People Person."

He will be sorely missed.
