Richmond, VA–Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has appointed two members of the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors (NVAR)–Anh Tu Do and NVAR Chairman-Elect Pat Kline–to serve on prestigious state regulatory boards that protect consumer rights.

Ms. Do, a realtor with Westgate Realty Group in Falls Church, was appointed to a four-year term on the Virginia Real Estate Board that began on July 1.

The Virginia Real Estate Board regulates businesses and individuals representing others in real property transactions to ensure ethical and fair treatment.

Specializing in both residential and commercial real estate, Ms. Do entered the real estate profession in 2003. She participates in NVAR’s Vietnamese Forum Advisory Board. She is also involved with the Asian Real Estate Association of American, DC Metro Chapter.

Ms. Kline is an Associate Broker with Avery Hess Realtors in Springfield. She will serve the remainder of a vacated seat on the Board for Professional and Occupational Regulation, through June 30, 2012.

The board where Kline will serve protects the overall welfare of residents, while promoting a competent workforce, enforcing fair housing practices, and supporting a favorable economy.

An NVAR member since 1989, Ms. Kline has served on its board since 2007 and is now the Chair-Elect. She has earned sales awards distinctions and National Association of Realtors professional designations. A Virginia Association of Realtors\-trained mediator, she is a 2009 VAR Leadership Academy graduate.

“Having two of our members selected to serving on these prestigious boards is a double honor,” said 2011 NVAR Board Chairman Karen Trainor. “We are thrilled that our members have been chosen to serve Virginia consumers to ensure that they receive ethical and appropriate services from real estate and other professionals statewide.”
