John Sebree has resigned as the CEO of the California Association of Realtors (CAR).
Sebree joined CAR two years ago from Missouri Realtors, replacing Joel Singer who retired after 32 years as CEO. Earlier in his career, Sebree was senior vice president of public policy at Florida Realtors and senior legislative representative for the National Association of Realtors.
Debra Ferrier, currently CEO of CAR’s for-profit subsidiary Real Estate Business Services (REBS), will serve as interim CEO. A search committee will be formed and a nationwide search for Sebree’s replacement will begin immediately.
CAR did not announce if Sebree was taking a new position elsewhere.
“On behalf of CAR’s leadership team and the board of directors, I’d like to thank John for his contributions and service as CEO and state secretary for our organization. We wish him well in his future endeavors,” said CAR President Melanie Barker.
