Currently Labbree, Jr. is serving on the Budget and Legislative Committees of the BCCAR Board. He is also in his 2nd year of serving as Chairman of the BCCAR Grievance Committee.

Labbree, Jr. has also served on numerous other committees and focus groups of BCCAR and of the Camden County Association of Realtors (CCAR) before it merged with the Burlington County Association of Realtors (BCAR). The BCCAR is a professional real estate organization of approximately 4,000 Realtors and affiliates.

Bill Labbree, Jr. is literally following in the footsteps of his father, Bill Labbree, Sr. (CRS, GRI) who has been in the real estate business since 1960, served on the Board of Directors of the CCAR, as well as, a multitude of committees and groups, including as a Condemnation Commissioner for the State of New Jersey. In addition to instilling a need to remain active and informed of updates and changes in the real estate industry, Labbree, Sr. stressed the need for Labbree, Jr. to be active in and serve the communities in which Labbree Realty does business. He emphasized that this was not for the sake of business but because Gloucester City and Brooklawn are their communities, they are where they live.

 

A list of Labbree, Sr.’s service would be too cumbersome to print. Labbree, Jr.’s recent community involvement includes currently serving on the Urban Enterprise Zone Board, the Broadway/Monmouth Redevelopment Committee, Gloucester City Business Association Treasurer and Gloucester City School Board Key Communicators. Other recent service includes Gloucester City College Bound Advisory Board for Camden County College, Room Parent at Alice Costello School, Cub Scout Den Leader, Boy Scout Committee Member, just to name a few. However, Labbree, Jr. believes the most valuable community service he provides is assisting people with the opportunity to achieve the American Dream of owning an affordable home.
