HOCUS POCUS Some brokers imply that they have access to a magic formula! A friend

was recently promised a quick sale at top dollar, and a guaranteed fast co-op board approval. I warned the friend about hocus pocus and bait and switch. The sale didn’t happen. It was rented instead. Don’t be fooled there is no magic formula for success. What did the seller lose by trying? He lost time (which does cost money), rewarded an unethical or ignorant broker, and didn’t believe me which was insulting.

Some tools which brokers use: • Most use advertisements in The Wave, open houses, signs, websites • Some distribute keychains. I give out pens. • Some utilize expensive internet services. I’m a premier agent on Zillow and Trulia

and the #1 recommended broker on Trulia’s mobile app. • Most have access to MLS. • Some know one neighborhood better. I’ve sold over 400 homes—at least one

house on every street in Belle Harbor and Neponsit. I have knowledge of houses which can make a difference.

• Some brokers spare no expense. I sponsor many local organizations and I use 3-D virtual tours on my website.

Hocus pocus? Nope. It’s hard work, experience, and a big budget. Call me. Love, Robin.

The Knights of Colum-bus Board of Directors has elected Patrick E. Kelly as the next Supreme Knight, to continue the mission of charity, unity and fra-ternity established by the Order’s Founder, Blessed Michael McGivney, almost 140 years ago.

Carl A. Anderson will re-tire February 28, after more than 20 years of service as Supreme Knight and upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70. He leaves a legacy of Chris-tian witness and service to the Catholic Church, to the Knights of Columbus and to communities throughout the world.

Patrick Kelly’s tenure as the Order’s 14th Supreme Knight will commence March 1.

“The Knights of Colum-bus board has elected an ex-traordinarily well-qualified new Supreme Knight in Patrick Kelly,” said retiring Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. “Patrick has dedicated his life in service to the Church, his country, and the Knights of Columbus. He has served as Deputy Supreme Knight for four years and is a well-rounded public servant with diplomatic and military experience. He is ideally suited to carry on the work of the Knights of Columbus as we enter a new era, faithful to our principles of charity, unity and fraternity, and in close collaboration with the Holy See and the bishops throughout the world.”

Kelly has previously served as the Executive Director of the Saint John Paul II National Shrine, and recently led the Knights’ grassroots response to the COVID-19 pandemic titled “Leave No Neighbor Behind,” which saw Knights working to serve those isolated and alone in quarantine, support-ing food banks and blood centers in need of vital supplies, and providing other essential services.

Additionally, Kelly is a retired Navy Captain with 20 years of military service. In 2016, he retired from the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps Reserve, and served as the Commanding Officer of the inter-national law unit at the United States Naval War College. Previously, Mr. Kelly had a long career of public service that included advisory roles to Congress and the Department of Justice. Mr. Kelly also served as Senior Advisor to the Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom at the State Department. His responsibilities included serving as the De-partment’s principal interlocutor with the Holy See and other nations on religious freedom issues.

“The Knights of Columbus board has elected a brilliant new Supreme Knight with whom I have had the pleasure of working with for more than a decade,” said Archbishop William E. Lori, Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus. “Patrick Kelly is a devoted husband, father of three young daughters, and a man of deep faith with many years of experience as a public servant. He possesses the knowledge, experience and com-mitment necessary to carry the Order forward in service to our brother Knights, their families, our parishes, and our communities.”

“I am honored to be called to serve as Supreme Knight,” Supreme Knight-elect Patrick Kelly said in a statement. “I look forward to continu-ing Carl’s great work and will strive to guide the Knights of Columbus by the principles of charity, unity and fraternity according to the vision of Blessed Michael McGivney. These principles are as important today as they were almost 140 years ago at our founding. They are a proven path to deepen our Catholic faith, and build strong families, strong parishes, and strong communities that work together for the common good and rec-ognize the dignity and worth of every human being. I ask for prayers as I endeavor to advance the great history and traditions of the Knights of Columbus in service to the Lord, his Church, our brother Knights and their families, our parishes and our communities.”
