Boone County Chapter
Boone County Chapter History
The Boone County Chapter represents the legacy of the former Belvidere Board of REALTORS®, now proudly part of the NorthWest Illinois Alliance of REALTORS®. For decades, the Belvidere Board served Boone County real estate professionals with distinction—fostering a close-knit community of REALTORS® dedicated to professionalism, education, and service.
Known for its strong ties to local housing initiatives and its continued support of organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Hometown Christmas Tree project, the Boone County Chapter remains active in giving back to the community it calls home. As part of the larger Alliance, Belvidere REALTORS® are now connected to even more tools, resources, and networking opportunities—while still honoring the traditions and values that made their board a cornerstone of the Boone County real estate landscape.
