Louisiana REALTORS� is proud to introduce the new and improved online GRI program. LR has recently received approval from the Louisiana Real Estate Commission to offer CE credits for each of the four online GRI modules. We know your agents are busy, but together we can help your agents better themselves and your business by earning the GRI designation. 

This program offers agents the chance to earn four of the necessary GRI credits needed, as well as a chance to earn up to 17 CE credits.

All courses are certified by the Louisiana Real Estate Commission -Vendor # 8090.


Proposed Rules Concerning Real Estate Teams 

 

The Louisiana Real Estate Commission has sent forward to the State Register a set of rules and regulations pertaining to real estate teams and how they will operate in the future.  It is anticipated these rules will go into effect in September or early October. These proposed rules were worked on by members of the Louisiana Real Estate Commission and members of Louisiana REALTORS�. See full proposal.

 

Section 1902 of the proposed rules will not be enforced until January of 2015.

Earn Respect by Making Meetings Worthwhile

I often hear about the battle brokers have in getting agents to show up to (let alone be actively engaged in) group or one-on-one meetings. So how do you create an environment where team members understand that your goal is to increase their success, not to waste their time? Ultimately, you want them to approach these meetings with excitement and a belief that if they show up and participate, they will benefit. Read the full article here.
