A Message from Vail Board of Realtors®

Happy New Year! I have some reminders to share. If you have not paid your annual dues you should have received a reminder message on Wednesday. Late fees will be applied on January 12th.

Over the last week, we have been receiving a lot of phone calls from members asking about the NAR Ethics requirement. The cycle that you need to complete this course runs from Jan. 1, 2017-Dec. 31, 2018. If you haven't completed this class during this time frame you need to take it. Our next scheduled class is on Feb 15th.  If you take your COE class any place other than the VBR or on-line, it is your responsibility to send or bring your certificate of completion to me.
