What would you do if a client or family member had a heart attack? The Vail Board of REALTORS® is pleased to
co-sponsor CPR training called "Call, Push, Shock" presented by Starting Hearts. Just 45 minutes of training will teach you (or update you) on how to respond in an emergency including CPR and how to use one of the AED's (automatic electronic defibrillators) that are being placed in many public areas around Eagle County. You've seen them. Do you know where the nearest AED is located right now? I do! The training is brief and easy. We'll even make sure to give you juice and cookies along with a spiffy certificate suitable for framing! On a more serious note, there are several documented incidents of real estate clients having heart attacks during showings. I was a paramedic and ski patroller for many years. I've done CPR and defibrillated more patients than I can recall. It works. Please register for a class today. It's free!
 
Billing - we all love paying the monthly MLS bill don't we? Broker managers and owners may now put a credit card on file for automatic monthly billing.
