This presentation will dovetail nicely with what Chris Galler presented in November and give you good perspective on how to maximize your SPAAR membership benefits (and those of the agents who work for you).
 
Invite other brokers in your network to join you. Registration is here: :  December 20, 2019 – SPAAR 2020 .
 
Also, get January’s session on the calendar!
In January the Better Broker Series focuses on Commitment to Excellence (C2EX). NAR’s Courtney Jones will be joining us. She will be providing an overview of this free educational training program introduced this year by NAR and explaining how you and your agents can maximize its value and become C2EX Endorsed.
