GHAR Members Complete C2EX Program
Congratulations to Charlie Connelly!
Charlie's comments about the C2EX program:
Knowledge is power. The more I know the better I can service my clients. This program also provides a reference and reminder of what we, as Real Estate Agents, are required to do for clients, ourselves, and to maintain our license. During these unknown times it is good to brush up and be aware of what has changed and what remains the same in our industry.
