The morning class was
Don't get Whacked by the WACs; the afternoon class was
Is It Friend or Faux - Real Estate Fraud Schemes You Need to Know About.
Those who attended both classes picked up 6.5 clock hours.
The event, at CenterPlace Event Center in Spokane Valley, attracted a crowd of about 200 members.
Annie's Legal Hotline is among the top member benefits in Washington REALTORS®.
Annie is smart, fast, and free to members!
Use the Legal Hotline just four times and you will pay for your membership!
Five Spokane REALTORS® were named to REALTOR® Emeritus status at the Quarterly Membership Meeting.
These members represent the summit of experience in our industry, have weathered most every market condition one can imagine, and still come out smiling - as the photo proves.

The REALTOR® Emeritus program is a special membership status honoring those REALTORS® who have maintained their membership for 40 years or more.
Emeritus members receive a certificate and pin to show their status, payment of National Association dues is waived for the remainder of their membership, and they are exempt from the Code of Ethics Training requirement.
Our luncheon guest speaker was

Meg shared that the region welcomed 9.44 million visitors last year, who spent $1.3 billion into our local economy, which supported 12,492 jobs.
Spokane tourism created $100.8 million in local tax revenue. From that, local homeowners realized over $1,000 in household tax relief.
