Weekly safety tips as provided by SPAAR and its members
|
SPAARky says:
Respect the temperature
If you need to turn the temperature up a few degrees for the comfort of guests to an open house, remember to return it to the setting of the seller before you lock up and vacate the property.
We like hearing what tips SPAAR members have to share, too, such as:
When at an open house, bring in all the materials you need: sign-in sheets, brochures, pens and keys. Keep your car key, the house key and your phone on you at all times and, should you need to leave the home for any reason, you can leave immediately without reservation.

Share your ideas and make your voice heard by sitting on one of SPAAR's many committees
|
|
"
Being part of a group that helps ensure members are heard and SPAAR's focus is beneficial are just a couple of reasons I joined the committee. I've enjoyed seeing ideas become reality and having a key role in tangible projects like the member survey and website have provided valuable skills in my business."
