TIME: 8:30am
LOCATION: Online Zoom Format
SPEAKER: Valerie Rivers, Director of Training, REALTOR® Property Resource (RPR)
DESCRIPTION: Data is everywhere. Home sellers need help digesting information in a way that helps them make better decisions. That’s where you come in. You can interpret data, identity trends, and help them see the real picture. With your knowledge and expertise, and your marketing plans, you can show them why YOU are the best person to sell their home. We’ll explore RPR’s two CMA tools to guide you in preparing a complete listing packet. RPR is a NAR member benefit and is included in your annual dues to the National Association of REALTORS®, so there is nothing to buy. No subscription fees, no renewals.
ADDITIONAL: You’ve heard the news! RPR has unveiled a total transformation of its website. It’s easier to navigate. It’s visually appealing. And it makes REALTORS® more productive than ever, especially when it comes to CMAs.
Join SMDRA for this exclusive, members-only webinar where we will learn how easy it is to create CMAs using the new site. It’s truly unlike any CMA you’ve ever seen. It has a one-of-a-kind valuation model and Seller’s Report.

Take the Fairhaven Challenge!
And Stand-Up for Racial Equality
|
Fairhaven is a new, online, immersive simulation that uses the power of storytelling to make learners confront fair housing discrimination in scenarios that we hope feel real. Learners in the fictional town of Fairhaven play the role of an agent. In the simulation, they work against the clock to close four deals.
As learners interact with clients and colleagues in each scenario, they will confront some form of discrimination—based on race, national origin, disability, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity. The scenarios in Fairhaven are inspired by real fair housing cases, and by conversations held with NAR members.
