Make an Offer! Online Advocacy Auction
Overnight stay, cigars, lottery tickets, and more!
The Government Affairs Committee of GHAR has organized an Advocacy Auction to support our industry, protect homeownership and property rights.

GHAR Members Complete C2EX Program
Congratulations to Michelle Garabedian!

Michelle's comments about the C2EX program:
I still consider myself a "newer" agent (especially when the program 1st came out), and I wanted to do anything I could to be the best that I could be and absorb as much knowledge as was presented. The way the program is developed; having a pre skills knowledge check and the flexibility to work at your own pace and then to be able to go back and reference tools/resources at any time truly continues to be an asset and will be for a long time to come. C2EX is a fantastic tool and I am grateful I took the time and commitment to my career to accomplish it.
