Residential REALTORS® are expected to have deep knowledge of the communities in which they operate. While there is a lot of data and information available, which information is most important for customers, where do you find it, and how should it be interpreted? Attending one of Patty’s quarterly sessions, only at SMDRA, will keep help your customers see you for the expert you are. This quarter’s session is all about how commercial real estate impacts residential real estate. The health of an area’s retail and office base influence its livability and desirability as active commercial spaces suggest vibrancy while vacant spaces suggest challenges or decline.

a REALTOR's Career
REALTORS® Property Resource (RPR)

Starting out as a new real estate agent can be overwhelming. You’re bombarded with emails and phone calls to sign up for this and purchase that. It can be difficult to decipher and filter out what you really need.
That’s where RPR (Realtors Property Resource) comes in. RPR is a digital, property record platform. But really, it’s so much more than that! It’s tools, data and property reports. It’s CMAs, prospecting and listing presentations. It’s current market data, plus neighborhood and school information.
