It was our honor to be able to share a bit of our communications plan update at SCAOR’s General Membership Meeting this year. In case you missed, or would like a re-cap, here’s what’s happening as of this week (10/07/16):
We also got to share some great, interesting stats regarding the last Quarter’s worth of communication. Check out the PDF here –
We’re not there yet on lower owner-occupancy ratios for FHA condo loans. HUD says it needs more input before making it possible to get federally insured financing for buying a unit in a building with a lot of renters. Other stories look at help for struggling homeowners through the federal HARP program, which allows owners to refinance or even modify their mortgage if they have little or no equity or are underwater. The video also looks at the last home sales, and includes a message from the NAR president why real estate professionals should vote in upcoming elections. And it looks at a new audio podcast called The Takeaway that provides concrete ideas for agents. The first podcast looks at creating a board of directors for your practice.
We caught up with Angela Emerson, head of our education department, and did a quick interview:
SCAOR: We’re all really busy these days. What’s the quickest way to keep all of our REALTOR® education organized?
Angela: “If you don’t have it already, I’d visit the SCAOR website to obtain the handy dandy checklist. It’s a great way to help you keep it all together. “
SCAOR: “What classes are you most excited about?
Angela: I’d say to be on the lookout for some surprise offerings…Here’s a hint…..November 18 we will have a special guest that guarantees to assist you with boosting your sales, performance, and customer experience-without being physically present. This guest will visually demonstrate value that only you can provide – in a way that makes your stand out from the competition.
SCAOR: “Bonus – Do you have a favorite educational quote?”
Angela: I do! It’s by Abraham Lincoln: “Upon the subject of education … I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in.”
So what’s happening with Education these days?
Here’s the low-down:
