From the desk of 2022 RRC President Holli Woodward, CRS
I love the option to search for colleagues using the Find a CRS app. But my absolute favorite thing is to sit across the table over a cup of coffee or breaking bread with other top-tier professionals in this industry to find out why we would work well together. In fact, that’s how some of my most cherished friendships over the past 11 years began. The RRC Board and I love engaging with you and look forward to even more quality time at the numerous upcoming events on our 2022 calendar. We all agree there is nothing that compares to having the opportunity to network and build connections face-to-face. The majority of my real estate transactions over the past few years were a result of relationships built either in the RRC/CRS classroom or at local, state or national events. There is much to be said about the power of connections, and I encourage members to participate in person (respecting your comfort level) at our upcoming events.
The May Governance Meetings are a three-day in-person event in Washington D.C. with a can’t-miss RRC Night Out scheduled. In November, we will have our RRC annual meetings in conjunction with NAR in Orlando, Florida. There will also be countless state classes, CRS week and regional meetings happening across the country, where you will be able to socialize and build priceless relationships. These events will no doubt assist you to build a top-tier referral network.
The Council will continue to host virtual events, as well, to accommodate those who are unable or uncomfortable attending in person. Please check the website and your state RRC pages for the latest information on the new Virtual Summits event series this year, taking place each quarter. Each session will be dedicated to a specific topic, including luxury, listings, digital marketing and investments. More information on all these events can be found at CRS.com.
As you can see, we understand the value of education and networking, and the 2022 calendar reflects that. Please remember to invite a friend or colleague to join you who may not be aware of the benefits of RRC membership. This is how we grow RRC and ensure that our future transactions are with CRS’s or RRC members working to get their designation.
The entire #RRCTeam22 is excited that we have begun transitioning back to more in-person events, and we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
