Council News

Giving You a Leg Up

From the desk of Dale Carlton, CRS, 2015 president

One of the most rewarding things about being involved in CRS leadership is sharing news about the member benefits and educational offerings the Council provides. These are the tools that help you maintain an edge over the competition.

CRS now provides a valuable new resource to all members that will keep you informed about new developments in our fast-moving industry. CRS has partnered with prominent real estate and technology publisher Inman News to deliver the Inman Select news exclusively to CRS Members. This new member benefit — a $199 value — is free to all CRS Members as part of your annual dues.

The service includes special in-depth reports; breaking news alerts and analysis from Inman’s award-winning team; profiles and features of industry leaders; and new insights into a changing industry. (Read more about the service and how to access it..)

On the education front, several new CRS webinars are scheduled for the spring and summer months. They’ll cover a host of topics that deliver exactly the information you need to succeed, live-streamed to your home or office computer. CRS webinar recordings are available for download via smartphone, Apple iPad or tablet PC. (See “Upcoming CRS Webinars” for topics and registration.)

And don’t forget the Find a CRS Mobile App, which is available for Android smartphones, iPhones and iPads. The app provides a convenient way to help agents and consumers find a Certified Residential Specialist using their Internet-enabled mobile devices. It also makes it even easier for CRS Designees to make connections and build more lucrative referral businesses.

Council leadership strives to deliver more value for your membership to give you the tools you need to succeed. We encourage you to take advantage of these member benefits and help us spread the word.
