From the desk of Janelle Pfleiger, CRS, 2016 president
Since the Council’s introduction of the new member engagement model, the opportunity for CRS Members to get involved is greater than ever. Being an active participant in your local CRS by volunteering, attending events and networking with other agents allows you to stay current with industry trends, boost your reputation, broaden your customer base and increase your income.
It did for me. My career has been enormously impacted by the people I’ve met through my CRS involvement. I have been selling real estate since graduating college, but it wasn’t until I completed my CRS Designation that my career really took off. My income truly doubled!
It was with the Council that I really found my niche. At CRS, I experienced a higher level of professionalism in our industry and found a great group to network with and learn from.
