From the desk of 2018 CRS President Gary Williams
Once again, RRC is offering CRS Week, Sept. 24–28, the Council’s national and local event designed to increase awareness of the value of obtaining the CRS Designation. This event offers the best complimentary education and training you can get anywhere as a sample of what the Council offers.
This year’s theme is “Unbeatable,” focusing on celebrating the power of the CRS Designation, and the ability of our network of CRS Designees to excel in their careers and continue to be the dominant force in their marketplace.
Throughout the week, the Council hosts free webinars and local events, and offers complimentary marketing educational materials to both members and non-members. RRC will host a free live webinar each day. You can register for this bundle today and be automatically signed up for all five of the webinars at once! And there is a bonus: CRS Designees can satisfy their annual Designation Maintenance Requirement by listening to the complimentary webinars offered during CRS Week. This is the time for all of you who have not completed that requirement to get your credit. So, take it from your 2018 president: “Saddle up and get some great education along with good nuggets and many tips.”
The webinar lineup includes the following topics:
- Smart Homes and Aging in Place
- What’s That CRS Mean, Anyway?
- Competing With (& Beating!) Discount Brokerages
- Win That Listing!
- Tips for Marketing to Millennial Homebuyers
Downloadable materials, including a guide to winning seller listings and brand-new CRS Designation marketing materials, will be available.
A free episode of Sound Bites will be available during the week, too.
Wow! What more can you want? Better yet, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign up!
During CRS Week, State RRCs across the country will be hosting events, bringing together CRS Designees and potential new RRC members for networking events, sharing tips and advice, and celebrating the power of the CRS Designation to impact the careers of real estate agents. New this year—to assist State RRCs with holding CRS Week events, the Council will reimburse event expenses up to $500.
Don’t forget, you prove the value of the designation every day by providing your clients with exemplary service based on your profound knowledge of the residential real estate market. I sincerely hope you will join me in this year’s festivities during CRS Week to celebrate the CRS Designation and remind others of the extraordinary value earning it provides. Thank you, as always, for all you do to support the RRC family and the CRS Council.
