PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Spring Into Action
By: Denise Ricciotti, RASM Professional Development Manager
Real estate certifications and designations attest to your expertise, experience, and skill set as a Realtor®. They enable you to work in a variety of real estate sectors and demonstrate your competence to potential clients.
UPCOMING CERTIFICATION AND DESIGNATION CLASSES OFFERED AT RASM THIS SPRING:
GREEN DESIGNATION MAY 23 & 24, 2022
GREEN Designees learn real estate concepts, principles, practices, and benefits related to resource-efficient homes. Information for this designation is provided from the ground-up in a way that makes sense to you and your clients. Give yourself a market edge in the changing real estate industry with the only green credential conferred by the National Association of REALTORS®.
The multicultural market is rapidly growing and changing. NAR’s At Home with Diversity (AHWD) certification will teach you how to incorporate topics of fair housing, diversity, and inclusion into your business plan. Give yourself a competitive edge by learning how to work effectively with all clientele.
GRI 201: IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU APRIL 13 & 14, 2022
With more than a million real estate licensees in the United States, effective personal promotion is not optional...it is a necessity. In GRI 201, you will learn the skills to create a personal promotion plan that is both effective and lasting. Sales and marketing are discussed in relation to the buying and selling of real estate by demonstrating communication models that gain appointments, listings, and answer listing objections. In addition, learn to prepare a pre-listing and listing presentation, and to apply the elements of a marketing plan to sell a property. Knowing the questions to ask the tax professionals can make a huge difference. And not being aware of some of the tax laws affecting real estate transactions can create liability. The Tax portion will provide an awareness of the many areas of the tax law and real estate, but the smart real estate professional will encourage their customers to seek professional tax advice from competent tax practitioners.
GRI 202: TECHNOLOGY AND INVESTMENTS APRIL 27 & 28, 2022
Today’s real estate professional must learn about the latest technology available to serve customers because consumers are demanding more knowledge and services than ever from real estate licensees. In GRI 202, Technology Tools and Resources will provide you with the technology knowledge and services that will make you stand out from the competition. The Investment portion provides an introduction to investment real estate... real estate terminology, taxation, and principles of investing in real estate.
