Welcome & Meet MSBR's Newest REALTOR Members
These ten new agents attended February's new agent orientation and hear from Michelle Abplanalp, Ryan Eber, and Donna Roberts. They now know about annual dues, National, State & Local Associations roles, REALTOR safety, the real estate commission and CE requirements- still more to learn but they are off to a great start!

Rob Lacaze, Senior Vice President with TTR Sotheby's International spoke to agents on key points he has learned over his 25 year career in Real Estate.
The survey indicated everyone thought the presentation was helpful, informative and worth their time!
One agent said Rob's presentation was insightful and that Rob brings a unique perspective.
When Rob was asked why he is so willing to share his experiences he said, "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle."
Thank you Rob for sharing. MSBR plans to host more of these presentations in the future. |

We understand that the ability to attend CE classes virtually is highly valued by our members, and we’re proud to offer this convenience at no cost through MSBR. However, we kindly remind you that certain rules must be followed to ensure a smooth and productive experience for everyone.
To keep the class on track, we will mute participants, and we ask that all questions for the instructor be submitted via the chat box. With over 100 attendees in some sessions, these guidelines help ensure everyone benefits fully from the class. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding! |
