Emerald Coast Association of Realtors endorsement

It's official, I'm endorsed by my home association; the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors! (They better support me, right?) That's President Cliff Chaplin on the left and President Elect Anita Williams in the center and Grayton Beach in the background. If you've ever been to sleepy 'ole Grayton Beach, then you've heard of the Red Bar. We just finished having lunch with several dozen Realtors; Cliff has made a priority of getting out to the members to hear their concerns and suggestions F2F (face to face). One priority I heard loud and clear was that they look to the association to provide education for the members. Education is necessary to be the professionals that we claim to be. I'm not just talking about the minimum levels of continuing education to keep your license current, I'm talking about education in specific areas such as designations, niche marketing, fair housing. Most is attendance agreed that they are taking this time to educate themselves and the agents in their offices. ECAR has a calendar full of opportunities to earn designations, learn about new marketing opportunities, get quadrennial Ethics courses, etc. ECAR even has a education cruise leaving this weekend from Mobile. In these times of trimming budgets, we must remember to keep the members front and center.

Thanks again ECAR for all you do!
