Don’t forget to sign up for the “Power pricing, positioning & presentation” CE class to be held June 23 &24 at the Loveland Conference Center with Denise Riordon & Jay Schweppe. They will help you be able to answer 3 questions: 1. How are we different? 2. Do sellers see us as a value? 3. Are we worth what we charge? We need to feel good about going to work again and know what to do. They will help you get old listings priced right and how to keep deals together. They will help you learn to negotiate and how to learn when the market is going up or when it is going down.

In the event that it is not paid by credit card, check or commission deductions then the entire amount is due on September 15. The Top Performers YTD thru April is on the board in work room.
