Back to School for REALTORS!

When I was a kid, my Dad used to save all of the "Back to School" ads from the paper and share them with me.

Now a solution! Come discover the spice you need to rejuvenate your business in four areas - Approach - Attack Plan - Tech Knowledge - & Work Smart Marketing. All provided during class - not sold at the back of the room.
