WEEKLY MARKET ACTIVITY REPORT
  
It is a lucrative time to sell a home, and it would appear that it will remain that way for the time being. Houses that show well and are priced correctly have been selling quickly, often at higher prices than asking. Thus far, buyers are proving to be resilient in 2017, keeping the home-purchasing momentum up even amidst the mounting competition that comes with the annual spring market. | MORE

Professionalism - Code of Ethics 2017/18 | 3.75 CE Hours | REGISTER

The new cycle has begun! This course is being offered to bring attention to the Code of Ethics as it applies to your business model in the 21st Century. Many changes have occurred over the years and will continue to change as does the modern-day consumer. It is my intention to update the industry as to how the code applies to the modern-day buyers and sellers in our market place. Along with review of Chapter 82 and the meaning of the fundamentals that we live with daily. As the industry gains momentum in the everyday life of ever consumer we need to take steps to secure our position and do it ethically and honestly. As we protect the largest purchase any consumer normally makes we need to take a step back and make sure we are all doing it according to the rules and regulations and the laws of this industry.
This course satisfies the NAR Code of Ethics requirement for January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2018.
This course has been approved by the MN Commissioner of Commerce for 3.75 hours of Real Estate Continuing Education
