Message from Our Chapter President

 

Hello, my name is Deborah Kniss and I am the Southern California CRS Chapter President.

As Certified Residential Specialists, we are a big part of the solution to the country's economic woes.

We are on the front lines and our skills are needed in order to get more real estate sold. The Board of Directors has been on a mission to provide our members with more tools to do just that. Being a member of the Chapter is more important than ever.

Why not review the following checklist to verify that you are using the new tools the Chapter has made available to you.

  • REO 101 and REO 102 - several workshops will be offered this year to teach you everything from accurate BPO procedures to approaches for cash for keys
  • Weekly webinar series about enhancing your on-line presence and expanding your on-line referral network through blogging and social media
  • New Financing Course (CRS 205) - content includes financing alternatives , tax saving opportunities and applications that will set you apart from the competition. We are also sponsoring 5 CORE classes in Southern California - use your $50 rebate for one of these 2-day classes
  • Roundtable discussions on various topics at an association near you
  • Our website is a good source for referrals and leads
  • Our blog (SoCalCRSBlog.com) is linked to our website and is a great way to share experiences and information and learn more about our Chapter
  • Attendance at General Membership Meetings is great for networking and enhancing your skills. Our next Membership Meeting is on August 7th in Pasadena, CA

Just A Thought...

All of us believe that we are the best agent for the job and that our company is the best company. The real Point of Difference that sets you apart is right in front of you - CRS. By educating your clients about the value of using a Certified Residential Specialist, you will be positioning yourself as their source for CRS agents when they or their family or friends make a move anywhere in the country. Teach them to ask for a Certified Residential Specialist. A copy of your certificate in your listing package is not enough. You can provide them with a highly qualified and skilled agent in the city of their choice (perhaps an agent that you met through the Chapter) without appearing self-serving by insisting they use a particular company.

You'll stay cutting edge with the Southern California Chapter of CRS!!
