#AARCONV Sneak Peek: How to Combat Bad Housing Data

SC2014_Sneak PeekMany consumers turn to the Internet before contacting a REALTOR®, but, the data doesn’t always paint a true picture of the market. If you don’t manage your clients expectations with credible data on pricing and comps, you run the risk of having a very disappointing experience on all sides and even possible backlash from your client.  REALTORS® need a resource to set the record straight. At this year’s AAR Spring Convention, AAR members will uncover Secrets of the Savvy REALTOR®. One of which is the REALTOR®  Property Resource (RPR). 

Join REALTOR® Property Resource Market Manager Terry Nolan  on Tuesday, April 17 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. as he gives an in-depth presentation about how to utilize this free resource from NAR to help combat erroneous data and prove that you have the inside scoop on what’s true in the Arizona market. After class, join Terry in the AAR Genius Bar to speak one-on-one and receive even more hands-on instruction.

REALTOR®  Property Resource (RPR) is a free, value-added benefit included in your National Association of REALTORS® membership. Over 750,000 REALTORS® have access to the largest “parcel centric” database in the world featuring over 160 million properties, county public records, FEMA flood maps, school zoning information and some of the best reports in the business.  RPR exists “because of REALTORS® ” and is only available to NAR members – there is no public or consumer access.
