Government Affairs Directors
Give Back
NAR's State and local Government Affairs Directors donated more than 200 toys to Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel, as part of the 2018 GAD Institute. These toys will be distributed to children who stay days or weeks in the hospital. A surprise toy provides hours of happiness and perhaps some relief from their illness. During the holidays or on their birthday, this may be the only gift the child receives.

Breaking up is hard to do. There are many reasons for calling it quits with a client, though. Whether he or she won’t commit to a path forward for the transaction or stalls upon every request from a lender, appraiser, or contractor, you’ll likely need the skills to cut ties amicably with a time-waster at some point in your career. But while you’re accustomed to managing your clients’ emotions, you’ll also need to put a governor on your own in this sensitive and potentially contentious scenario.

A Roaring Success? Agent Uses
T-Rex to Market Home
They say everything's bigger in Texas, so
why not marketing gimmicks? Real estate agent Casey Lewis exemplified this by
