Last week we were in Denver for CAR’s
REALTOR®
Day at the Capitol. Over 250 Colorado Realtors attended the two-day event. We had the opportunity to visit with members of the Colorado General Assembly at the state capitol and provide information on the real estate industry's most pressing public policy issues.
Please save the date for our General Membership Meeting on April 7
th
at the Westin Riverfront Resort. We have a great doubleheader program with Keynote Speaker Ross Shafer, author and comedian, who will present “
Are You Relevant?
How to Future-Proof Your Company and Yourself." In the second part of this program, we will have a panel to talk about short term rental regulations. Please register below.
Best regards,
