Make the Most of May at NABOR®
Dear NABOR® Members,
May is a great time to refocus, recharge, and take advantage of the many resources available to you through your association. As the pace of the season shifts, NABOR® continues to provide education, market insight, advocacy, technology tools, and networking opportunities designed to help you serve your customers and grow your business.
This month, we encourage members to review the NABOR® calendar and register early for upcoming classes and events. A few May highlights include:
On May 5, Short Sale Essentials via Zoom, a four-hour Specialty CE course designed to help REALTORS® better understand the short sale process and reduce risk in those transactions.
On May 6, AI for the Real Estate Life will offer an in-person look at practical tools including AI, Canva, and RPR to help REALTORS® improve marketing, productivity, and client service.
On May 7, Conflict Resolution for REALTORS® will provide three hours of Specialty CE focused on communication, professionalism, and resolving difficult situations effectively.
Members should also watch for the next NABOR® Market Report, scheduled for release on May 22. Our market statistics remain one of the most valuable tools we provide to members, the media, and the public. They help tell the story of the Naples area real estate market with credible local data and give you information you can share confidently with buyers, sellers, and community leaders.
As a reminder, ARDI, NABOR®’s AI-powered member service assistant, is also available to help answer NABOR®-related questions 24/7, 239-382-6333. You can use ARDI for quick information about classes, MLS, legal resources, dues, membership, and other common questions. It is another way NABOR® is working to make member support more accessible and convenient.
Finally, thank you to our committee volunteers, instructors, leadership, business partners, and members who continue to make NABOR® a strong and forward-thinking association. Your participation strengthens our profession and helps ensure that NABOR® remains focused on advocacy, professionalism, member service, and the value of the REALTOR®.
Please continue to check the NABOR® calendar, register for the programs that support your business, and stay connected with the many resources available to you.
Thank you for being an engaged member of NABOR®.
