Broker Load of Closed Sales in Paragon
|
Beginning on
Monday, January 6, 2020, closed sales can be reported directly in the Paragon system by staff and brokers
with listing input access.
- Closed sales must be reported by the next business day after recording.
- FSBO sales must still be sent to the SAR/MLS for closed sales reporting.
- Duplicate listings may only be reported once. Send an email to the SAR/MLS and the SAR/MLS staff will remove the duplicate listing from the system.
- Closed sales may still be emailed or faxed to the SAR/MLS office to be input at no charge.
- Closed Sales must continue to be reported by 10 a.m. on the first working day of the month to ensure that they are included in the monthly statistical reports. (For example, all January 2020 sales must be reported by 10 a.m. on February 3, 2020 to be included in the January numbers.)

2020 WR Legislative Day
|
REGISTER NOW for the 2020 Washington REALTORS® Legislative Day in Olympia - January 22-23, next year.
Washington REALTOR® CEO Steve Francks and Government Affairs Director Nathan Gorton give us a sneak preview of the upcoming Legislative Session, REALTOR® priorities and how members can participate in this annual event.
Watch their five-minute video online here:
The Washington REALTORS® Legislative Day is a long-standing tradition among broker members in Washington state.
In 2019, the REALTOR® message was "Unlock the Door for Affordable Home Ownership!"
SAR members joined member colleagues from across the state to deliver that message to the steps of the Capitol building (photo above) and directly to elected Members in face-to-face meetings with every Spokane-area legislator.
The Washington REALTORS® Legislative Day, or "Hill Day." is a chance for you to take the voice of Washington REALTORS® directly to lawmakers in our state capital as they begin their session as we did last year.
"Why should I go?"
Listen to the answer Spokane broker member Judy Flemmer answers that question in this two-minute video:

2020 at the Children's Clubhouse
|
There is a lot of red in the January volunteer calendar at the Children's Clubhouse.
The SAR has been instrumental in keeping this valuable resource open at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital - it offers a playroom for siblings of children who undergo treatment at the hospital. The playhouse gives kids time to be kids at a time of family stress.
Will any of these open volunteer opportunities work for you?
See the January 2020
Children's Clubhouse Volunteers calendar (pictured above),

Committee Service Tumbler
|
If you served on an SAR committee this year (2019) please be sure to pick up a tumbler (pictured above) on your next visit to the SAR if you didn't get one at your last committee meeting of the year.
The handy-sized tumbler will keep hot beverages hot, cold beverages cold, or hold your pens/pencils on your desk in fine style.
This is a gift of your SAR Board of Directors to acknowledge the hundreds of volunteer hours so many Members cheerfully give to keep the SAR running smoothly all year.
Founded in 1911, the Spokane Association of REALTORS® is recognized locally and state-wide as one of the top local REALTOR® associations in the Pacific Northwest - thanks to its terrific Members and staff.
If you served on a committee this year, THANK YOU - and remember to come in and pick up your tumbler!
