When considering listing your home for sale with a real estate agent it’s important to ask, “What was the last class you took to improve your home selling and marketing skills?” No matter how much you know, or how much you think you know, there’s always more to learn. That’s why I just completed a two day course in obtaining and servicing real estate listings.
The class was conducted by the Council of Residential Specialists of the National Association of Realtors. It was held in Baton Rouge at our local office. The course included techniques in seller counseling, pricing, various client servicing activities, marketing techniques, and other programs designed to close sales on residential properties.
I enjoyed it. I learned from it. And, I had a good time with other top producing agents in my market. I’m glad the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors brought this program to our market and will definitely attend the next in a series of programs planned for next year.
