ROOKIE ROUNDTABLE a huge success!

Special thanks to Kitty Stockton and Jessica Bryan for resurrecting the Rookie Roundtable. The event provided outstanding one-on-one "coaching" for members to help them succeed as new agents in the business. Rookies in attendance had this to say ...

"The tips for building my business were outstanding." Kher Monrose

"Thoroughly enjoyed this meeting. It was very informative and interactive." Selina Day

"Kitty and Jessica's experience and advice is invaluable." Chris Knapp

Join us for the next Rookie Roundtable, June 27, 12:00-1:00pm at the Association office. Some topics to be discussed include Personality Profiling and Working with Difficult People.

BEST OF THE WEB

REALTOR AE magazine selected GCHAR's website as a winner! Here's what the judges had to say:

"Effective organization of essential elements with style makes this site stand out. Not merely visually appealing, this site also delivers on useful, timely information....

This website has a clean, uncluttered look and is visually appealing. It is clearly directed to members and not the general public, which is in line with the organization's stated design goals. Navigation is clear and intuitive -- it makes sense.

The site looks very professional and the design is appealing....The four button tabs at the top right of the home page, which stay consistent throughout the site, is a clever feature that is very simple. I also like the four buttons for direct links to member search, at the top of the page. I can see how this would be a primary feature for members, and so their placement was a good move. I would probably refer my clients to the open house feature of the site."
