TECHTUESTech Tuesday: Drop in for any Tech Question
GRAR's Technology Committee sponsors Tech Tuesdays on the first Tuesday of each month (except for September as we are meeting on the second Tuesday)!   Join us for an informal session about various topics to help you get a better handle on some of our Technology benefits and other Tech topics.  

The September 8 session will be a drop in session for any MLS related tech question or how-to advice you need.  Various members of our staff and the Tech Committee will be on hand to answer questions, get you started, or help you load and initiate an app you've been meaning to try such as RPR Mobile, Puffin or GoNYSMLS.  Haven't tried or have questions about using Instanet/AuthentiSign to get your deals done using e-signatures?  Why not join us for a quick walk through??  Register now as seating is limited.  Note - We will contact you between registering and the session date to find out what you are most interested in so we can be prepared to help you. See you there.
