NC Association of REALTORS®' 2013 Convention & Expo Early-Early Bird Gets Big (Convention) Savings!
It's never too early to talk about an educational and entertaining event, particularly when "early" saves you money. And in this instance, "early-early" means ridiculous savings. The NC Association of REALTORS®' 2013 Convention & Expo returns to scenic Asheville on September 14-17, and we're honored to help celebrate the historic Grove Park Inn's 100th anniversary.

If you sign up at any time during the month of February, your registration fee (our early-early bird discount) is only $175 - this is for the entire convention! That's nearly one-third less than the regular registration rate. Remember, the early-early bird is good only through Thursday, February 28. To register, simply visit www.ncarconvention.org.
