Real Living agents: 
Do you go to Real U classes? 
I did for a long time... back when Real Time Training was new.  Then I knew everything (not really but it was a good excuse not to go.) Then I started going again at some point and doing refresher classes.  In 2009 I was in the classroom in Westerville Ohio when Ray was doing the class online...  I went to a full day technology class to try to get help with a couple of technical problems which have plagued me for years... a problem with my website.  Questions about MyRealLiving for … (4 comments)

Columbus remember... Sunday SATURDAY Night turn your clock ahead one hour!
Edit... oooops thanks to @MikaelaNBC4 for noticing... every one knows Saturday night right? If not they'll find out when they are late to everything on Sunday... switch your clocks SATURDAY night!

real living: Merge Creates One of the Largest Real Estate Franchises in Northern America - 02/25/10 09:56 PM

The change from the GMAC brand started in 2008 when Brookfield RPS bought GMAC Real Estate.
