crs: A Visual Tour of Washington, DC May 2012 - Fun, Food, Friends, Memories & Real Estate - 05/22/12 12:52 PM
A Visual Tour of Washington, DC in May 2012 - Fun, Food, Friends, Memories and Real Estate I spent 4 whirlwind days in Washington, DC last week for the Mid-Year Council of Residential Specialist (CRS) meetings, a series of legislative/educational committee meetings with national and regional leadership - I'm on the National Educational Forum committee. It was 4 days of fun, food, friends, memories and real estate! I suppose it's possible to have a bad meal in DC but I can't say I have. I highly recommend Sette Osteria at 1666 Connecticut Avenue. I ate there twice!! Bistro Bistro and Bistro du Coin

I am heading off to Orlando early Wednesday morning (February 16) for the CRS Sell-A-Bration being held at The Peabody Hotel in Orlando from February 18th through the 20th (I have a CRS Leadership Meeting all day Thursday the 17th). What a fabulous opportunity to get together with some AR folks from the Orlando area and nearby, and those ActiveRain CRSs who are attending! Scheduling is pretty tight, and as with prior conferences I don't expect to have much free time. But I would love to meet up with AR friends in the area and those who are attending

crs: A Visit to the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego in the Gaslamp District, San Diego California - 09/16/09 10:32 AM
I paid a visit to the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego's Gaslamp District yesterday. It wasn't just for fun, although it was that. I was impressed enough, without staying there, that I wanted to share it. If you haven't stayed at one of their hotels, I recommend you consider it. And if you are heading to San Diego in November for the N.A.R. Conference and Expo this might be THE place to stay. The Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is located at 207 5thAvenue at L Street at the beginning of the Gaslamp District. It is, literally, across the

crs: Maybe THIS Will Grab Your Attention: Marketing Ideas You Can Implement - 05/26/09 04:27 PM
As a member of the Board of Directors for the Southern California Chapter of CRS, I recently monitored our CRS 201 class on Listing Strategies. Even though I took this class when obtaining my CRS, I have had the opportunity to sit through it twice since, and always come away with new ideas to use in my listing presentations, pre-listing package, and marketing my listings. The collective wisdom and sharing of ideas among class members that can easily be implemented is one of the biggest benefits . One of the big take-a-ways from the class last Friday was a list of

crs: Agents Helping to Build Homes - 10/02/07 01:00 AM
Real estate agents around the country participate in different ways to give back to their communities, either as individuals or as a group. I'm proud to be a member of our Southern California Chapter of the CRS (Council of Residential Specialists), in part because of the great learning and networking that occurs at our quarterly membership meeting, but also through our fund raising. Part of the mission of the national CRS organization is community service, and the local chapters can choose what they wish. Our chapter, known as SoCalCRS, has chosen to support Habitat for Humanity for the last several years and
