With the upcoming holidays, this is the last issue of the REALTOR Direct e-news for 2023. Your REALTOR Direct e-news will be back on Monday, January 8, 2024.  Happy Holidays!
Broker & Member Forums for MLS
As we previously communicated, the next step in our exploration process of a potential MLS Regionalization is for us to listen to input from our Brokers and Members.

We have two sessions planned in January, one for Designated Brokers/Owners and one for REALTOR® Members to attend. During these forums, we will share important information regarding the MLS landscape and its potential effects on our local market and industry. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback.

January 11, 2023 - 10:00am | Designated Broker/Owners Forum
January 18, 2023 - 2:00pm | General REALTOR Member Forum
To attend, please sign up through your member portal. Both sessions will be held at the Association office located at 12300 Sycamore Station Place.
Happy Holidays from Us to YOU!
Wishing each of our members a joyous and wonder-filled holiday and a prosperous 2024! The Association office will be closed for the holidays on December 25th, December 26th, January 1st, and January 2nd.
Installation & Holiday Party Photos
