Ask any residential REALTOR® and they’ll tell you there’s no one size fits all approach to meeting the needs of clients. Today’s agents fill a variety of roles, needing to know not just the neighborhood, but also local economic conditions.
Join us for this trek into the RPR® Commercial platform, designed specifically to address the interests of residential REALTORS®.
We will look at three common scenarios:
-
A client is moving to town and wants you to find them a commercial property and then a nearby home.
-
A client is looking for a small residential investment property with a specific tenant segment in mind.
-
A client has a trailing spouse and they are asking you about potential employment opportunities.
