DETAILS	20 Tue, Feb 20, 12:00pm – 12:30pm Using RPR to Ensure a Successful Buyer’s Tour: Preparation is Key LOCATION Your own office or computer DESCRIPTION There are several, simple yet highly rewarding steps a REALTOR® can take to ensure a successful buyer’s tour.

Learn More & Register COST Free Register DETAILS Tue, Feb 20, 9:00am – 12:00pm Selling Solutions DESCRIPTION Selling is ‘offering solutions which satisfy the seller’s/buyer’s NEEDS’. The right solutions can only be determined when the agent understands the sellers’/buyers’ true needs – their requirements to make the decision to sell or to buy. Sounds easy enough yet being able to distinguish between a true need and a want can be difficult. Learn how to distinguish a need from a want, identify the seller’s/buyer’s true needs, and how to sell solutions to those needs. Handouts will be provided during class. INSTRUCTOR Gary Johnson CE HOURS 3 Hours TN & GA COST Members: $30.00 / Non-Members: $45.00 Register DETAILS Tue, Feb 20, 1:00pm – 4:00pm Target Marketing DESCRIPTION Target marketing is most often associated with what an agent does to market a listing to attract buyers. Target marketing is also effective to help the buyer find the right property for them to buy when showing property. No agent wants to be the buyer’s tour guide – showing property after property in hope they find that right property. Learn how to use a target marketing strategy during the showing process to help the buyer buy that ‘just right’ property.
