Clarify. Simplify. Promote.

That is the core of the GAAR/SWMLS Strategic Plan for 2017. With that in mind, GAAR will ensure that the information, training and education you need is at your fingertips.

To start the New Year off right, here is our 2017 Special Event Calendar from the Annual Passport. We've added a few new events so there will be a special FREE training event every First Wednesday of the month. Our 2017 Speaker Series will cover real estate topics from national real estate experts! And we've expanded the very successful GAAR Grande Open House Weekend into fall! 

Be sure to mark your calendar! You can even sign up for some of this special events today (where there is a link provided):
