NAR debuts new e-PRO® certification course

Next week is the REALTORS Conference and Expo in New Orleans. The event is incredible on so many levels. National committees conclude their 2011 business and new chair and vice chairs gear up for 2012 . There are tons of great learning sessions, and wonderful social opportunities. But this year is really special for me and the gang at SMMI because we have been privileged to re-write the technology course for the NAR, the largest trade association in the country. On November 4th , the course will be kicked off, with a train the trainer session featuring Amy Chorew, Ginger, my son Hal and I, at the same time the nationally renowned Terry Watson teaches the inaugural course.A panel will also be part of that course, consisting of Stefan Swanepol, Ginger, Todd Carpenter, and myself).
Its so exciting I need to write this blog post to convince me that its really happenning :). Hope I see you there!

Phillies Phind a Way to Survive!

Image by reeltor99 via FlickrIts not easy being a Phillies Phan. (No that's not a missspelling  - that's just how we roll in the city of brotherly love!)

After sweeping their series with the Cincinnati Reds , it phelt like the Phillies triumph in the championship series and another World Series appearance was a phoregone conclusion.   But when the Phillies split the home games and lost the phirst two games in San Phrancisco it seemed like we were once again doomed to be a city living with phailure.

Last night the Phillies managed to pull victory phrom the jaws of depheat and phound a way  to phoil the Giants and phorce game six. I'll be at Citizens Park to watch, and I hope that they can prevail and have a threepeat of the world series. And maybe, just maybe be the phinal victor. There's always hope - as Phillies Phans, that's just what we do!

Go Phillies!
