NEW!  WORKPLACE REAL ESTATE EDUCATION PROGRAM for Consumers.
Both The Fund and Florida ARECS have been successful at reaching real estate agents through both education and traditional advertising.  However, the public can be more difficult to reach.  Social media is effective, but we are looking for a more personal interaction between real estate attorneys and the public. The RECs held successful homeowner workshops during the Great Recession as Nishad Khan referred to in his remarks at the RPPTL meeting however, in the absence of an economic catastrophe, we need a new way to reach people on a personal level.
