Share Your RPR Successes

Every experienced real estate pro has a good story to tell around the watercooler, from how a closing was saved at the eleventh hour to buyers who paid cash for a sight-unseen property. Now, Realtors Property Resource® offers a forum for REALTORS® who want to share their experiences and learn from others. RPR Connect, a new Facebook group, is a virtual network of RPR users who share and talk about topics—such as RPR market-level strategies—and learn about new tools and features offered by the real estate data and reporting platform.

RPR Connect is part of RPR’s new 5-Star Campaign that includes ads and articles—appearing in social media and video—featuring a REALTOR® along with a brief remark from a client attesting to why his or her agent is a hero. All REALTORS® have a chance to be part of the 5-Star spotlight. At RPR Connect, post a recent win in your business, such as a listing presentation or a prospecting call that involved RPR in some way. If your anecdote resonates with others, you could be the next feature story or even the star of the next national ad. REALTORS® have access to RPR data through their MLS as a member benefit of the National Association of REALTORS®.

Get the Scoop on Green Real Estate

Do green homes fetch higher prices and spend less time on market? Is demand for energy-efficient commercial space growing? A new NAR report helps you answer these questions and more with data on home buyers’ and commercial tenants’ growing preferences for green and sustainable features in real estate. The second annual REALTORS® and Sustainability Report measures how residential and commercial members perceive sustainability issues. It covers energy efficiency, tiny homes, solar panels, public transportation, and more. Learn more about NAR’s member-driven REALTOR® sustainability initiative at nar.realtor/sustainability.
