At the beginning of each year we receive our dues invoice from our local board of Realtors. Given that payment is a necessary part of our cost of doing business we write our check and go on with our day. How many of us go to the National Association of Realtors website and search for ways to get a ROI (return on investment). Not worth it, you say? I suspect you have not been to: http://www.realtor.org/commercial_secured/stdb.
By going to this website you can save $350 this year and I will bet you were unaware of this free offer. Aren't you glad you read this column?
