I keep getting asked about how to make a QR Code so I thought I’d record this screen cast showing how to make one. It’s really easy to do, so sit down turn your volume up on your computer (so you can hear me talk) and take some notes! Oh, and please don’t laugh at me…as this was my very first attempt at screen casting!
If you need a QR code scanner or reader for your smart phone, just go to your app center and search for Bar Code scanners or key in Zxing and you’ll find the one we use.
This is what a finished QR code can look like. This one has all my contact info but you can create one for just about anything. A listing, an open house…let your imagination fly!
Add this to the list of reasons you’ll want to be at the incomparable Omni Mount Washington Resort on Oct. 17-20, for NHAR’s annual Convention: Mike Staver.
Mike, the author of “Do You Know How To Shut Up?”, is this year’s keynote speaker, and will lead two Monday sessions — on leadership and on creating an exceptional customer experience — with his typical, no-nonsense approach.
Just let him tell you, by clicking here.
Mike is one of many reasons you’ll want to attend this year’s unConventional convention. The most obvious one might be the site itself — the reconfigured and renovated, world class convention center, in the heart of the breathtaking White Mountains.
Need a few more? How about the exceptional educational opportunities, from the practical (NH Core Course, TrueForms and “The Truth About Mold”) to the technological (Video Testimonials, PowerPoint, Outlook and Excel) to the somewhat whimsical (“The Delicate Art of Client Vocabulectomy”).
And how about an entertaining night of pomp and circumstance surrounding the REALTOR® of the Year and Installation ceremonies, and old favorite Club Soda, getting the dance feet moving afterward.
It will all be there, as will an evening specifically designed to celebrate our exhibitors in the all-new Garden Corridor and Presidential Foyer, an RPAC event, and plenty of social media for this new era in real estate, including a “Tweet Up” Tuesday evening and Real Estate Bar Camp “unconference” on Wednesday.
A getaway to the Mount Washington is a great idea in itself. Add Mike Staver and everything else that comes with the 2010 NHAR Convention, and you’ve got something greater than great. Everything you need can be found on the NHAR website here.
So sign up now. You can thank yourself later.
NAR recently released an excellent video on the importance of protecting the REALTOR mark. This is a short (3 minute) video and is very well done. A must-see for all REALTORS!

Every once in a while, the stars align. For those looking to bulk up on real estate education, that time is between this very minute and 5 p.m. tomorrow (June 23).
That’s the window during which the first 20 who register for the June 29-30 GRI 103 course will be rewarded with a free registration to either of the upcoming Loss Mitigation Certification sessions (July 21 or Sept. 22) — a savings of $99.
GRI 103 is one of the eight modules necessary to earn one’s Graduate REALTOR® Institute designation and covers the Code of Ethics, REALTOR® professional guidelines, contracts and agency. It is taught by 2010 NHAR President Monika McGillicuddy and NHAR legal hotline attorney Matt Johnson. As an additional benefit, it is the only GRI module that qualifies for the National Association of REALTORS® quadrennial ethics training requirement.
To register online, click here, or by fax click here.
What is the Loss Mitigation Certification? A one-day course that provides information and guidance on the complicated transactions involving foreclosures, short sales, properties at auction or banked owned, and gives attendees useful ways to protect their commissions while assisting buyers, sellers and mortgage companies through the process. It also addresses the human element of these transactions, as consumers potentially face losing their homes.
Those first 20 registered for GRI 103 (including those who have already registered) will be prompted to register for the LMC course, at no charge, when then arrive at NHAR on June 29.
So don’t delay. Be one of the first 20, and take advantage of this sweet deal from NHAR.
NOTE: This credit applies only to the LMC course and may not be used in exchange for any other course offering.
When: June 23, 2010, 8:30-9 a.m. registration, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. class
Where: NHAR office, 115 Airport Road, Concord
Instructor: Linda Kody
NHAR will host a one-day course, approved for three CE credits, that will provide information and guidance on the complicated transactions involving foreclosures, short sales, properties at auction or banked owned, and give attendees useful ways to protect their commissions while assisting buyers, sellers and mortgage companies through the process. The program will also address the human element of these transactions, as consumers potentially face losing their homes.
The course is now $99, discounted from the normal rate of $295 thanks to a grant from the National Association of REALTORS®.
In addition to the Continuing Education credits, participants will earn their official certification, allowing them to use the LMC logo, gain admission to the exclusive LMC LinkedIn networking group and receive a 55-page manual and library of resource materials.

This designation program is not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Association of REALTORS®.
Wiith an eye toward providing more flexibility to REALTORS® in terms of both scheduling and cost, the Real Estate Professional Series (REPS), which includes Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) modules 101 and 102, may now be taken as two individual courses, rather than as a single, four-day class.
Previously, it was required that REPS 101/102 be taken as part of the same unit, with four particular days required in order to earn the first two modules (GRI 101-102) of the GRI designation. Now, students may break the unit up and take each seperately.
The REPS program is an investment in a strong educational foundation for real estate professionals, offering a comprehensive base for new and seasoned agents alike.
REPS 101, which provides GRI 101 credit toward the GRI designation, offers training in: income chain; business development; marketing tools; creating a partnership with the seller; technology in managing transactions. Students can choose between June 1-2 with Roger Turcotte or Sept. 23-24 with Anita Hill. To register online, click here. To register by fax, click here.
REPS 102, which provides GRI 102 credit toward the GRI designation, provides training in: creating a partnership with the buyer ; negotiating the transaction; and success planning and profitability. Students have the option of taking the course June 16-17 with Roger Turcotte or Oct. 6-7 with Anita Hill. To register online, click here. To register by fax, click here.
