Mike Staver: UnConventional … Oct. 17-20
August 19th, 2010
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.
NHAR President’s Message: April 2010

New Hampshire Association of REALTORS President Monika McGillicuddy’s April 2010 message.
It’s GRI Time….
March 21st, 2010
It’s NHAR GRI time….
Way back when I was a new agent it took me about 4 years to get my GRI but once I completed it, I was so happy and proud. Back then each module was 4 days long and held in Lebanon NH, so you needed to stay in a hotel and had the expense of dinners out and being away from home on top of the course fees. It was hard especially with small children at home. It would have been so awesome to just drive the Concord to take it and then only have to be away for 2 days. The nice thing about GRI is once you earn it… it’s yours for as long as you are a REALTOR. You don’t have to keep paying each year to keep it.
So if you don’t have yours yet you should think about signing up…especially since you could get a freebie. But like the tax credit you have a small window of opportunity here.
NHAR sent this notice out last week…. check it out and be sure to watch the video testimonial!

The GRI designation
GRI stands for Graduate REALTOR® Institute. GRI is one of the most widely recognized designations available to real estate professionals nationwide. The REALTOR® Institute program has helped the best and brightest achieve a well-developed understanding of the real estate industry. The GRI designation is granted through State Associations whose courses of study meet the standards set by the National Association of REALTORS® and is available to NAR members only. Therefore, you must maintain your REALTOR® status in order to keep your GRI designation. Unlike other designations, there are no annual fees.
The program consists of one four-day module and six two-day modules. You must complete all modules and receive at least a 75 percent passing grade in order to obtain your GRI designation. Modules may be taken in any order and must be completed within five years from the student’s start date.
Reasons to consider earning the GRI designation:
You will be more knowledgeable.
Recent NAR studies show that REALTOR® members that have the GRI designation earn an extra $18,000 per year.
Increasing your education helps reduce risk and liability.
Professional designations enhance your image.
