Quenching the Thirst for Knowledge

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. --Alvin Toffler

As we begin preparations for 201o, the ACAR Education Committee began with the question: What do our members need to know to be more professional and better able to do their jobs?

This is not an easy question and there is no "right" answer. Education is critical to success in this industry as rules, regulations, and even the market change at a head spinning rate. If you can't keep up, you'll be left behind.

So, we began our discussion... what is the path most likely to lead to success? Is it knowledge on short sales? Is it knowledge about the basics of real estate? Is it about getting back to the service side of the industry?

We wanted to ask you, our members, what education do you want most? What can we do to start you on the path?

Drop us a line and let us know... you can comment below or email me.

Susan Hansen
Staff Liaison for the ACAR Education Committee
