Twice a year, Wisconsin REALTORS® Foundation (WRF) asks its members to "Team Up!" against hunger by organizing volunteer days with their firms or boards during designated volunteer weeks in June and November. Since the event's inception in 2018, REALTORS® from across the state have made a real difference for thousands of Wisconsin Children. 
The Wisconsin Department of Safety & Professional Services (DSPS) license renewal deadline is fast approaching! 
REALTOR® Designation Awareness Month is recognized annually in the month of November. The National Association of REALTORS® encourages members to increase their professionalism, marketability, proficiency, and income through pursuance of an officially endorsed NAR designation or certification.
Join NAR at the first-ever Virtual 2020 REALTORS® Conference & Expo to reset, refocus and get reinvigorated to position yourself and your business for a big 2021! Don't miss a discussion with John Legend on the Future of Fair Housing, or Opening Session with Anthony Mackie, or Glennon Doyle, Brian Buffini, and a host of other guests. By attending you will be making an investment in yourself and your business that will pay dividends for years to come. You'll be able to find information, connections, and advice specifically geared toward your career level, interests, and goals. It's your go-to, comprehensive source to connect with real estate industry peers, industry leaders, industry information, and business solutions. The sessions you'll attend, the products you'll see, and the connections you'll forge lead to tangible, post-conference tools, relationships, and key learnings you can (immediately) leverage to directly impact and improve your business. 
RPAC is critical to REALTORS®. Each session there are up to 4,000 bills introduced in the state legislature, and many of them impact the real estate industry, property owners, and the quality of life in communities across Wisconsin. 
Reminder to members that Paragon Mobile will be going away, and if you haven't switched to Paragon Connect, Paragon's newest mobile option, now's the time!
Showing Time allows agents to request showings on listings where the listing company does not use the Showing Time service. When an agent clicks the Showing Time icon or showing request link, that agent will either see Showing Time's scheduling tools or a form that allows the agent to send an email to the listing agent, requesting a showing.
Join these workshops to learn how to leverage these two powerful REALTOR® business tools to your advantage. Learn to easily set-up and connect your RPR and zipForm accounts, and then how to improve your business efficiencies by moving seamlessly between the two. 
The RANW MLS Webinar calendar has been updated for November 2020!
