Join Us For Dinner Dates
Dinner Dates with Your REALTOR® Colleagues on Monday, April 8th
Enjoy a night out for some great food and networking! Whether you’re new to the industry, want to expand your network, or just need dinner – this is a great way to connect with other REALTORS®! CAR will make reservations for parties up to 10 people at various restaurants within a short drive (or walk) from the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center, offering an expansive selection of foods and price points for you to choose from.
Here’s How It Works:
- These special reservations are only available to those who pre-register for this additional networking event during the registration check-out process.
- After you RSVP for the Dinner Dates event, you will receive an email in mid-March to select which restaurant reservation you would like to join, along with the meet-up location and time.
- Don’t leave your REALTOR® colleagues in a lurch-they want to meet you. If you need to cancel, please do so no later than March 29 to avoid the dreaded “table for one.”
- Each diner is responsible for their own meals and drinks.
Don’t Miss These Top Events
RRC Continuing Education Course – Leads and Listings (8am-12pm): Securing a listing can prove to be a tough task, even for the most experienced agents. Sellers often enter the process with preconceived notions on how listings work, and agents must come prepared to listing appointments and be able to navigate difficult conversations. This highly interactive workshop will teach you how to become a power lister by learning to anticipate common objections during the listing process and how to respond to them. Through use of role-play and class discussions, you will leave the workshop with new strategies to obtain a listing and the confidence to try them. REGISTER HERE
RRC Class – Negotiate the W (12:30-4:30pm): Through highly interactive role-playing activities, you will develop and practice scripts that can prepare you to successfully negotiate with all parties in a transaction, including clients, other agents and service providers. REGISTER HERE
