The Broker Training Institute was enthusiastically championed by SAR Education Committee Chair Corey Wilkerson and his entire committee.  The BTI brought together brokers interested in elevating their knowledge and skills to improve ways to help their agents and clients achieve greater success.  What made the program a success was the tremendous support of a variety of brokers and other real estate industry professionals who put time and energy into developing the curriculum and presentations for the BTI.

Each of the participating brokers attended six half day sessions devoted to a range of topics critical to running a successful real estate brokerage.  Topics included:

• A panel discussion with local brokers and Q & A from BTI participants
• Insurance Concerns
• Running a Brokerage from a legal perspective
• Creating a vision and office logistics
• Marketing your Office and broker responsibilities
• Creating a manageable filing system
• How to run a stimulating office meeting
• Training and retaining high producing, ethical agents

Another significant aspect of the SAR Broker Training Institute is that it will serve as a model for the National Association of REALTORS® and other state and local association around the country.  The NAR and other association have already been in contact with Judy seeking information for the benefit of their members.  Proving once again that the really cool trends start in California!
