YOU MUST BE A CHAPTER MEMBER in order to obtain your logon information and to use the MEMBERS ONLY section of our website, one of the many benefits of being a SoCal CRS Member. The remainder of the website is open to all.
Here’s what to do.
- In the upper RIGHT hand corner of the Home Page you will see the Member sign-on box.
- Under the USER NAME and PASSWORD boxes, Click where it says CREATE ONE to create your account
- On the Registration page you will SELECT A USER NAME, and you will be asked to provide your 7-digit CRS membership number.
- You must include a VALID EMAIL ADDRESS for verification purposes
- Once you have entered the information, click SEND REGISTRATION
- You will receive an email with your user name (the one you selected) and a password chosen by the system
- NOTE: In the email there will be a verification link – you must CLICK on the link to verify the email has been sent to the correct person/email address – you will not be able to logon until you complete this verification process
After you receive the email and have clicked on the verification link you may login on the home page to access the MEMBERS ONLY features, using your USER NAME and the PASSWORD you were provided. You will be able to change your password to one you select after you have logged in for the first time.

.jpg) This is a call for action from any members of the Southern California Chapter of CRS who would like to help our chapter in the area of technology.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, there are going to be some exciting changes made in our website, and our overall use of technology in 2008. The process has already started with our first video but I am well on the way with some more thoughts on what we can do for members, prospects, and even consumers.
If any of you have some thoughts or would like to get involved this year and help me with this task, that would be great. In addition to being Treasurer for 2008, I am the chair of the Technology Committee and would love to get your thoughts and participation. It could be a great way to share your ideas, learn some new things, and contribute to our Chapter. And perhaps you will decide to get further involved on the board for next year. Emily Link, our Past President, will be part of the team, and we look forward to having others be involved, too!
Please feel free to call me (760) 840-1360 or email me if you are interested.
And certainly please share any thoughts you have on how our website could be improved.

Technology is rapidly changing the face of real estate, for consumers, and for agents.
But are YOU taking advantage of all that technology has to offer?
CRS 206 is a terrific course to give you an edge over your competitors in the use of technology - to boost your business, streamline communications with consumers, market listings and much more.
Our Chapter is also committed to using technology to the fullest, and 2008 will bring a number of improvements to our website, operations, and communication to our membership. As Chair of the Technology Committee, we are planning some enhancements to our website that will benefit you, prospective members, and those who are working on their designation.
- Our blog has been up and running for about a year and readership continues to grow - we are averaging about 100 readers per day now!
- We will soon have a link via widget from our home page to this blog.
- We have already added a video of the 2008 Officer Installation (if you have not seen the video on our site, you can visit it here)
- You can expect more use of technology tools in the future
- We are also hoping to add some e-learning experiences on a number of topics as well.
- The Chapter is actively seeking more members, and we believe that technology will enable us to attract, and appeal to, a broader spectrum of members
Our goal is to improve communication, enhance your website experience, provide greater benefit to members, and encourage you to learn more about these tools and start to use them in your business if you are not already doing so.
We welcome your input on our website and how we can improve our services to you, our valued members.
HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 One of the great classes I took last year while finishing my designation was the technology course (CRS 206). While most agents, if not all, have a good general sense of how technology has changed in our business, many do not know what they SHOULD know to be effective, efficient and compete in this evolving marketplace.
I continue to be surprised at the number of agents who are not using technology the way they could to enable their business run more smoothly, to attract more clients, and to meet the needs of today’s Internet buyer and seller. NAR has conducted surveys yearly that continue to show an increase in the use of technology and the Internet by buyers and sellers…and it’s NOT just Gen-X and Y! So how are YOU going to compete effectively in this changing marketplace?
While no single course can give you the details of all that technology can do for you, the CRS 206 course DOES provide a terrific overview of what technology is available and how YOU can use it in your marketing and business operations – blogging, podcasts, Internet marketing, digital photography and virtual tours, text messaging, voice-over IP, 800# hotlines and broadcast messaging, cellular signage, and video are just a few options.
Buyers and sellers these days are knowledgeable about technology and will expect you to be as well – are you prepared?
