Resort and Second-home Property Specialist
The National Association of REALTORS® defines a REALTOR®
specializing in resort and second-home markets as “a real estate
practitioner who facilitates the buying, selling, or management of
properties for investment, development, retirement, or second
homes in a resort, recreational and/or vacation destination.” RSPS
certification appeals to REALTORS® in resort and second-home
markets who wish to distinguish themselves among their peers and
consumers.
Successful resort and second-home specialists need to know more
than just how to sell the sizzle – they need extra expertise and
knowledge. This new two-day course first focuses on the core
essentials of assisting customers and clients in tourist-driven
areas and other second-home markets, then broadens its scope. Learn how to:
- Use community resources and tourism bureaus to your
advantage
- Be prepared to act when laws directly affecting your
business are scheduled to change
- Utilize 1031 exchanges in your resort market
- Make the best use of your marketing dollars
- Handle the media ─
rather than it handling you
- Recognize the rights and wrongs of second-homeownership and
investment ... and much more!
