"The BIG Picture"
Management Conference
December 12 in Pewaukee
Real Estate is a relationship business - not a technological wonder.
Broker/Owners and Managers - you are invited to attend the annual Management Conference in Pewaukee on
December 12, 2002. Much of the focus on keeping up in business today is on the importance of technology. It is true, technological advances are changing the way real estate professionals do business...but that is just one piece of the puzzle. To be a successful manager today, you need to incorporate strengths in many areas and help your agents do the same. Strong communication skills and the ability to be a leader are vital to staying in the game. Learn what's happening in your business at the annual Management Conference. Speakers include: David Charron, President and CEO of MRIS; Ed Krafchow, president of the Tri-state consortium of Prudential California Realty, Prudential Nevada Realty and Prudential Texas Properties; Steve Murray, co-editor of REAL Trends and president of Murray Consulting Inc., the nation's leading trends newsletter for residential brokerage firms.

Appraisal CE Now Available!
How to Evaluate & Value Manufactured Homes
Perhaps one of the most confusing and mysterious appraisals that confront appraisers today is that of Manufactured Homes. In the past several years just under 50% of the homes sold in the U.S. were either Manufactured or Modular Homes. This obviously is a large source of business for the appraiser. This seminar not only looks at the different types of construction of the two but also how they are transported to the site and placed on their foundation. Also examined will be the quality of construction, the HUD Code, construction methods, foundations, tie downs and styles. Also discussed will be the choosing of the proper comparable sales and the use of stick built houses as comparables. Instructor Philip Urso, MAI, GAA will help you understand this type of appraisals. Seminars will be held November 19 in Milwaukee, November 20 in Appleton and November 21 in Madison.
