Modesto's weekly marketing meeting at the Masonic Lodge

If you have not been there you should. It is a weekly meeting every Wednesday morning from 8:30 to 9:30 am. There are weekly speakers and property discussions and a chance to network with others from Realtors, lenders, title reps and officers, to inspectors, insurance and marketing experts. We even have restarted the property tour (once a month on the third Wednesday of the month) thanks to Nino Pascolati's help getting it started. Check the video of the tour that Sarah Fields made. you can check it at www.cvmarketingmeetings.com

So if you have never been there it is time to start and if you have not been there for a while we all love to see you back.

WinForms Training

On Friday May 8, 2009, I gave a training on WinForms to Realtors in the area. The training was held at Phoenix University which was sponsored by CVAR (http://www.CVAR.ORG).

There were 50 participants and within the 2 hours training, I was able to cover the basics of using WinForms Desktop and Online and featuring the DocuSign (an online digital singing).

CVAR will be providing this training free to Realtors quarterly or as needed at different location to accommodate its association members as an added benefit.

Part of the the topic in the training is to demonstrait the difference between the Destop and the Onloine versions and how to utilize the templates to streemline writing a CAR purchasing and listing agreement forms.
