Designation & Certification Summer Camp Rewind
LOUISIANA REALTORS • June 23, 2017
Louisiana REALTORS® held its first Designation & Certification Summer Camp from June 12-16 at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, LA. The week long event featured top notch national instructors that touched on a variety of topics to help REALTORS® develop their knowledge and concentrate on skills to better serve their clients. LR also debuted 3 new CRB courses geared for brokers and office managers. Representatives from CRS, REBAC and REBI were on hand to discuss the value and benefits of designation education and a great time was had by all who attended.

Want Your Teen to Own a Home Someday? Start Talking Money Now Teens may not be thinking about mortgage rates or down payments just yet, but the money habits they’re building now can follow them for years. And 88% of teens surveyed by Fannie Mae and Junior Achievement said they want to own a home someday. This week’s Consumer Guide: Talk to Your Teens About Money and Homeownership makes those conversations a little easier, covering everything from credit scores and budgeting to debt, renting versus owning and saving for that eventual down payment. So yes, you may have to interrupt the doomscrolling. But helping teens get smarter about money today could put them in a much better position to get the keys to a home of their own down the road.
