Real estate is evolving at a rapid pace, but it's an offline business in an increasingly online world. Learn what entities have changed the definitions of trust and value, how to integrate a trust proposition and pro-consumer techniques into marketing and client care processes and how to leverage the people-element of real estate into a consumer-centric approach to elevate the value of REALTORS before, during and after the transaction.

Please join us for our next membership luncheon!

The 400 North Association of REALTORS® held the 2017 Circle of Excellence on Thursday, March 1, 2018, at the Forsyth Conference Center in Cumming. The most outstanding group of REALTORS® in North Georgia's real estate industry gathered to celebrate excellence during the past year at this banquet. Circle of Excellence Chair and Master of Ceremonies, Steve Glawe, along with Circle of Excellence Vice Chair Tom Becker and President Liz Bosker, oversaw a lively and entertaining evening. After the program, attendees danced the night away.

This year's Circle of Excellence recognized over 200 members including 10 who reached a Phoenix milestone. This is a testament to the health and vitality of real estate in Dawson, Forsyth and Lumpkin counties. We congratulate all of this year's COE Members!
