Fellow REALTORS® & Business Partners, Did I speak too soon in last month’s message? The weather has taken a bit of a turn. We had such a great March with our Housing Summit and Affiliate Appreciation Night. It was a great turnout for both events. I am so proud of our REALTORS® and Business Partners. We have an extraordinary association.

CMAR Mission Statement The purpose of the Central Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® is to:
April doesn’t seem to be slowing down either. Jim Brooks is doing a follow-up on April 5th for the Down Payment Assistance Program as well as more information on the Healthy Homes Grants. We will have a sold out crowd for our Awards Banquet on April 14th. It will be a great event to acknowledge many of our members. Lastly, on April 21st Jamie Williamson will be back at CMAR for a Fair Housing Seminar. Whether you are new or a veteran in this business, this is important information in our industry. I challenge everyone this month to reach out to a REALTOR® you know that is not a CMAR member and invite them to an event, a lunch and learn or schedule an office visit through their broker. I am certain we have one of the best local associations in the state. We offer our members excellent programs, education, resources & legislative information. Make it a great April everyone!
