Through your Broker, MLS or Association

We'll start with the most obvious. Checking the educational offerings of your brokerage, MLS, or association should always be the first thing you do. They often offer training in conjunction with their technology partners on tech solutions used within the organization or offered as a member benefit.

Your MLS or association should be your go-to source to find continuing education opportunities. Start by checking their website for more information. (We're particularly fond of Chicago area association MORe's page on NAR's Ethics Training Requirement--especially the countdown clock!) If your organization's website is a little thin, don't hesitate to call or email them directly.

And don't forget to check out NAR. Their REALTOR® Education page offers a wealth of information and links to learning resources: http://www.realtor.org/education
