Special Guest Speakers at Marketing
On January 13th we will hear from Tina McSoley of the Marn County School Board to tell us about some of
the latest changes to the curriculum for students in the district. Since many home
sales revolve around the school districts, we felt Linda would bring us valuable infor-
maon to pass along.
Then, on January 27th we will hear from Larry Massey, Director of the Marn County
Building Department, who is going to address the situaon many agents have faced
with open permits lingering in the system for some properes, and how to direct your
sellers to get these permits resolved in a mely manner so as not to hinder any more
closings.
Don’t worry, we will sll get you through Markeng as rapidly as possible! Linda and Larry will both keep their
presentaons brief, but we felt this was valuable informaon to present to you, our members!
All of us at the Realtor Associaon of Marn County wish you
a Happy & Prosperous New Year!!
