In case you missed RANM on the Road at GAAR...

RANM on the Road in Albuquerque was a huge success! GAAR hosted 4-members of the RANM Staff, 6-speakers as well as around 60 GAAR members!  

Victoria Murphy (RANM President), Debbie Rodgers (Broker Involvement Council for NAR) and Paul Wilson (RANM Treasurer) presented everyone with RANM and RPAC updates. These updates included changes to the RANM website, housing trends, 2018-2020 Strategic Plan, RPAC Goals and how/why to join committees.

Attendees enjoyed a Rex’s Hamburger with the best fries and onion rings I’ve tasted in quite a while!

Wayne Ciddio and Tom Baca from the New Mexico Real Estate Commission discussed the new education requirement of 36 credit hours for renewal.
