DESCRIPTION

A $240 value and complimentary for our REALTOR® members, FOREWARN was built around agent safety and identity verification, it's really the whole point of the platform.

However, FOREWARN is also a multi-dimensional tool that can be utilized in other areas of your business to help you be the best real estate professional you can be while helping to keep you safe in the process.

The purpose of this training is to help real estate professionals gain a much better understanding of the platform along with going over some "Pro-Tips" to help you understand the various ways to leverage FOREWARN in your real estate business.
