Find real estate groups
Building relationships with other real estate professionals in your area is a great way to stay on top of trends and have a bit of fun while you’re at it. You can find in-person groups of all types, but there are great options online, as well. Joining and engaging in Facebook groups for realtors is a simple (and free) way to connect with and learn from your peers and professional contacts.
Search for lunch and learn events for realtors in your area for a fun and informative gathering. You can network and learn from other realtors about the ins and outs of the market.
If you’re looking for a larger platform, check out The National Association of Realtors (NAR). You can find monthly updates of market research by economists of national housing and commercial stats and trends.
